The 100th birthday of Sophie Scholl, b. 5/9/1921, who was beheaded by the Nazis in 1943 for her role as a member of the White Rose, a circle of young people who distributed leaflets denouncing the crimes of the regime. She was 21. She saw and spoke the truth. Her spirit lives.

"There are no makers of peace because the making of peace is at least as costly as the making of war - at least as exigent, at least as disruptive, at least as liable to bring disgrace and prison, and death in its wake."--Daniel Berrigan SJ (1921-2016)

It’s our 10-year anniversary!
May 7, 2011 was a magical day... face-painting, balloon animals, a chocolate fountain... bottomless Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream (thx @YoBenCohen!).
It all ended with a rainbow, & a ride into the sunset on our tandem bike, with the cans dangling behind.

45 yrs ago, when Dorothy Day asked me to serve as managing editor of the Catholic Worker, I had no idea she was pointing me toward my life's work and vocation--not just as an editor, but as HER editor. Here is my latest edition of her work. @OrbisBooks Next year: The Seventies.

@RobertEllsberg the stuff you write is darn good, too.

What a record to have edited, Robert. I wonder what it's been like for you to have gone through so much of her writing in such depth. Have you written about that experience?

Not about the experience of editing, per se. This is my 4th volume. #5 just finished for next year. A privilege, a grace, to keep her so close.

Maybe you should think about it. A long essay, perhaps. That total immersion changes something in your head, doesn't it? Your fans would love to read about what it was like for you.

Thanks for the suggestion. My Commonweal lecture, "Walking with the Saints: My Writing Life" touched on this, but not specifically on DD.
