The Scarritt Bennett Center (near Vanderbilt) is hosting a series of events leading up to the 30th anniversary of the International Day of Peace on September 21st. One event took place last night, and it was a silent candle lighting service/peace vigil. As I sat in the grass with my candle, I was all of a sudden reminded of a candle lighting service that took place on the lawn of Vanderbilt's campus right after September 11th. I hadn't thought about that night in about ten years, and there I was, doing the same thing in basically the same spot. It felt very full circle and appropriate. (My candle at the peace vigil pictured.)
