The Epic Return to Trinity...

Global Nuclear Disarmament Fund "Full Circle" is a 25 day walk (July 16 to August 9).

Almost 60 years ago a flame was kindled from the embers of the City of Hiroshima after the world’s first atomic bomb was dropped on a civilian population in hopes of ending World War II. Three days later, a second Atomic Bomb was dropped on the civilian population of the only Christian City in Japan, Nagasaki. The flame still burns today and has become a symbol of hope for peace and a reminder that nuclear weapons must never again be used on civilian populations.
For decades Zen Monks have walked endlessly between Hiroshima and Nagasaki in the belief that their selfless sacrifice and prayers for peace will make Nagasaki the last city in the world ever to know the horrors of Nuclear War. Now, they will be joined by Native Americans, Veterans, and peace groups of all faiths for their final 1600 mile journey across deserts, over mountain ranges and through more then 250 communities as they walk from San Francisco to the Trinity Test Site in Alamogordo New Mexico, location of the first Atomic Bomb detonation. Once returned to its origin, the flame that has been kept for 60 years will be extinguished during a global television broadcast calling for an end to the threat and fear that we have lived with for four generations…

My thoughts are with the walkers. But Steven Seagal? I respect him as a seeeker of truth, I just hope that the press treat him and his words with respect not ridicule (as usually is the case with the action star(?).
