From "Creed," by Dom Helder Cámara

I want to believe that the whole world

Is my home, the field I sow,

And that all reap what all have sown.

I will not believe that I can combat oppression out there

If I tolerate injustice here.

I want to believe that what is right

Is the same here and there

And that I will not be free

While even one human being is excluded.

A Day in My San Diego Life...In Pictures

I write too much. Here's to remedy that. A photo-journal of a typical day in the past three weeks in San Diego.

I wake up looking something like this...



...only joking. That was after a hike in Santa Barbara.

I drive this car (without the LMU soap banner on the window) down two highways to Park Blvd. in downtown San Diego...


Where I enter this office (Catholic Relief Services West)...



It's not this messy anymore. I am helping to organize it :)

To channel as much money as possible into programs abroad, the CRS office is no more than a small apartment, complete with a single bedroom (my "office"), a kitchen, a bathroom, and a living room, which looks like this...



And has beautiful things on the wall like this...



Or this...




After work, I take a run down Park Blvd, where I encounter...



Or...



A nightly spree in this city usually includes something I don't do often, like country line dancing or a Padres game...





After which it's time to head "home" to El Cajon and the Haikers, where I usually find something like this...



Good night!
