Sissy and Piper are attending Peace Camp this week. It’s all about the world and your role in it. Make yourself more peaceful if you want to change the world. It’s a Unitarian Church so we’re all into Thoreau over there. And there’s a dance contest every day, which Piper won, of course.

“My camp counselor said she liked how espresso I was!” Piper said, proudly displaying her stickers. I’m not sure if her verbal slip says more about her dance moves or my love of all things caffeinated.

“Did she say you were expressive?” I asked.

“Yep! That’s it!”

In addition to peaceful dancing, there is storytelling. This is a current favorite:

“If there was more peace maybe the world could be magical,” Piper said. “Maybe.”
