The Rev. Susan Karlson wrote this prose after crossing the Edmund Pettus Bridge with our group on the Pilgrimage:
"Crossing Over"
I walked the "Bridge" today
over the most beautiful flowing river,
under the most beneficent blue skies.

silently, prayerfully.
We crossed the bridge,
imagining a different blue sea below--
a sea of blue deputies
with clubs, tear gas,
on horseback--
there to greet the marchers.
