We love to go for walks with our dog at a picturesque hiking trail featuring old-growth trees and a scenic pond. This photo is at the end of the path underneath a bridge overpass. Back in January, it was reported on the news that messages of hate were found in this area. They have since been covered over, remaining blank gray paint for many months. As we rounded the bend toward the bridge this past weekend, we were happy to see a colorful and hopeful display. Where someone once gave hate life, now simple yet powerful messages born of love are on display.

Our words are powerful

If we use them right

To erase hate

With love and light
