Hope is definitely not the same thing as optimism. It is not the conviction that something will turn out well, but the certainty that something makes sense no matter how it turns out.

-- V�clav Havel

Tomorrow's rally at the UN--which has actually started already--will be exciting. Will I go? No--rallies are not my style, I'm more of a meditate-in-groups, pray-for-peace kinda gal. But I think it will draw a lot of very different types of people, and could make a real impact.
