I’m holding a newspaper clipping from 1996. The creases are torn, the page yellowed. The headline reads “Mother bear charges trains.” Trains had killed her two sons, and so this mother grizzly charged train after train after train.

At first I carried this clipping in my wallet, and then I taped it over my desk. It helps me remember what it means to be courageous, what it means to be alive. -Derrick Jensen

Cindy Sheehan, whose son Casey was killed in the Iraq war, is definately charging the train head on, courageously.

Since Saturday, August 6th, Cindy Sheehan has held a vigil outside President Bush’s ranch in Crawford, Texas demanding an audience with the president to ask why her son died in Iraq. Sheehan has no plans to end her vigil until Bush meets with her to discuss the war, he returns to the White House, or she is arrested.
