This is not our typical drive.
In honor of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr’s birthday we sought out peace and healing opportunities. Dr. King committed his life to achieving social justice through nonviolent means. I wonder what the world would be like if he were still alive. Would his impact have been as great? We discussed the subject while on the road.
This One Tank trip was a step away from our usual scientific-oriented—if not food oriented-- selves. As we were in sacred space we omitted the photos of our smiling, food loving selves.
The trip was 46 miles one way and primarily on the 5 Freeway. Although not open road, it was an uncongested Monday holiday. 
Links to labyrinths (in general) and the cross (in particular) are below. All three locations fit with our goal to meditate toward peace.
First stop: Trinity Unity Labyrinth, Tustin
Next stop: Emmanuel Episcopal Church’s Labyrinth, Fullerton
Finally: The Healing Cross, St Mark’s Episcopal Church, Glendale
