Maybe unconsciously I have given myself no break during several weeks I have spent in Homestead. Although unlike at Tornillo, I leave at night, only 2 rtn in morning, parking across from main entrance & unloading chairs and stepladders and banners from the back of my car.1/7

No break, in some sort of acknowledgment of the indefinite prison term the children inside suffer and live. Marty keeps trying to get me to take a drive with him down to Key Largo for a nice lunch, and so far, it always seems to me that I will be gone too long.2/7

I am being foolish. Even with frequent visits to the place along the fence, where we set up our stepladders and wave and exchange gestures with the kids inside, no one would miss me for a couple of hours. The guards, who ring the perimeter and watch us all the time... 3/7

...having little else 2 do w/their time, might find life a bit more boring than usual, but little would change. Now, my time here is soon winding up. I will B unlinking my time from those sentenced 2 these unjust terms & Melissa will help me... 4/7

... navigate my way through a painful disengagement. I will B going home.

And they will stay-maybe 2000 of them-& other warriors in the band of brothers & mostly sisters-will keep vigil, and faith, at the gates of the prison camp. Many are coming. 5/7

From far & near. Yesterday the Dedicated Democrats of Homestead stood w/protest veterans of the Tornillo Witness, & some from the heartland, steadfast & determined. It is hard 2 say it. It will B harder 2 do it. In a little over a week, I will go away, at least for a while.6/7

And the concentration camp for children will stand. It is a long war, and I will be on leave. 7/7
