Davidversary
June 3, 2024
June 3 is the anniversary of David’s first day (2009) of standing on the corner of 3rd and C — now dubbed Compassion Corner — and asking people to write their definition of compassion in a notebook. When David was alive, he’d celebrate this day by having a marathon session at the bench. Last year, Maria organized a memorial at the corner. This year, it was a gathering at Davis Community Church.
Andy Jones was the emcee and also read a poem he’d written (will post when I can get my hands on a copy). Eight of us were invited to share in 1-2 minutes our concept of compassion. And Maria gave a presentation on David and forgiveness.
The Threshold Singers sang before the program started and the event was catered. (Left overs went to the Night Market.. a nice touch.)
All in all, a really lovely way to honor David.
