Book Review
-----------------
"MEETING THE 'IS'"
"Memories and Cogitations"
a book by Miriam Hope

Never before have I smiled so much while reading a memoir. As
a wide-eyed young lady in San Francisco, she befriended the
people on the street. As a peaceful white-haired grandmother,
she was arrested protesting nuclear weapons and the Trident
submarine. All along the way, Miriam shows us a very unique
prospective on the world, through her life and her poetry. She
has fought injustice from within the welfare system. She founded
the Ecumenical Hunger Program in Palo Alto, CA in 1975. She
shows us how to make a difference in the world, without putting
others down, without compromise. Now, as as a member of the
Unitarian-Universalist Church in Valdosta, GA, she continues to
show us the way of Hope.

Read this book. Smile at the stories. Reflect on the poetry.
