(Gothic News, 3/13/03) A t a first time, private meeting in Washington, D.C. is said to be now taking place between a group called the "Light Sculpture Collective" and Leaders of the Peace Movement. The meeting with the artists is to consider emergency proposals for a "Shock & Awe" Candle Light Procession to take place on the Capitol Moll this Sunday evening, March 16. At the moment rumors are cyber-flying around the globe that President Bush unilaterally and/or with a couple of other client states plans early next week to launch devastating "Shock & Awe" attacks on Baghdad.
The Light Sculpture Collective itıs been learned is introducing an urgent proposal to attract at least 40,000 people with "long burning" candles for a Procession to start on the grounds below the Capitol. Monitors will align participants in columns stretching from one side of the Mall to the other and walk West towards the Washington Monument. A central phalanx 5 columns wide and 160 rows deep is to be "manned" by participants who will carry 10 foot high replicas of the 800 Cruise Missiles, the number set to be unleashed on Baghdad during the opening days of the attack. The black fiberglass Missiles will symbolize attacks to be made under the cover of darkness. The Missile noses are illuminated by a red LED flashing out the letters "NO".
The Procession will start at nightfall and begin with a ritual lighting of the candles and include a bow toward Congressional Offices that Members immediately reconsider their vote in support of the War. After walking silently to the Washington Monument, the columns will reconfigure for a Casting of the Light into the White House and, in particular, President George Bush. Each Procession member is invited to walk as close as possible to the back of the White House and point and shake their candle toward the Presidentıs windows.
"In the manner of the Presidentıs Christian faith, if 40,000 of us can get Mister Bush to take in the accumulations of light the "Shock and Awe" of it we will have at least a slim chance at reconfiguring his and the Pentagonıs plans for an Iraqi slaughter," a Light Sculpture Artist is quoted as saying.
The Procession will finish with a configuring of the 800 Cruise Missiles in a circle of "NO" noses pointed in toward the Washington Monument.
The Meeting is expected to reach a decision by late this afternoon.

All the memory that's left over is "in the Heap" (excepting some special cases and some reserve). There is little structure, but in return for this freedom of movement you must create and destroy any boundaries you need. And it is always possible that the heap might simply not have enough space for you.
