My Page Billboard

Peace is not the product of terror or fear.
Peace is not the silence of cemeteries.
Peace is not the silent revolt of violent repression.
Peace is the generous, tranquil contribution
of all to the good of all.
Peace is dynamism. Peace is generosity.
It is right and it is duty.

    • Bishop Oscar Romero (1917-1980)

About Me When you see all of me you will know who I am. I am the child of Salvadoran immigrants, ni de aqui, ni de alla, switching between native and assimilated tongues, tactful and methodical, stubborn and fickle, yet loving and humble, passionate and peaceful. And you will know it is me when you hear me say: Pick your battles wisely. And my name is Kevin, which in Gaelic means "gentle and lovable."
