God, whose love and joy
are present everywhere,
Can't come to visit you
unless you aren't there.
~ Angelus Silesius
As a witness for Peace, our role was to witness in two senses of the word: we SAW, and by our presence we offered affirmation by word or example of a solidarity based on love and faith and the Good News. The word that is much used is "accompaniment." Our contribution was less in our doing than our being-with.
