I feel pretty blank right now, no words coming to mind really, no passion spilling out on the page. Today was a lot of things, mostly synonymous to all things wonderful (all praise is due to God). Mostly gorgeous rays of beauty emanating from the unity. We* can always be better, but I think what we were today was awesome; because we put others before ourselves, because so many said "what can I do" and did what ever they could (no task was taken up with hesitation, nor viewed as miniscule or unworthy of one's time), because Gaza was in our prayers, because we cared, and above all else, we did the best we could to work together and get as many people involved as we possibly could. We dared to cross lines we hesitated to cross before, and that made this week all the more special.
I pray that we don't get caught up or sidetracked by the small matters in life, and that we always keep things in perspective; that we remain in a constant struggle to remain humble and not lose focus by becoming arrogant or prideful; that we embrace truth and stand by it; that we remain steadfast and sincere in our efforts, and that this really was an open door, an opportunity to get together, to get to know one another, and to share each other's struggles.
No step is small, we can start a movement in our own lives and lifestyles, a revolution of the mind, body and soul, we can make a difference, never underestimate the power of unity.
I'm going to go to sleep now, but I look forward to getting right back to work for next week as soon as possible.
Peace & Blessings & Love
