gg at 155–thank you so much for that……….

matters more than you know…….i think that may become my favorite quote……..really. wish you knew all the reasons why……..it’ll do………

check out coleman barks–rumi, my hero……….

Thanks Du for joining in and offering such good links.

thanks, cuz it was heated the last time she was here.

she was expressing frustration and well, hate, and i smacked her back about it…..among others.

it’s hard to be specifically articulate when you are angry and frustrated, and i called her out on it.

but she didn’t know where i was coming from when i smacked her back.

maybe now she will.

i just hope that you have enough people who can help your situation to turn things around.

that’s a lame way of putting it, but all i can think of right now,

let me know how i can help.

i will.

“He who is not my brother in religion is still my brother in humanity”

Ali ibn Abu Talib

nearly 1400 years ago – Siun’s right acknowledging our shared humanity in whatever way you can and getting others to acknowledge it if you can is vital. But you already knew that :-)

oh, i so hope that is enough, cuz that’s all i know how to do, except for going over there, and i don’t have a clue how i could do that.

like i would here, i would be in my car, if friends were having a problem……….the other day, an autistic boy 9 yrs old, who can’t talk, went missing….i pictured him harmed and unable to call out for help….we are on the edge of rural, with woods, ravines, etc…and the creeks are up, flooded….it happened right before dark, and left exposed, he could have died overnight……..we received a 911 robocall, about a missing boy, and i jumped into my car with my dog who can find a kid anywhere…..i got there, right down the street, and there were over 30 cars, and countless 4 wheelers ready to search……and they had just found him.

what i am trying to say is what you are saying, that we are sisters and brothers, and i would jump in my car in a second for maryam and gg…i would.

they need to let us know how we can help, it feels a little hollow just sending grocery money to red crescent.

i talk to friends and family about them, maybe that helps in the long run, i don’t know.

what else can i do, that i would like to know.

it is such a loss, that part i cannot get over, yet they do. every day. and they are there.
