To Make Peace In The World

I visit my old blog. Read things, places and names. Remembering moments, feelings and faces...
It feels like a zillion years ago.
Or perhaps another life ago.

Wondering if everyone are okay, happy, safe and sound.
Alive.

Some friends just stopped writing. Just like me.
Alajnabiya with her beautiful sunny side.
Ned with his oranges and olives.
Southern Muslimah.

Some friends are no longer here. No longer will I ever read their new posts.
Leila. Her dove's eye view.
Vik. Restiamo Humani.
May they rest in peace.

And for the rest of us...stay human.
More good, less harm.
Never lose hope.

To Make Peace In The World

Advice for the President from my seven-year-old:

Don't litter.
Take down the war.
Save water.
Tell friends don't fight or I'll tell Mama and you'll be in a time out.
If somebody fights with you, take three steps back.
If you see a good teacher, tell him or her.
That just about covers it.
~ Leila el-Saba
