this is for you.... .the one that is reading this nice blog post

Count the sky that has watched you grow with his painted eyes,

The heaving waves that find their echo in the tides of your breathing,

The little birds that have sung you their songs,

The stars which have been a lamp to your path, and are your rightful inheritance.

Count unexpected laughter, Count undeserved grace,

Count passion and love making and dreams yet to be born,

And bow your head and say ‘thank you’,

Now count the lives who still need your light,

The hungry, the sick, the helpless,

Count the children who will die today

And imagine if with the breath of your body you could help just one.

Turn your face to the moon and the stars,

And know yourself as a child of the light.

You are the goodness that cannot be extinguished,

The love that burn through the darkest night.

And perhaps, in turning you will see what I have seen,

And this day where everything seemed wrong,

Was not your curse.

It was your gift,

Your chance…

To find inside yourself a forgotten ‘thank you’,

To smile in the face of the grim suppressors,

To stand in the heart of the glowering darkness and

Turn your face to the moon.
