knowledge is greater than fear

Crossing the Bridge of Dreams again 

Late at night - my third time to go to sleep

Walking over the River of My Mind

It is a perfect night; clear and cool

But not cold, a bright moon 

A few small, white clouds, scattered stars 

I am not aware of which moment

It is that I close my eyes

THE MOUNTAIN

“When the whole world is silent, even one voice becomes powerful.”

-Malala Yousafzai

A bullet

Might bring down a child

But not an idea

Not a mountain

Malala is a mountain

Strong, rock

Of the earth

Proud and righteous

Against hard winds

And Malala is an idea

That knowledge is greater

Than fear or tyranny

She, too

Is proud and righteous

Against hard winds

Against fear

And ignorance

A girl

As fierce as a woman warrior

As strong as a mountain

The bullet only set her free

Malala’s lesson shows us

That in the end

Good will always triumph

Over evil

And if good

Has yet to triumph

Then this is not the end

In moments of doubt

Moments of fear

Look to the mountain for strength

Look to Malala

Fear nothing

No grudges, no dead weight. This is a new day and I hope it is a fine day for everyone. May my choices be merciful and may your choices be your own.

Rolling Stones - JUST YOUR FOOL

Follow your inner moonlight; don't hide the madness.

Trying to define yourself is like trying to bite your own teeth.
