 Years ago when I first read this post and saw this video clip of a musician from Iraq who played and moved to tears soldiers in the very ground where a major bomb had exploded … it moved me deeply and  it moves me beyond words still.

Salute to the Power of Human Spirit.

Strength to defy & dare destiny in the face

Of danger destruction and devastation …

Comes from a deeper conviction that creates 

Courage to rise beyond catastrophes …

The heart has the capacity to deal

with almost anything … as that is how our life is 

wired to cope and heal.

Expressing through Arts is a power within us.

In empathy with care compassion

It is an act of kindness in realization of the oneness.

That what hurts you is actually eventually hurting me …

Your pain is my pain

In conscious awareness

I can help you heal

Your troubles away in faith

And hope for a better tomorrow for us all.
