a letter to my friend
Posted: May 27th, 2005, 9:12 am
Dear Ash,
I just read a news report of a suicide bombing in Islamabad. I am not sure how close you are to that City, but I am praying for the safety of you and your family and friends.
I am also praying for those who have died and were injured and their families. In the news report I read, there was a young boy being carried from the shrine who had been physically injured... But I also think of the injuries to his soul -- how he would look upon me if he saw my blonde hair and blue eyes -- how this experience and others he has make him believe that the people in the West are monsters.
Ash, it is so important for people like us to change the world through our friendship... through collective action. We must not allow those terrible greedy souls who are in power with their war machines, control us by having us hate each other.
We are all sisters and brothers, and the best way for us to defeat the REAL enemy is for us to love one another despite what they would have us believe about each other.
Blessings Ash,
Namaste and Dohiya (peace)
Your friend,
Janette (Whitebird Sings)
