As I close my eyes and drift away to a land where there is love, health, peace, and blessings. I wanted to take the time to think and reflect. These thoughts remind me of the Biblical and Quranic texts, where there are verses that describe where the prophets used to climb high in the mountains, or go into caves (The Cave, Surah Kafh- 18:10) to seek refuge, peace, or be at a point of oneness with God. Sometimes they would go away for a while, and return when they felt ready to do so. In the same sense, present and future generations need a sheltered, protected space where they can explore who they are, learn, grow, develop, nurture the self and so on. So that when they are in the public domain they are able to speak up, defend and protect themselves. Dedication: These thoughts are dedicated to the voices of youth, and to the Humboldt Broncos Hockey Community where lives were lost and injuries sustained. Thank you for the courage that you have shown to follow your dreams. United Through Sport. We send our love, prayer and condolences to the families, the Hockey and Humbolt Broncos community.

"Knowledge is seen as a key human resource ... the quality of a country's education and research or knowledge production becomes a yardstick for it's success within a global economy. ... Academic freedom is implicit to the health of the nation as a questioning conscience; to lose it would threaten civilized society. It is a mechanism for plurality of criticism that should be welcomed." (Locker, 2009) My thoughts to share with love & kindness! :)

It only seems like yesterday that the Astros made history as the MLB World Series Champions, and today they are playing their first game back home in Houston. Whatever happens this season, I still don't think that we've had enough time to relish the victory, which is why you will always be my World Champions HOUSTON. Good Luck to you and all the teams that play in the American Baseball League!!! :)As I close my eyes and drift away to a land where there is love, health, peace, and blessings. I wanted to take the time to think and reflect. Take the example of Israel for instance - Israel has an army. Palestine does not have a formal army. So the power imbalance becomes visible. There is a powerful majority who is able to attack innocent civilians instantly. But Palestinian's who are living in the West-Bank and Gaza were forced out of Israel, because of how the land was divided. They were forced out, and Israel was falsely given rights, and claims to the majority of the land. So it has become a battle between Jews (Arab Jews included), and Palestinian Muslims (Palestinian Jews included). Israel has been protected for far too long, as wealthy nations and even the United Nations have kept quiet for far too long. Now I'm not saying that no one is erroneous on each side, because they are. But what I am saying is that Israel uses it's power to attack the vulnerable, and there are questions surrounding human rights. Is it a wonder that Palestinian occupied territory, and people would defend themselves with forming their own type of army that is known as Hamas? Or weaponry, rockets, women, men, and children protesting their rights? From a historical and present lens we can ask: Did it make sense to create divisions when really the land belongs to the people of Jesus, Moses, and Muhammad? And as it does truly belongs to them, I am sure they would have allowed others who don't belong to any of their faiths to live amongst them. May we strive to reach understanding and points for peace and love. My thoughts to share with love & kindness.
