Ground Zero Mosque

Dearest New Yorkers,

As an Afghan American I will feel such a tremendous sense of healing when this center is built. New York city is my favorite city in the whole world. I have such a deep deep love for your city. I truly believe that the building of this mosque at ground zero will bring about peace and harmony. It will continue our tradition as a nation that embraces all religions and races equally. It will be such a noble act of tolerance and forgiveness. 9/11 completely changed my life. It was a catalyst for all of the art that I have made since that day.

with love,

"We Alone" by Alice Walker... this poem is so beautiful and so timely

We Alone

We alone can devalue gold
by not caring
if it falls or rises in the marketplace.
Wherever there is gold
there is a chain, you know,
and if your chain
is gold
so much the worse
for you.

Feathers, shells
and seas-shaped stones
are all as rare.

This could be our revolution:
To love what is plentiful
as much
as what is scarce.

Alice Walker

For NEDA.

my beautiful cousin Leyla from HEARTSREVOLUTION posted this on her site. Coincidentally, my friend and hero Reza is in the film. and another one of my heros, Shohreh, is narrating the film. Neda was the woman who was killed during the Iranian elections. I am so moved by her courage. I feel so blessed that our world has human beings like Neda in it. Please take an hour of your day to watch this powerful film.
