In the coming hours, a new day begins in Iran, and the world is watching. Will it be a day when the voices of the people are heard? Will it be a day that brings peace and acceptance, or one that continues to push the tides of change. Does history tell us that those tremoring voices can no longer be silenced, and are ready to shout from the rooftops?
This video brought chills through my body and stilled my heart. (Thank you to the friends who shared it with me.)
Prayers are with those who wake up in Iran today.

We worry about our little problems and they are nothing compared to what others face. We worry about ourselves when our brothers and sisters around the world are crying. We turn on the television and fall asleep…we ignore because the cost is not immediate. The truth is – it is immediate. A single day matters. A single voice wavering on a video matters.
Things must change….
Very touching post

Dear Mallika
Thanks so much for putting this video here. Can there be a poetry much more sensitive than this which includes the pain of human suffering. Is there something we can do about it? I do not know whose voice is that, who is the person praying, but I really wonder whether her voice ever reaches to her fellow men and women, that one person who feels like that shares the mutual feelings with many others. Really very painful. My prayers are with Iran today. I hope more and more people the way as this woman who shares her prayers…I hope more and more people realize that peace and love are so important.

I'd like to thank drudgereport.com for observing the Supreme Council and Ayatollah Khamenei's news blackout on Iranian protests in the past few days.
Fascinating that a website so vociferously opposed to the dangers of Iran's nuclear posturing (and its clear threat to Israel) should post nearly nothing on this watershed event, ignoring change that could ensure security throughout the entire Middle East. The event was mentioned in passing at the bottom of its third column.
Recall John' McCain's "bomb bomb bomb Iran," quip, as though indiscriminately killing Iran's population was the only real solution. Google "plantation owners tech" to get an idea of the ingredients in this noxious recipe, this inciting natives to kill each other to expel their frustrations, instead of really talking about what can be done to advance humanity. In fact, God forbid that people should actually talk.
Matt Drudge's strict observation of the Ayatollah's news blackout makes you wonder if we've both been played, Iranians, Americans, by inflamatory rhetoric of those cynically using danger as a wedge issue by those determined to continue to cloak themselves in the respectability of public religious observation.
My heart goes out to all those in Iran who are so intent on showing Iran's own George W. Bush the exit door. If we can do it, they certainly can, too. As I've said elsewhere, may their version of W float away on a sea of trash.
I am sending protesters in Tehran love and prayers. My God's light shine upon them in their endeavors.
Many thanks for this moving post. This is such an important way to connect with others; hearing the fervent prayers and emotions of another human, so far away geographically yet linked through human emotions and the longing for freedom and peace.
In my heart, I cheer for the expression of that longing that is bursting on Iran's streets. With my Soul, I hope and envision the realization of their freedom.
In Peace, Love

This made my night stand still for several moments with sadness. When will we realize globally that we are all praying to the same god, no matter whichever name we use? When we do come to that understanding, then there should be no more war. Ignorance breeds fear, fear breeds hatred, and hatred breeds war.
peace & love,

I send all my love to them
