hotel rwanda

yesterday i watched the movie hotel rwanda, to learn about what lead to the crimes against women in the congo at the hands of cowards hiding in the jungles. i learned of a million plus holocaust... hapening in mid 90's, in my lifetime. i wonder why the world didn't cry out? why did we gawk at the images on the evening news and continue eating our TV dinners? i am anxious when i feel this helpless.... and insignificant. and am in awe how quick history is repeated.. a new shame for each generation? i'm a fierce wind-walking-woman when i wanna be. but right now i want my blankee with the satin edges, and i wanna snuggle with this blind faith of mine.... that there is more good in mankind than there is evil...

my heart for the women in the congo.
my prayers for the people of london.
