Don't let the bed bugs bite...

We all hate mosquitoes and other similar pests. Most of us in the western hemisphere don't worry about contracting malaria from a mosquito bite. But in Africa, malaria is a leading cause of death of children. It kills nearly one million children each year and every day 3,000 children die from the disease.

NothingButNets.net is a campaign to save lives by preventing malaria. By donating only $10, you can purchase an anti-malaria bed net.

Muslims in China...

The following documentary is one of the most eye opening, fascinating pieces I've seen. The struggles our Muslim brothers and sisters in China endure because of their ethnicity and religion is wrong. I count my blessings and say 'Alhamdulilah' for the easy life that I had growing up in a tolerant society.
Learn about the suppressed Chinese Muslims called the Uighurs (pronounced weegir)...

May God bless these people and the oppressed everywhere.

Moonset

Its majestic presence in the western sky
beckons the new day to pursue it.

The flame of its yellow glow warms me in the cool pre-autumn air,
as it presses against the the pale blue canvas of the dawn.

The purple sliver of night is in the distance
as the moon chases the darkness away.

Sweet slumber of the masses, and dreams sprinkled by the stars
are gathered in the moon's embrace...
As the magical golden dream catcher disappears over the horizon.

Image and writing do not do justice to the image etched in my mind.

A little bit of American politics....

Some insight in the twisted American political and media landscape.



And even some Republicans confuse John McCain with lameduck President Bush.



Lastly, thank you Tina Fey and Amy Poehler.

At First Light

As the sun breaks the inky black sky,
it shines a path of beautiful promises.

Promises that echo
in all the things the golden rays caress.

Caresses so warm and inviting
that allows a life to love.

A love so embracing
that forces darkness and hate to hope.

Hopes so inspiring
it lets the songbirds sing.

Songs so arousing
it paints the colors of a wonderful world.

And yet in this wonderful world,
I dream of such a picture...

A picture of unequivocal splendor
that I thought only existed in my deepest realms of my imagination.
