Revolutions, when they happen, are an amazing event. The momentum of a feeling turned cause and finally movement is a great manifestation of our humanity.
Two years ago we watched students in Iran stand up against a corrupt and brutal government. We all were frustrated when their courage didn’t meet with success, when they became victims instead of victorious.
But in the end, their voices reverberated in the hearts of many and helped to unite people across the region to stand up against suppression. How wonderful would it be if what happened in these past weeks across the North of Africa would travel like a tsunami accross the rest of the continent where brutality of a few limits the life perspectives of so many.

Exactly. I wrote a poem about this yesterday morning as I listened to more news about Bahrain and how decidedly less civil that government is behaving than did even the dictatorship in Egypt.
Waves are beautfiul, destructive, elegant, ferocious, all in one.
