Last FRIDAY, 11/2/11, A Blessed Palindrome. EGYPT Celebrated DAY OF THE MARTYRS.

from: BLOG GANZEER

"Dirty politics and power struggles aside, there are innocent people who died over the course of Egypt's current revolution. These people died because they could see something most of us could not see. They died because they could see Egypt soaring high in a place of dignity and respect. . . .

Today is Day of the Martyrs. . . . Today I will go out with my people and try to make true the beautiful vision these martyrs died for. Because that's what all this is about."

"I can't tell you how every Egyptian feels today. 

We have been able to restore our humanity ...
