Trains. They just keep moving. They come and go. To some people getting in that train is the most important thing. They need that train to get to a big rent : a funeral, a wedding perhaps. For other it marks the start of a journey. They are are just waiting to see where life takes them. What the next Adventure holds. For some they are just another passing moment while they wait for the next big thing. They just want the train after or maybe the train after that. They discount that train because it isn't the one they need.
Trains. Or life.
The past few weeks have shown us that life is something that can come and go in an instant. The last ew weeks have shown us that life can change quicker than we could ever imagine. Life. What is it for?
For the past few years two words kept coming to me in prayers. Love and unity. They would burn in the back of eyes when I closed them and asked for guidance. That live is the most important thing. That love is all that mattered.
I asked what I was meant to do? The answer was love. When I asked for forgiveness for actions the answer was "but you loved".
God loved. He loves. He loves us more than we are capable of loving anyone. He lives a like a father, he loves us like a creator, he lives us like a soulmate, he lived I like a teacher, he loves u like ourselves. He loves us.
The second word unity came to me In a weird prayer session back in university. I was desperate for my purpose, for an answer. Since then I have tried to benefit discriminate and to speak out in defence of others. Just because they are the other.
The past two weeks have been horrendous. We have seen children slain, mothers slain, fathers slain, innocent people slain. They loved and many injured talk of the importance of love.
But we have seen so much more than that. We have seen unity. We saw rooms being opened to strangers. We saw taxi drivers giving free rides. We saw restaurants giving free food. We saw people hugging others of all faiths. We saw people run to the defence of men and women. We saw police fighting off attackers with no weapons other than their bravery.
We have seen love. We have seen people giving their lives for others. We have seen nurses and cities working for free. We have seen families crying out in pain for their lived ones. We have seen pop stars coming out to show support. We have seen the human race coming out in support.
Love and unity.
They have been abundant.
These terrorists say their actions are for Allah. Let's show them what God or Allah truly stands for. Love and unity forever
