Kurdish Mobilization for the Murdered Girl
Our violence against each other is destroying humankind. Women deserve equal respect and honor as human beings who give birth to all life.
Dunya
A few days ago the horrifying news about a young girl who was the victim of a honourkilling in Dohuk in Northern Kurdistan spread over the world. Dunya, a 15-year-old girl who was in an arranged marriage with a 45-year-old man, according to kurdishrights.org his name was Sleman Ziad Younis, had been killed by him and the photos of her mutilated body filled the internet.
These news are unfortunately not rare in Kurdistan. Violence against women is a wide spread phenomenon – I dare saying this as I have worked with women’s rights issues in the region – and many of these crimes are swept under the rug and forgotten. Only in 2011 domestic violence became illegal in Kurdistan and even though this legal change marked a great step forward, the process of actually implementing the law and change attitudes is very long, as always when a society is in a process…

You are a Crystal Being…for Stephanie
Whirlwind
You are a crystal being
held tenderly by a loving God
Out of Love you were fashioned
Out of Love you grew
Out of Love you are
In your darkest moments
Sit quietly and return to your Center
and bask in the LOVE of God
All that surrounds us
is illusion
We exist only in LOVE
It is in LOVE that we find ourselves
In the depth of the notes
Your music rings out the true you
crystalline quarter notes
staccato plays…carrying you home
to the restful Love…
You are a Crystal Being
Held tenderly by a Loving God
Wind Talk
Banff region of Alberta, Canada
the fragility of who we are
hangs in the shadows of our feelings
as life urges us to hang on…
walking among the trees
the wind whistles serenity
and somewhere hope is in the mist–
the climb is steep…
all around are beings
who shout us down
even saying, “you don’t belong”
telling us to eliminate ourselves
telling us we are horrible and worse…
that we are nothing…
that we meant nothing…
that we are inferior to who they are…
that we don’t quite measure up…to their idea of perfection…
that we are not worthy of love…
that we are not worthy of life–
pain is intense as we chew the words flung at us–
then we need to go deep into the stillness inside
and listen to the LOVE from where we came
and be at home in that peace…
be still in the heart of GOD…
be still and know it is there that we are…
be still and know we are at home with GOD…
and listen…
