Those Ideas Still Remain
"It's not a war on terror as the American government has gone out of its way to suggest, but it's actually a battle of ideas.”
~ Ed Husain
Pray without Ceasing
Make the brushing of your hair
a prayer, every strand its own voice,
singing in the choir on your head.
As you wash your face, the water slipping
through your fingers, a prayer: Water,
softest thing on earth, gentleness
that wears away rock.
~ Ellen Bass
