4th of May; another day where moms cry.
On de site of Ted.com I listened to the talk of Phyllis Rodriguez and Aicha el-Wafi .
Two moms who carry grief and longing for their child.
Rodriguez' son was killed in the World Trade Center attacks on September 11, 2001; El-Wafi's son Zacarias Moussaoui was convicted of a role in those attacks and is serving a life sentence.
These moms joined hands and are pleading to end the ways of violence.
On each 4th day in May, at 20.00 hrs in Holland we remember the death.
During 2 minutes of silence we remember all who died due to reasons of war.
We remember those who died as victim or liberator.
But there is another group too.
The group of ‘grown up children’ who set their deeds as well, causing havoc and death.
They too were or are some one’s child; they too had or have moms mourning them.
Every moment 'children' act.
Please ‘children’ be aware of the voice of your heart; be aware what thoughts of anger, envy and hatred can result into. Please before you act listen to the voice of your soul.
A child is born
A mom smiles
A child cries
A mom responds
A child needs
A mom gives
A child acts
A mom adjusts
A child grows up
A mom worries
A child dies
Moms cry.
