A Tiny Ripple of Hope


It is from numberless diverse acts of courage and belief that human history is shaped. Each time a man stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope, and crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and daring, those ripples build a current that can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance.
Robert F. Kennedy



I've been watching the events in Iran unfold in the past 48 hours, and I see such a hunger, a thirst for change, a longing, really, for Iranians to come together and make their country a true democracy. I will pray for these people, many of them young idealists who are scared but believe. This young man is sharing the experience with many of us on Twitter, and I hope, I pray for these young "revolutionaries" that they can affect change.

We are with you!
