I’m not bulletproof, but I have withstood the battering ram of adversity, the blinding darkness of despair, the mortar attack of anguish, the piercing sting of defeat, and the searing heat of hopelessness! I’m not bulletproof, but I stand Strong!!

Sign part I
Is it a sign when you andare trying to travel 1200 miles to attenflightd your eldest brother’s funeral your flight is cancelled the night before due to the snow? Is it a sign that you reschedule your travels to a state 2 hours drivscratchye away and it is already 9pm at night and you haven’t eaten all day, have a scratchy throat and feel like death warmed over? Is it a sign that in your paranoia you then cancel the flight that is 2 hours away because you fear the storm will stop its departure also? Is it a sign that you reschedule yet again to a state 5 hours away? Is it a sign that you on less than 3 hours sleep board your flight, under go 2 turns at de icing only to be told after sitting on the runway for 3 hours that the winds are now too strong to take off? Is it a sign that on your return to the terminal you are told under some new laws passengers must deplane after 3 hours of sitting on the runway?

What place is this where the rich dine in splendor while the poor are merely small vendors?
Where babies cry, children die, and women sigh?
Where the earth outpours, the winds roar, fires soar, and the ocean wages war?
This place is earth, our majestic island home!
So let us all do our part to ensure that it continues to bloom!!!

Hope
Taste like a glass of cool water, after an exhausting day.
Smells like fresh bread baking early in the morning.
Feels like a warm hug, after distressing news.
Looks like the face of a newborn baby, after the long nine months wait.
Sounds like the sound of the ocean waves during a sunset stroll on the beach.
