Rania is not a name I will forget in a hurry. A friend’s tweet this morning pointed me in the direction of The Guardian.
Yesterday I wrote about ‘healing the world that touches you, that’s around you.’ That touching can and must include any and all means of communication that might open human hearts too quick to judge the intentions of millions of this world’s displaced people.
Made with immense courage, dignity and good humour by a twenty-year old young woman, necessarily fleeing the war zone she still calls ‘home’, may this film open hearts and minds; may a deeper compassion be shaped in the hearts and lives of humankind the world over.
Wall-construction needs to involve the rebuilding of shattered homes. All talk of ‘refugees’ needs to be set in the context, the possibility even, of how it might be for any of us were tables to be turned. Could I pack my life and loves into a small rucksack and head off, smiling and gutsy, to I know not where?
Rania. Ayman. Christopher Columbus. Let me not forget their names!

One arguably does what circumstances dictate. My ardent prayer is the elimination of circumstance such as this. To feed, clothe and adequately shelter all those who are without security and peace. When do we stop repeating the worst parts of history…

Thanks Mimi. Yes, indeed. How can we not recognise the courage and dignity in our fellows when faced with images and real-life stories such as these? xx
