    Every word and image inspired me. It also reminded me that the Syrian war and refugee crisis is not over... For those of us who have never seen the face of war first hand it is impossible to comprehend what the word casualties actually covers - but to survive the loss of your mother and siblings and to be severely injured physically and yet to show the resilience of the human spirit and to find the emotional - mental - and spiritual strength to have hope for a future and to find gratitude in what one has - it is humbling.

    I am glad Ibraheem's father is there for him. I wonder who is there to support his father. He, too, must be filled with grief. Perhaps Ibraheem is there for his father.

    The dignity and awesome courage demonstrated by Ibraheem, his father, and his school classmates cannot but humble us, we who too often turn a blind eye to the suffering that results when we overidentify with privilege in place of compassion. Thank you for such a poignant, bittersweet reminder of the vast range of behavior that we humans are capable of. It all comes down to being conscious of our Inter-beingness.

    When I say "I understand." Do I really understand this grief? Do not know, intense pain in the heart is so unique.

    War is not the answer, never was, never will be. May Ibraheem and all innocent victims thrive in spite of their greedy and misguided oppressors.
