Other Places

Was glancing in my journal of 15 years ago and came upon this for 23 July, 2004:

More on Darfur on this morning's news, before I set off to work. A child's funeral. Women asked to raise their fingers to indicate how many family members have recently died.

Struck me that I'm not at all sure how the situation in South Sudan has played out over the years. Embarrassed not to know.

Thinking now of what's going on now in Hong Kong, and the possibilities 15 years hence. More cause for deep concern.

Feel blessed to be where I am, but that's no excuse for indifference.
