August 22, 2020
It is Saturday evening. A provocative yet silent sky. A quite den.
In the tome that records the life of homo sapiens, what might be written about the week ending today?
- Covid pandemic has now claimed 800,000 lives.
- Fires in California have torched nearly one million acres, a larger area than Rhode Island.
- Tropical storm Marco and Tropical storm Laura are headed to the Florida mainland.
- An enormous explosion in Beirut, Lebanon claimed the lives of many Syrian refugees.
- Many Belarus citizens are protesting the recent election of Alexander Lukashenko.
- The 59 refugee camps recognized by the UNRWA host 1.5 million refugees in Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, the West Bank and the Gaza Strip.
I have not been able to get statistics on the number of people on earth today who reached the highest fulfilment of their lives,
nor the number of people who bestowed grace on their neighbors.
