Apprehensive

A bit of excitement, apprehension and uncertainty all mixed together. Although I have done volunteer work in the past, never have I led a group of bright eyed, eager students in such an endeavor. I know frustration will be a constant. Activism is no easy task. Already I am haunted by the ghosts of reality. Children nestled under their dispossessed mother's arms, animals weakened by malnutrition and hunger, diseased middle aged men crawling to their medicine cabinet for just one more pill.

These people are part of our community yet oftentimes they are ignored. They are of the same blood, bone structure and soul. They have the same dreams, goals and aspirations. We are all one. We all hurt. We all experience pain. While we cannot end the pain, we can help it subside. If only just a little. That is operation peace, love and harmony!!
