There are times when we have to pause and think about what we can celebrate in the journey to overcome obstacles and injustices. And although it has been a few days already since this positive occasion, I still want to share this: the release of Aung San Suu Kyi.
If anyone knows about a light at the end of the tunnel, it must be her. She has been under house arrest or in detention for 15 of the last 21 years. And while this is a long-awaited positive event for her supporters in Burma/Myanmar and worldwide, it does not remove the injustice of her imprisonment or other political prisoners. But it is an event that will hopefully fuel more steps in the right direction to political freedom and actions of conscience in the world.
