My daughter and I went to catch the sun set on the Common, and to our surprise, there was a moomn rise, too, the wolf moon, the largest in the year.

Whwn we got home, there was an email from a friend on a cruise, sharing the picture offshore of lights in tge sky, and plans for the annual fundraiser she dies every year for the Foodbank in Cirencester. The docume tary on TV 'a year in space' showed just how beautiful 'darkness' can be, when you look at it from a different place. Where there is light, there is always hope. ALWAYS

Day 22- I aspire (4)- Poem

lindseyvaservices — 2026-02-12 11:37:59 UTC

We gather at the Ukrainian Centre,

flying planes of hope.

From Somalia, Sudan, Kurdistan,

Afghanistan, Eritrea, Vietnam—

we are here,

together.

We share,

I am from…

That means:

I am strong.

I am kind.

I am a strong girl.

I am a winner.

I love music.

The Greatest Showman.

Yungblud.

I love to dance.

I love to move.

I look out over the water,

look out, take it in.

I am a fresh thinker.

When there were no pictures,

nothing to represent us,

we drew what mattered.

I will be a barber—

hands steady,

listening carefully.

I can dream new spaces,

design places people can belong.

I will be an architect.

We help each other.

We translate.

We listen.

We are strong.

We love trees.

Laughter.

Applause.

Support.

We come from somewhere.

Together,

we can become.
