Two different stories this week, two different voyages.Firstly the news that the couple at the heart of the 1,000 days at sea are now parents, with the birth of a baby boy to Soayna - which more than explains the decision to leave the boat earlier this year. Many congratulations to both!
Of course if this had been a real journey to Mars then we would have our first space baby!
The other trip is more serious - to sail to Gaza to bring much needed supplies and to raise awareness of the Nakba and the decades of occupation and oppression of the Palestinians.
Both journeys have a desire to more than just watch the world but to in some form or other change it and for the better. And that - despite those that would scoff both - I respect.
*grn* At first I thought it said they'd had a baby at sea! (that would be a rather scary experience!)
ReplyDeleteI haven't read a lot about the situation in Gaza but this has prompted me to do some researching/ thinking.
Changing the world for the better is a worthy aspiration, I think we need more people dedicated to that goal.
They were at sea together for many months - all those romantic sunsets..... :)
ReplyDeleteI think many people would like to change things for their better - if they knew what they could do.
Though sometimes the problems is lack of knowledge, particular regarding events in that part of the world.
