Yesterday! Yesterday matters. It is the brick on which today's roof is founded. I did not see the moon- mainly because I was too lost in my reading world that when I viewed the cloud-saturated sky, there were no even visible stars. I searched for the moon at twelve and at two in the night. I had forgot that early life of a moon does not go past midnight.

Abdul, the son of soil from Kenamkemer, Lodwar in Kenya could not do his brother a diservice by failing to take a snap. That is how interests and friendship is formed. I can see beyond the bright white spot. I see goodness. It is goodness that we live for. I see willingness in a brother. Oh Jerusalem, come quick.

I am looking forward to today's experience. Do you?
