Over the weekend I had a dream--well a nightmare really. I dreamt I was driving down the interstate, the sky was turning black, and I looked in my rearview mirror to see several cars crash and go up in a flaming explosion. I looked back up into the sky through my windshield to see jets dropping bombs. My only thought was, "This is it. It's finally happening." When I awoke, I couldn't help but think about the fact that visions like this are all too real for millions of people around the world.
The Civil War in Syria is devastating to learn about. They discuss Syrian refugees on NPR daily and share stories that leave you in shock. The wildest thing to me about the hundreds of thousands of displaced Syrians being relocated is that the majority of Americans don't want them here. WHAT?
Can you imagine if my dream was reality? Can you imagine if the United States became a warzone and we were dying by the thousands and scrambling through the chaos to get somewhere safe? Can you imagine if other countries were turning us away?
Think about it.
Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion, too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace...
-John Lennon
