🌹 Happy 81, Daw Suu 🌹

I’ve found more warmth, more wholehearted love, more tenderness, more courage, and more caring concern among my people, as we hope together, we suffer together and struggle together, than anywhere else in the world Aung San Suu Kyi Letter from Burma (1997)

It is easy enough for people who are well off to sing of poverty. 

We who have gone through it have no sentimental illusions. 

“The worm in the ground knows every tooth of the harrow. The butterfly above preaches patience.” 

Poverty, to say the least, is very uncomfortable.
