Neda's Moment

Please note: I find the death photos of Neda too sad, thus there are no violent images in this video. In fact, there is only one image: an original piece by me based on a photo harvested from the Internet.

God works in mysterious ways. Some say Neda wasn't directly involved in Iran's protest movement. She was a beautiful young Iranian woman who loved philosophy, music and poetry by Rumi and Robert Frost. Neda dreamed of a peace-filled world where all people would live in freedom, without fear. A bullet fired on a Tehran street instantaneously created an international symbol for justice and human rights -- Neda. Be the change you wish to see in the world. I am Neda. Are you?

Acceptance: Robert Frost

When the spent sun throws up its rays on cloud
And goes down burning into the gulf below,
No voice in nature is heard to cry aloud
At what has happened. Birds, at least, must know
It is the change to darkness in the sky.
Murmuring something quiet in her breast,
One bird begins to close a faded eye;
Or overtaken too far from his nest,
Hurrying low above the grove, some waif
Swoops just in time to his remembered tree.
At most he thinks or twitters softly, "Safe!
Now let the night be dark for all of me.
Let the night be too dark for me to see
Into the future. Let what will be, be."
