lana factor...

Continuing from our conversation from yester, I am pulling from amazing Iraqi bloggers and their hope and inspiration they offer.

As a recap, from http://iraqblogcount.blogspot.com/ there are bloggers in and from Iraq that are sharing in our quest to move humanity forward to a thoughtful and loving level. This next blogger has a heart of gold, platinum actually, for it is pure, preserves and transcends all things. She is rock solid. At http://mymanydreams.blogspot.com/ you will encounter the

…lana factor: compassionate, articulate thoughts of a complex yet imploring nature that inspires and challenges us all

making us realize that we have no excuse but to become better people.

Her gratuity is melting—she has only studied English for 3 years, yet at her tender age of 13 years one would never even realize that English is probably her third and youngest language. She provokes you to think beyond your borders, whether they are physical or spiritual, to see things in a worldly perspective and how each facet of humanity needs consideration, thoughtfulness and embracing.

To see such gentility makes my heart leap. This young lady is 13! And she is dedicated to sharing her thoughts and innocence to us all. Speaking of innocence, it is easy for some to dismiss her observations as secondary to that innocence, however it is that very thing we need in this world to regain our emotional quotient as we grow older, for it is a basic pillar that we should not abandon. Once we lose her perspective we shall begin to falter.

On the flip—what if we do not have a lana factor? How do we start to find one, and, what if we are not in a place where we can accept it? Some possibly may not designed to have a lana factor, and therefore could it be so, for we need that antithesis to see the greater good?

Please read and comment on her blog, in the most loving and upholding of ways. I know the country in which she now lives, and it is not easy at times. For her to have such a bright spirit is inspiring, and if I could even aspire to 10% of her energy, I am a better person indeed.

question: what is your lana factor?
