I know I am so very “full” with my memories and feelings of the time spent with Mustafa and Ahmed. I have heard from so many others of the impact that Mustafa and Ahmed had on them, as well. Several of us were thinking that it would be great/important to chronicle our community’s thoughts/feelings/impressions, etc. This is a gift to us, to Mustafa and his family, as well as a potentially powerful peace compilation.

I would like to invite ALL interested in writing about their experience/feelings – whatever ways you were impacted by Mustafa and Ahmed – from close or from afar – to send your thoughts to me and I will work with a few others to put it together and will then send out an electronic compilation.

There is no need to feel like an accomplished writer – don’t feel shy. The voice of our hearts is very powerful. So, short or long, poetry or just random thoughts, special photos, glimpses, drawings – whatever you’d like to have included – with your name or anonymously – PLEASE send to me at rofo@teleport.com . Or call, if you’d rather mail a hard copy. I will put it all together and distribute. Write in English or in Arabic (or in any other language of comfort to you) – we will arrange to translate into both English and Arabic so Ahmed and Mustafa will have our writings as well.

I really encourage each of us to take a little space in this time (while it is still so fresh) and jot down some thoughts, or whatever way you like to hold important memories close.

Thanks for participating – on whatever level – to this amazing peace community.
