For the past week, the streets have been quiet. the police presence is still felt on the streets, though less. but as everyone has been saying, things have changed. fortunately people are finding more and more ways to participate in acts of civil disobedience. there is a lot stirring underground so underneath the heavy cloud of depression and hopelessness, there is creativity being born. i am so proud of my iranian brothers and sisters. this is a true revolution of thought. we might not win in the political arena, but the evolution of consciousness and thought is unstoppable. i am so inspired by what the young people of iran are doing. i have attached two videos of songs made by iranian performers. the first one is from iran the second from america. i am also equally inspired by the amount of support that has poured out for the iranian people. it is such a beautiful thing. yes, with every passing day, i begin to believe more and more how things have changed.
