“Let us dream of tomorrow where we can truly love from the soul, 

and know love as the ultimate truth at the heart of all creation.”

Michael Jackson

In the 5 years since Michael's passing people (younger fans and people outside the fan base) have discovered or re-discovered his talent and the beauty in his work. His legacy as an amazing artist, musician, entertainer, humanitarian is less clouded by hate-noise.
A lot of tributes have poured in showing how much Michael influenced people from may fields not just musicians.
For me today, the most impressive (and my source of comfort)  is the amazing energy that comes from the MJ family - the core fan base - that is carrying on the legacy of love.

And this is a blessing.

"Love is important, to love each other. We're all one. That's the message."
Michael Jackson

... "Through my joy and my sorrow,
In the promise of another tomorrow,
I'll never let you part -
For You're Always In My Heart."

June 20 - World Refugee Day

For the first time since World War II, the number of forced displaced people as a result of conflicts and persecution has surpassed 50 million.

51.2 million refugees at the end of 2013, 6 million more than in the previous year.

The UNHCR report, presented yesterday in Geneva, underlines the human tragedy caused by war.

The data shows that for the past 20 years the number of people forcefully displaced has not dropped under 30+ million.

The Syrian war is the main factor of the 6 million increase in the number of refugees since 2012, showing the full extension of the tragedy caused by the violence.

During 2013, 32,200 people per day were forced to leave their homes and search for protection in other parts of their countries or abroad.

25,300 asylum applications were lodged in 2013 by unaccompanied or separated children in 77 countries.

 

50% of the refugees in 2013 were children under the age of 18
