Dear Egypt,

January 29, 2011

I was shocked to realize that I know nothing about you except for the most obvious cliches.

A pyramid.

 

I don’t understand what’s going in your country right now. I am ignorant and poorly informed and hopelessly culturally uneducated.

*flail*

Please be well. Figure it out soon, okay?

    Exactly, Wendy!

    One thing I’ve done to minimize stress is to think, act, buy local – and to mostly ignore the news. But when I heard about Egypt this morning, I thought, “oh, that can’t be good.”

    Egypt should join you and Arizona for pie.

    Apparently they shut off all their internet though so… Egypt might not get your virtual flower. 😦

    I really like this post, simple but with so much meaning.

    I, too, haven’t followed the news very closely.

    Then this morning I read a detailed article about the unrest not only in Egypt but across most of northern Africa. How shocking… The world needs more flower-givers, I think.

    I love love LOVE this. Looooooooooooove.

    Someone mentioned that they might not get your virtual flower, but I have it on good authority that they are still live- otherwise they wouldn’t still be tweeting.
