Hope for Egypt

Hope and change are hard-fought things.

Michelle Obama, American First Lady

Although the revolution is not over and difficult times surely lie ahead for my beloved Egypt, I thank God that today's marking of the revolution's anniversary, by a multitude representing every shade of opinion, went off without violence. The hope that I had on February 18th last year, when I took this photo, has waned but days like today keep the flicker alive. This little fellow deserves it.
