Tao Te Ching: Verse 4
The Tao is like an empty bowl,
yet it may be used
without ever needing to be filled.
It is the deep and unfathomable
source of the ten thousand things.Blunt the sharpness.
Untie the knot.
Soften the glare.
Settle with the dust.It is hidden deep yet ever present.
I do not know whose child it is.
It existed before the common ancestor.

The slow-motion disaster of the food crisis in the Horn of Africa is truly horrifying. Last Wednesday the United Nations declared a famine in two large regions of Somalia; 3.7 million people, nearly half the country’s population, are affected. The crisis is larger than just Somalia. Right now the devastating drought in the region means that more than 11 million people need food aid across Kenya, Somalia and Ethiopia.
You can help by making a contribution through the Tumblr Dashboard or on the Somalia tag page, and we’ll match your support up to $10,000. Proceeds will go to the United Nations World Food Programme.If I could donate, I really would. This is heartbreaking.
Please people, if you have the funds to donate, please do.

"Somalia, I cried today.
I saw you falling face down,
And then dragged away.
And when I told the world,
None would pad an eye.
They say since you know how to kill,
You should learn to die."
