This is 2011 and I’m sitting here to blog about another World AIDS Days event… Amazing how the years roll on, they get eaten up like raspberry! That’s beside the point, anyhow. The point is, we have lost lives to this fight and I am excited about that. Yes, excited because the losses have altogether made us a stronger and a more formidable force, a more jubilant team of soldiers. Soldiering on against the monster with jubilation and hope. Yes the lost lives have put smiles of expectancy on our faces rather than tears of pain; they have made our once sore-red eyes burst bright and as the day. They have been some of the truest of inspirations of our time.
At first we sobbed sore, we burnt precious time in rags of fruitless emotions. Then came this new dawn, this great awakening that saw us spring to action. Today, only a couple years past, we have replaced the mourns with soft smiles and our faces have been made more beautiful. You know, the smiles have a way of prolonging our days! Again that’s beside the point, I pray you get the real point. Looking into our eyes, it’s just conspicuous: You either lock the virus in or lock it out. No passing it on, no receiving it. Non-discrimination and universal access to healthcare remain invaluable. Get more on World AIDS Day here.
Now as my fingers are getting off the keyboard and gripping the Red Ribbon, just one question for you: How do you want to spend your World AIDS Day 2011?
