There is a phrase that says we live in an ill divided world. The truth is that illness must affect millions upon millions of people all over the world. However there is nothing more moving than to stand with a group of people who are suffering from leprosy and see in their eyes the shear bravery that drives them on. When they come and stand or even kneel before you and ask for a blessing, it is then that you know what it means to be reduced to feeling like the smallest person in the universe. I also learned that many of the lepers are reduced to begging on the streets and hiding their affliction. This particular woman looked so sad as she stood outside the widow of our air conditioned car looking for some help. My heart went out to her. It really is an ill divided world.

It got me thinking about a song iain Jamieson and I wrote a few years ago, called “Brave Hearts” I was talking to the mechanic that was working on my car this afternoon about music. I told him I’d post the song on the blog let him hear it.
