To those struggling in Iran:

I hope you find strength in the weakness of others, courage in their fear.
That is the birth of bravery.
I hope you find voice in the thunder of others, a calling only you can hear.
That is the difference that makes us one.
I hope you find girding in the compassion, respect and dignity offered to you by strangers;
Such is the measure of humanity.
I hope you find the warmth of liberty after this eclipse, alchemy of light from dark.
That is the course of freedom.
