“When you love anyone or anything, give it your all with sincerity, generosity, and selflessness. In true love, there are no games, no tricks, no subtle hints, or anything like that. Everything is true, honest, and clear. Those subtle hints refuse to be subtle in their sheer existence, as something as simple as a catching of glimpses speaks louder than a stare. And when that happens, the truest sound of love can only be heard by one’s heart. Artists throughout history, including myself, have tried to put it into words, painting, or other forms of art, but nothing could ever truly describe Love. So, go out there, live and love wholeheartedly and trust in God and yourself that everything will come together when the time is right, and that all that comes before it was meant to prepare you for when your Love arrives. When it finally does, hold on to it, dedicate your life to it, and smile because you’ve found the treasure every person has sought to find. Love God. Love you. Love life. Love love.”

Right now, more than half of Guantanamo’s detainees are on hunger strike after over 11 years of indefinite detention. With dozens of detainees cleared for transfer (some for many years), is death the only way out of Guantanamo?

I honestly can’t remember the last time I was this excited to watch a documentary.

These Birds Walk, a film by Omar Mullick and Bassam Tariq, tells the story of a runaway boy searching for home on the streets of Pakistan, at an orphanage and with the family he fled in the first place.

It looks like a much more complex and moving portrait of contemporary Pakistan than we usually see, and also a universal story about trying to find your place in the world.

This seems fascinating, heartbreaking.
