The candle burns not for us, but for all those whom we failed to rescue from prison, who were shot on the way to prison, who were tortured, who were kidnapped, who ‘disappeared’. That’s what the candle is for.
- Peter Benenson, founder of Amnesty International

As you prepare your breakfast, think of others
   (do not forget the pigeon’s food).
As you conduct your wars, think of others
   (do not forget those who seek peace).
As you pay your water bill, think of others
   (those who are nursed by clouds).
As you return home, to your home, think of others
   (do not forget the people of the camps).
As you sleep and count the stars, think of others
   (those who have nowhere to sleep).
As you liberate yourself in metaphor, think of others
   (those who have lost the right to speak).
As you think of others far away, think of yourself
   (say: “If only I were a candle in the dark”).

"Think of Others” by Mahmoud Darwish, from Almond Blossoms and Beyond.
Translation from the Arabic by Mohammed Shaheen

We all have wielded gifts from the specific struggles we have overcome. Given my personal and family histories, I stand to offer empathetic, non-judgmental assistance to specific groups of people. These groups are indeed plural; yet at this time, I am particularly poised to extend discounted services to a limited number of individuals and their loved ones who have been harmed by wrongful incarceration of any variety.

If you or someone you know fits this description and may benefit from my work, please reach out. If you fit this description and yet remain curious about my definition of "wrongful incarceration", please also reach out. I am happy to share my stances on the subject, and look forward to learning from yours.
