“Think Of Others” Poem by Mahmoud Darwish.

As you prepare your breakfast — think of others.
Don’t forget to feed the pigeons.
As you conduct your wars — think of others.
Don’t forget those who want peace.
As you pay your water bill — think of others.
Think of those who have only the clouds to drink from.
As you go home, your own home — think of others — don’t forget those who live in tents.
As you sleep and count the stars, think of others — there are people who have no place to sleep.
As you liberate yourself with metaphors think of others — those who have lost their right to speak.
And as you think of distant others — think of yourself and say,
‘I wish I were a candle in the darkness.’

An Garda Síochána’s National Awareness Day Highlighting Domestic Abuse.

Go Purple Day – An Garda Síochána’s National Day for domestic abuse awareness – takes place next week, on Friday 30th May.

Go Purple Day aims to increase awareness of domestic abuse and the supports available to those experiencing it. An Garda Síochána encourages you to get involved and support this years Go Purple Day Campaign by baking purple; sewing purple or wearing purple.

Perhaps you might invite friends in for tea or hold a coffee morning in the office. All ideas are welcome!

Above all, An Garda Síóchána asks that you speak to one another about this issue. Without realising, you might just give someone the crucial support they’ve needed to begin to share some of the fear they deal with alone.

If you or someone you know is a victim of domestic abuse, please contact 999 or 112 or your local Garda station.
