I have heard it said we are the uninvited.
We are the unwelcome.
We should take our misfortune elsewhere.

Wow. Wow. This is such a powerful little poetry book. In just a few pages, Khaled Hosseini paints an absolutely gut-wrenching picture of a family beginning their journey to seek asylum. I can't even begin to fathom how truly privileged I am to not live in that position, but Sea Prayer offers a tiny window into the terror and hurt that refugees must face — especially a parent trying to save their young child(ren).

If you'll excuse me, I'm going to go hug my little one very tightly and thank my stars a little extra tonight.
