Life is too short to have regrets of what could have been or will be. Live in the moment because everyday is a new day.

There is no place for occupation. End the apartheid.

We cannot be friends if you are not willing to take a stance for the lives of Palestinians. Theirs lives matter. Take a stance. #speakup

[Sakina Syeda @isakeeni]

End the occupation! Free Palestine! Everyone has a right to live. #nomorekilling #protest

One of the best compliments I can get from a student. “Ms. Sakina, it’s so nice to see you smiling right as we enter class (on google meets). You make me want to be here. I may not answer every question, but I’m here.” Okay. You win. I’ll be here all day everyday! #remotelearning

There are so many stories to tell, but the best one is yet to be written. Yet to happen. Forgive yourself and move on.

So many times, I’ve looked back and thought about how many bridges have been burned. But, after so many years, I look ahead and see the potential of how many bridges that can be built. It’s okay to let it go and let it be.

You have to wander lonely to find yourself— who you’re meant to be and how you’ll achieve that. Trust in the journey.

Dignity, respect and integrity. The tone of President Biden today has inspired me greatly.

[NPR @NPR]

Masks. The absence of an incumbent president. The swearing-in of the first woman elected as vice president. There was much that was historic about the 59th Inauguration.

Here are scenes from the day.

Beautiful poem.

[NBC News @NBCNews]

FULL AMANDA GORMAN POEM:

“We will raise this wounded world into a wondrous one ... There is always light, if only we’re brave enough to see it. If only we’re brave enough to be it.”

In Surah An'aam, Allah contrasts two individuals: one who is lifeless and chooses to engulf themselves in their own misery and one who starts off lifeless but gradually works to revive their heart.

Former President Bill Clinton called the events today "an unprecedented assault on our Capitol, our Constitution, and our country."

[Joe Biden @JoeBiden]

Today is a reminder, a painful one, that democracy is fragile. To preserve it requires people of good will, leaders with the courage to stand up, who are devoted not to pursuit of power and personal interest at any cost, but to the common good.

Sad day to be White in America. I feel sorry for my fellow White friends who have to deal with this nonsense. You must feel sad and embarrassed.
