Appeared in The New York Times April 2015
I am so so blessed to be #armenian ... It has really hit me in a different way recently -- seeing my community globally so united, passionately fighting for justice ... Embracing how alive we are, how committed we are to healing and moving forward, thriving ...
The generosity I continue to experience from within my community stuns me ... The support, the love, the unquestioning embrace ...
We are commemorating a deep trauma from 100 years ago this week -- but we are still here, we are present all over this earth and we are a testament to the beauty of the human spirit ... The power of resurrection ... The capacity of the human soul to alchemize the dark matter into gold ... For what is life but a series of moments and opportunities to do just that ...
Being Armenian has been an opportunity to live life epically ... When you know the depths of the abyss, your recognition of the light is that much more profound ...
And so even with all the pain, being Armenian has been a beautiful gift ...
