GRATITUDE ON MY BIRTHDAY 🙏🏽 When I was under bombardment in war-torn Beirut in my teens, I didn't think I'd make it to 20, let alone 60. Since then, I've been a farmhand, military conscript, student, bartender, keyboardist, songwriter, producer, author, activist, and adviser. I've been a husband and father, friend, brother, and son. When I settled in New York City in the 80s as a war survivor, I majored in philosophy at NYU, hoping to understand and unwind some of the trauma I'd experienced, to probe the roots of good and evil. I shunned organized religion and sought spirituality. And then I found Jesus in my 50s, not as a biblical character/caricature, but as an ever-present force of good to which my conscience answers. Over the decades, I've lived in a state of constant surreality, that boy huddled in bomb shelters finding himself in the war rooms of presidential campaigns, in the pages of the NY Times and Washington Post, on cable news shows, appearing on recordings by artists such as Miles Davis and Mariah Carey, topping the Billboard charts, advising major organizations and campaigns, writing books, and speaking at conferences and universities. I've grappled with what it means to be an American, at times proud of the greatness our nation can produce, at times appalled and ashamed that America allows children to go hungry, veterans to lie homeless in the streets, millions to struggle for survival while a tiny minority indulges in opulence and excess. I've made my share of mistakes and missteps, but I always come back to the unwavering faith that our ultimate mission on earth is to love, to care for the most vulnerable among us, to do good in the midst of so much evil. I treat each day as a gift, and I thank you for being part of my journey and letting me be part of yours. ❤️

@peterdaou Happy Birthday Peter! 🎉

If a US adversary was banning social media apps, using prison (slave) labor to fight fires, dragging journalists off for objecting to government policies and committing genocide, there would be calls for sanctions and regime change. At this point, the US needs to invade itself.
