Today
is World AIDS Day. This banner at the Cathedral of Saint John the
Divine in New York City stands beside a glass case containing something
precious in its history and desired to never to be forgotten - a book
containing the names of 5,000 people who touched the life of the
Cathedral. Five thousand lives lost to AIDS. Five thousand sons,
daughters, brothers, sisters, fathers, mothers, husbands, wives,
cousins, partners, friends, co-workers, artists, teachers, doctors,
nurses, lawyers, accountants, students, homeless, middle-class, wealthy
and any other label that is a part of your vocabulary.
Today is World AIDS Day. This is a day in which you may have seen my cycling friends riding their bikes in the cold all across the nation. They rode for a reason - to remind us that this 32 year old battle is still raging. AIDS is not simply a part of our history but, for now, remains in our present and in our future.
Today is World AIDS Day. A day for us to honor and to remember and to be inspired to take action.
Today is World AIDS Day. This day has different meanings for each of us but I hope we all share one thing in common - it is not just another day. What we do with our thoughts will help define tomorrow.
Whatever your banner says, carry it with courage and hold it high.
