Beautiful
Don’t you miss
The soft whisper
Of my sweet summer
Wits?
My secret glares,
My unlikely kindred
References to a world
That is no more?
Don’t you miss
My squirrel thoughts,
Or were they rhino’s?
Dreams meant only
To be dreamt,
Times only
To be imagined.
Places unexplored
Playgrounds offered,
But only
If you
Join me.
Today is the Summer Solstice, which means we are mid way through the year already.
When did this happen?
We have all been so busy worrying about so many things, that the year is half gone, and in a hurry to finish, if you ask me.
There is also a brand new moon tonight, so maybe the rest of 2020 will start well and produce some good results.
And speaking of good results, we thought we would celebrate the Solstice with some positive news. We have started the process of publishing Anita’s book, Annie’s Song.
Family or freedom, which would you choose?
Life in the backwoods of Virginia at the turn of the century was perfect,
until Annie discovers a nasty family secret.
Something her family have been doing for years.
She knows she cannot live like this, but her protests fall on deaf ears.

So this was how the post starting
“You’ll have to excuse me, some things have to be written, I could be mischievous and write them on FaceBook just to agitate one of the groups whose members want no for from life than to make the world known how righteously angry they are, and never mind what a tenuous grasp they have on facts or big pictures.
But my wife says I am not to do that anymore because I am doing it for all the wrong reasons. And as usual, she is right I wouldn’t be stating a case just being provocative. (I don’t know about you but FaceBook does that to me)”
And that was just the start.
And then I was fortunate enough to see this
When Nobility and Compassion Are There
So since on the previous day I was in full rant about the only language the EDL supporters understand is a crack on the head, I am now thoroughly ashamed of myself.
Thus I have ditched all my comments about the rights and wrongs of statues and the lessons of histories to all sides as it will just be ‘sounding off’ because I was in one of my moods and I was being……(Mild profanity warning)…….a bit of an asshat. And considering I claim I espouse Christianity and look to the Lord Jesus Christ also something of a hypocrite and will have some explaining to do when it’s my turn to stand up for judgement. (OK it might seem mild stuff by other standards but a sin is a sin…right?).
That is not to say the injustices, abuses and intolerances are to be ignored and walk away saying: ‘I’d best not get involved,’. Of course it is important to speak out, but violence of action and language only makes things worse. I need to get my focus right during these turbulent times otherwise I am only contributing to the problem.
In the meantime I’ll work on my re-write, there are enough messages in there.
Take care everyone and win the discussion (not argument)
