What have you been working on?
Yes I’m that stupid!
On the other hand is it stupid to want everyone everywhere to be safe, fed, sheltered, and thrive? People try to convince me that I live in cloud cuckoo land and I’m deluded, but it will never work. I see more children dying, more people murdered, more women used as weapons of war, nationalism, tribalism, and I know that I can’t be wrong.
It baffles me why anyone would think it isn’t a necessity. Of course we’re on a hiding to nothing, but all the time those who do believe stand back just because they won’t win at the moment, momentum doesn’t increase.
This is the long haul where the baton has to be passed from generation to generation. The past has to be left where it is. The only place it exists is within memory. You can’t change it or undo it you can only learn from it and do better.
I am not proud to be from one of the countries that built an empire. I am pleased to be from a country who together with other nations turned part of that empire into a commonwealth of mutual respect, I am proud to be a member of that commonwealth. Long may it thrive in its rainbow diversity.
Diversity is the most fascinating thing about this world. A unique, varied, wonderful thing.
Let’s be more inclusive, less scared, and more dynamically peaceful.
Apart from that I’m writing. Which is wonderful. I lost it for years and blogging has bought it back.
Happy Sunday everyone! 💖
Congrats to the Springboks, blessings to our scrappy, brave, determined, team.
