The discussion around world peace has been on the table all my life. Groups have been formed promoting peace, some of them stupid enough to do stunts that set people against them.There have been leaders such as Gandhi and his peace through non-violence, yet no one has been able to convince the people on thisContinueContinue reading “Peace and Common Sense: Intro”

A Song for All Democracies
Tonight I was watching probably the most uninspiring Last Night of the Proms I’ve seen. There were some wonderful songs and acts, the best of which was Bohemian Rhapsody. But the energy just wasn’t there. Something was just off compared to Proms of the past. It got me thinking though. Land of Hope and GloryContinueContinue reading “A Song for All Democracies”
Connection
The absence of connection in this world allows us to see others as ‘other’, not us, different, not important, wrong. To build stronger understanding and connections is to build a better world. This may sound airy-fairy, but when you see what governments are doing, it seems that the line for decency must be held by us.

We’re in the 21st Century and social media has clearly demonstrated that as a race we have barely advanced. Technological complications Yes we laud our technology, the fancy stuff we can build,ContinueContinue reading “The Equality of War and Insults”
Balance
Nature is about harmony and balance. Left to itself nature would thrive, natural predators would ensure balance, the air would be cleaner, the waters purer and with less plastic. The planet would be cooler. We are not. Imbalance We are not only bad for the planet, we are bad for each other, and appalling forContinueContinue reading “Balance”
Discomfort
Cats can be comfy in any position This comes from my sense of discomfort in my writing: I want to be funny Write of beauty But there is war I want to walk you down flower filled lanes Where we watch the butterflies and bees But children are suffering I want us to travel toContinueContinue reading “Discomfort”
