Your posts on this have been really interesting, particularly as my son is studying this at the moment. I smiled at him yesterday with pride as he ranted and raved about how unfair the world was……… I remember feeling that too. Our world needs to wise up and make this more than just about words. Great post – oh you do get my thinking fired up. Thank you. I look forward to your posts every day.
Thank you so much Jacqueline – such a lovely compliment! I truly love to hear young people rant about injustice – it gives me hope.
Oh, if only…what a wonderful direction in which to put our time, energy and resources! Debra
We need a vision I suppose even if we are not there yet at least it can help us see where we’d like to be.
Once again, reblogging to my own site, as this Article 2 says so much of what I am about in my own journey with my critters!
Exactly!
Reblogged this on granbee and commented:
No distinctions between folks whatsoever here, dear friends! Let us complete our Lenten Journey with such mutual acceptance and support.
Absolutely!
Sad that it has to be spelled out in print what humans basic needs are…
It is sad but maybe it helps us to focus.
True, we tend to lose that don’t we? I do anyway.
We all do.
