*this post is dedicated to the brave journalists in paris, recently lost to a senseless violent act, to journalists everywhere, to the freedom of speech and to peace.
I didn't have my glasses on.... 
Amen.

A lovely tribute. I think we all need to work at prying open Pandora’s box and letting as much Hope out as possible to regain the sense of Peace we have lost.
And one wonders why so many shy away from crowded places and spaces…. at least me anyway.

i wonder where hurricanes would form, then. i’d have to go an awful long way for a day at the beach. i mean, like, for an ocean. and i wonder if the rams would have moved to algiers instead of los angeles.

Interesting map. And yes, we find it easier to tackle technological problems than we do relationship issues. People are not very people-friendly, are they? Well, not some of them, anyway!

Well said! One of the strongest images I’ve seen in the media is that drawing of 3 pencils (whole, broken, two broken ends sharpened) that was originally attributed to Bansky – noticed that wasn’t correct but didn’t read article to see who was responsible for that dynamic depiction.

If we could just get hold of the idea that every one is our neighbour there would be a lot less violence and bigotry in the world.
