A week is a long time

What change in the world in a week. I don’t address politics much in this blog, but I fear for the future for all of us when truth is distorted so blatantly, and the only politics presented is the  politics of fear and division.

Inspiring then to find the words of Valarie Kaur.  Her speech is shown here, demonstrating that it is possible to be passionate without being opinionated, to be bold without being dismissive of others, and to be truly brave. Her closing words will resonate for me during 2017 - “ what if this is not the darkness of the tomb, but the darkness of the womb?"

Walking with that thought in mind, a natural “womb” was photographed.

On the return journey, seen from a different angle, a hidden treasure was revealed to the camera.

Laughter and joy can still be found, we just need to look for them more closely.

  1. I've become slightly addicted to funny FB posts and tweets about Trump as it keeps a lid upon the fear! Xxx
