End of an era... Today it was something quite different. It was the scattering of a friends ashes, on an outgoing tide, combined with the ashes of his partner Malcolm. The two drifting out to sea together on yet another journey. Peter was an older man who, lets say, was at a complete loss when his partner of around sixty years died several years ago. They had spent a lifetime together since meeting in their twenties. They left New Zealand in 1961 as young men on a lifetime adventure to England together by ship. It was a time when to be two males in a relationship was not understood, was not accepted, as it is mostly today. Their life took on directions I'm certain would fill a book.

Just a pleasant quiet place I like to sit and ponder on things. Where I've been, where I'm going, you know the usual stuff. Watching the world go by as I sit under the shade of a tree listening to the birds singing and appreciating life around me. It's been a long and often bumpy ride to where I am today and who knows what tomorrow may bring. All good things we hope.

Has there ever been a time when there wasn't any sadness in the world. If there was, I can't remember just when. There are people still preaching the end of the world as we know it and the doomsday clock, as it's called, is ever approaching the bewitching hour. Should we be nervous...should we be scared? I guess so but we seem to have been living "on the edge" for so long now I guess ...
After January 6 2021 and all that we have learned since the riots and the threat to democracy that took place, and that at least seven people lost their lives in connection with these riots, let us hope we never see anything like this ever again. I'm sure many would agree it was unbelievable, disgraceful and something that should never have occurred. The rest of the world looked on in horror, amazement, that such a disruptive force allowed this to happen. Many hope for a more united America and much less divisive, as in the past, as we move forward for the sake of the United States and for the sake of the world in general. We have enough unease and disruption world wide at the moment...we certainly don't need any more! As ex President Trump talks of lawlessness at the moment but fails to acknowledge the damage and destruction of a failed coup, to contest the election which he lost, and yet still states it was rigged and that he won. https://youtube.com/shorts/3KFK2U9rAzQ?featu...
