I'm honoured to be a dedicatee. Been active since school and still going, although feeling the march of the years. Labour supporter till about 10 years ago when I started moving further left (I think). Searching now for a new home - thanks for your words of wisdom. David
You are spot on Bear. We are merely assuaging our consciences if all we do is bash away at our keyboards without getting out into the world. For my part: protest marches (the rejoin EU movement), myriad letters to my MP, and two local homeless and food bank organisations. Not all of us can found or spearhead a campaign, but we can help to swell the ranks and be seen and counted. I for one have to quell my impulse towards revolution!!
I agree wholeheartedly dear 🐻. My husband and I are supporting our local silent vigils for Palestine, going out in the freezing cold ( I'm in a wheelchair and it gets bloody freezing) and standing in silence with about 50 like minded people, donating what I can, when I can to homeless charities, cancer research, deafness etc. And also being a keyboard warrior, encouraging others to get out and actually do something. You're totally correct about that sense of cosy acceptance. We should all do our bit to try and make the world a bit more kind and compassionate. Thank you for your really great pieces of writing, and please take care. Sending you hugs, jars of honey 🍯 and snuggles. I do love bear hugs 🫂 xxxxxxxxxxx
