Monday again

 




Space...the final frontier. Well, at least the moon again!


An excellent read. Slowly. Not something to digest in minutes.


I heard about Tyson Yunkaporta when Starhawk quoted him. 


“The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated.”
― Mahatma Gandhi


Our human compassion binds us the one to the other — not in pity or patronizingly, but as human beings who have learnt how to turn our common suffering into hope for the future. —Nelson Mandela



Although the world is full of suffering, it is full also of the overcoming of it.

Around the world's waters

 
This last week my sons and their wives have been near the water: but which one?


The Gulf of Mexico (or nearby swimming pool) for a new home for Barbara, Marty and Bev (sister to Barb).

If you want to make peace with your enemy, you have to work with your enemy. Then he becomes your partner.

Sharing with Sepia Saturday where some other folks are floating on some other waters!

Our host, Alan Burnett, says this:
I decided that for October we should have a general theme of "Going Places" but looking at my choice of theme image for this week - the last Sepia Saturday in September - it looks as though we have already started on our journey. Of course, you don't have to be going places - perhaps you are just sat in a boat going up and down on the waves and feeling slightly sea-sick. Equally, you don't have to stick to the theme - this is Sepia Saturday where anything goes as long as it is old and photographic. Whatever your contribution might be, contribute it on or around Saturday 27th September 2025 and add a link...
