The old year is gone and good riddance !
Wipe off the rust and sharpen your swords, be ready for what comes, there are no pretty promises in the pipeline.
Tis better to fight for what is wise and right than to be crushed unseen, unheard.

Think not only of yourself, think bigger, think beyond your own life, think beyond your own family and friends.
Think beyond your own community, town and county, think of your country and her neighbours !

GB is an Island, a Mountain. A mountain needs many grains of sand, no grain stands alone, you are a part of this Island Mountain. How solid that mountain is depends upon how well you stand and hold together. We English are an Island Nation and our neighbours are Scotland and Wales. Ireland and Europe are 'across the water', not really neighbours, just trading partners, hopefully good trading partners and we should encourage fair dealings with them both.

America is far away, as are Moscow and Peking, and when the tides swell and no ships can sail thus far we shall forget them. Those who wish to go to the moon and beyond should leave now, we that must remain don't need you !

Tend to the needs of Mother Nature, nurture her earth that she may feed you. Stop burning her soul (coal & oil) and polluting her atmosphere with the poisonous gasses that she had banished to live under the earth. You/ we need Mother Nature, she does NOT needs us ! Tend to her forests and all creatures that live therein and therefrom, as our ancestors once did. Respect the water that she provides in abundance and do not pollute it with man made waste.

Time is running out for mankind, you are the key to the future, but are you able to open the door into a calmer future ? Stop this obsession with permanent growth, do you not have enough ?

Stop feeding the starving so that they can produce more children to then starve tomorrow. Saving them only compounds the problems. If their land can not feed them they can not survive in such numbers. Stop encouraging the starving to come here, where we already have more than enough hungry people living on our own streets.

Mother Nature does not carry weaklings, they become extinct, the strong survive, but only if Mother Nature is not upset and so brings great storms and floods or drought and fires, volcanoes and earthquakes which can weaken the most solid of mountains. We humans can not control Mother Nature we can only hope to live according to her rules, for She is God !

She is the God that you breathe, drink, eat and nourish with your body when you perish. She is seeable, hearable, feelable, edible and smellable. I need no other God, no invisible character in a book written by humans to limit the freedoms of the many for the benefit of the few. Trust in that what you can see, hear, touch, taste and smell, the 5 senses that she, God gave you and use your sixth sense to make the right choices. Because if you are blind and do not listen, can not feel the winds of change nor taste the sour water nor smell the rotting waste of mankind then your brain will not function and our time has come to make way for the next chapter in our planets long, long, history.

2022 is perhaps the crossroad where you will choose which way to go... enjoy your journey.

Hi Bill and Yall,
My, but I bet you have sore finger ends after that mountain of wisdom! Keep on passing this wisdom and common-sense, which I quickly share with all my 'Ocker friends, whether they want to hear it or not.

You have a Happy and Prosperous New Year, all here send love and best wishes to you all.

Brenda and Arnie :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D .
