“Each morning comes along and you assume it will be similar enough to the previous one – that you will be safe, that your family will be alive, that you will be together, but life will remain mostly as it was. Then a moment arrives and everything changes.”
Cloud Cuckoo Land, pg 64, a novel by Anthony Doerr

And doesn’t it ever speak to us Lori, even if a little loudly sometimes. Glad to hear your voice kind lady, may your voices be at the least a little balanced in heart and mind 🤗❤️🙏

Very apt. Good to see you Lori. We just have to hope that the man and his worshippers do not do too much damage to your country and the whole world in the next four years.

I agree. I am still in shock. The world does not need another despot. I used to watch a show from the BBC called “World on Fire”. It feels as though we are heading back to those catastrophic times full of suffering and fear. Take care.
