Thankyou Germany...

Thousands and thousands of immigrants
and refugees are, as you're reading this, arriving in Germany where they're being welcomed
with open arms.
The Pope has ordered each of his churches in Europe to provide accommodation for at least one family. The Finnish Prime Minister has offered his second home to refugees. People around the world are opening their hearts and their homes, making ready their spare rooms in order to give shelter to the displaced pouring into their countries.
I wonder why they wouldn't do the same for their own homeless and displaced but never mind.
Thankyou Germany...

This Story Of Alan Barnes And His Fairy Godmother Katie Cutler May Help Restore Your Faith In Humanity...

Humanity is capable of much love and kindness and as we keep seeing with shocking frequency, much hatred and brutality.
This beautiful story of little Alan Barnes and his Fairy Godmother Katie Cutler may help to restore some faith in humanity.
This is a story of someone less fortunate being found by someone more fortunate. And how both their lives have been enriched by what started out with Alan being brutally mugged outside his home, to Katie making a simple and random act of kindness that has changed both their lives. And it will bring some hope and joy to those who take a moment to read more here.
Thanks Katie. You're a beautiful person...

The Joys Of Peace And Freedom Of Choice...

I realise how fortunate I am, how lucky to be freedom camping at Tokerau Beach in New Zealand's Far North.
As I've said before, it's one of the most beautiful places on the planet.
We've just recently enjoyed the winter solstice and a period of short days and long nights.
There's been the usual storm or two but as you can see, there's been calm, sunny,
summer-like days too.
No matter the weather, nature's beauty nourishes my soul and provides a buffer and a stark contrast to the storms of man's inhumanity to man that prevails in much of this so called civilized world.
Where others are protesting to pursue their own preferred way's of life, peace and freedom of choice...
