Love to come yes. But the foreboding: Oh my, how I mourn what has happened in the US election. This, Ollie, is what I have been posting in notes and elsewhere:
As Trump’s inauguration looms, as his threats to create detention camps loom, as prison stocks rise, as he plans to deport thousands from our nation, separating parents from their children, looms,
Let us hear Friedrich Gustav Emil Martin Niemöller (14 January 1892 – 6 March 1984), German theologian and Lutheran pastor, whose words appear on the U.S. Holocaust Memorial:
"First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out – because I was not a socialist. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out – because I was not a trade unionist. Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out – because I was not a Jew. Then they came for me – and there was no one left to speak for me."
We must speak out to save democracy and condemn inhumanity.
I hope you are now safe in London. Do stay in touch.
I share your feelings and thoughts, Mary. Every day there's a new absurdity announced for the upcoming government... I am continuously hoping for the best for your country, and for our planet. Lots of love to you.
