Two items on the BBC News website caught my attention this
morning. The first was the shooting of the Jewish couple in Washington DC,
and the second was the ‘meeting’ between Trump and Cyril Ramaphosa in the Oval
Office. What most caught my eye were the words attributed to Netanyahu
regarding the first incident, and those of Trump in the course of the second.
The level of gross hypocrisy was staggering even by the sad standards of senior
politicians generally, and I wondered yet again why, since there are so many
good people on this planet, we allow our sacred space to be so hideously
polluted by men such as these.
(Although I think it likely that conspiracy theories will soon start circulating around the murder off the Jewish couple.)
My first thought on entering Sainsbury’s to do my grocery shop yesterday was for the people of Gaza, especially the children who haven’t yet been slaughtered by Netanyahu.

You know, I was watching a magpie pecking at something on a fallen tree branch this morning, and as I wondered what was attracting its attention I had a deep inner sensation that I’m no longer connected to this world. If only I could hold on to that feeling, maybe I could start being merely observant of the dark creatures instead of being angered by them. Seems I have a way to go yet.
