They're now stitching all the different strands of bollocks together into one big theory called Qanon... it's really quite breath-taking to behold. Be sure to tell your son in law about it, if he's not already indoctrinated himself. ?

Thank you Shifa, very much appreciated. I had such clear views of the world when I was young, I think maybe we all do. But as I got older, I realised that your perspective changes, and that you only thought what you thought because you hadn't put your ideas to the test of reality yet. I hope that makes sense? Life is ever changing and I think, for as long as we can change with it, we're ok. As soon as we can't, we're not.

Shifa it is always a pleasure to receive your words of wisdom. You have a keen interest in wanting to preserve the strings that holds the earth together. Unfortunately more harm is inflicted by deforestation by humans than storms unleashed by nature.

Thank you for the much appreciated like too.

"The one lesson that has been most useful and I’ve held most dear,
Is how little I actually know,
Because to know that,
Is to be aware of how much I could learn", profound verses!

This poem, in my view, can have several interpretations. But the one that is most obvious to me is witnessing the aftermath of a post ecological-crisis scenario. Whatever the intent maybe, the poem is extremely profound and important. A timeless piece!

Money is representative of wealth in other forms that can be called
on as collateral. The richly endowed nations know this and spend
accordingly, always a guarantee of political popularity wherever
it happens - and so the process proceeds while supply and demand
fluctuate according to "need" and "fashion".

Tom - thanks for commenting. It seemed appropriate to promote
some positivity towards "the great adventure" that we all face, some
even more immediately at this time. I woke the other morning with
the first line in my mind. The rest soon followed. - with the challenge
I set myself to create verses that used lines that sequentially rhymed.
