    Sometimes I think the youngers would be happy for me to lay down my things, and pay attention to do what other elders do, so it would be easier, than to pretend to listen to what they do not understand, to make fit into what they cannot relate. Senseless no doubt it seems to nothing…

  • Moments Of Thought. . . .for us. . .

    Moments of Thought. . . .

  • Is However Long We’ll Talk. . . Psalms of Love. . .

      However long. . . . Coming into a chosen family will be what someone will call a misfit.  And the label will stick.  This often is a child with a need to know everything and talk.   There will not be anyone to listen.  Because there will be other children, work to do, buses to…
