Hi Lou, As always there are few words left available to me. You are so raw and honest in your appraisal of where we are at this time and yes we are truly living in very troubled times, right across the world.

Mid evening whilst RESTING, recharging my batteries from a busy day and I’ve noticed If I LISTEN to your words Louise then READ your words, the STILLNESS in the NIGHT becomes even more evident.

I FEEL the DARKNESS I begin to APPRECIATE the LIGHT more that is to come in the WAKENING of a new day and what it PROMISES.

It is indeed in the QUIETNESS, that the ticking clock, resounds and hails a MEMORY when TIME stood still once more for me. THANKFUL for my life as I reflect upon natures certainties of each new GOD GIVEN NIGHT and

DAY. Thanks for slowing me down and when TIME stood still once more.
