I have read these words many times, this is the first time I have heard them – this bears thinking about!

Fantastic insight to what is, always was and perhaps, if we’re lucky, will be ‘our home’. Thanks for reblogging Pauline. Loved it!

  It is a special piece – as I said to AJ – if we all kept these words and pictures in our minds and our hearts, our world would be a very different place 🙂

Thank you Pauline, I always like to start my day with something thoughtful and this was perfect for today, especially as yesterday was Remembrance Day. It’s right to remember the fallen but even more important to remember that war is never the answer to our problems. Big love AJ 🙂

  Good morning to you AJ! I’m winding down my day, though it is still light. The evenings are long and soulful at this time of the year. It is a wonderful piece isn’t it – so thought provoking. I think if we all had this in the forefronts of our minds, as we go about our daily doings, our world would be a very different place 🙂
  Have a great day 🙂
