TUMULTUOUS TIMES

Image result for election




Tumultuous times here in the UK just now and I feel as if we are drowning in the negative emotions which seem to fill the atmosphere.  The very air we breathe these days is polluted by accusation and acrimony, recrimination and fear, scandal and division, argument and anger until it seems that there is nothing good to be found anywhere. 

Not only do we have an election coming up but there is Brexit to be dealt with one way or another and whatever the outcome there half the population will not be pleased and there will be more anger and division.  

These lines from the carol "It came upon the midnight clear" seem appropriate just now:  

And man, at war with man, hears not
The love-song which they bring;
O  hush the noise, ye men of strife,
And hear the angels sing.

 

I came across this Poem yesterday and it sums up the situation nicely and hopefully brings a touch of humour to counteract all that negativity!
 
On a more hopeful note I walked up through the woods yesterday to the post box with a birthday card to post and noticed that there are daffodil shoots poking through the grass and even a tight bud or two so just as Spring will come again so hope spings eternal.

Not sure if the link is working as it should so maybe I will need to copy and paste it if it does!

  1. Doom and gloom everywhere, if it isnt the weather it's politics. The link to your interesting poem does work.
    Nice to see you today.

  2. The link made me smile. I am ignoring all the political nonsense and skipping round the neighbourhood admiring the new trees that are being planted instead. CJ xx

  3. The world is in serious confusion and turmoil these days. I'm trying to avoid thinking about it all since I can't do anything about it.
