vininirl: Love Anyway
Life will break you. Nobody can protect you from that, and living alone won’t either, for solitude will also break you with its yearning. You have to love. You have to feel. It is the reason you are here on earth. You are here to risk your heart. You are here to be swallowed up. And when it happens that you are broken, or betrayed, or left, or hurt, or death brushes near, let yourself sit by an apple tree and listen to the apples falling all around you in heaps, wasting their sweetness. Tell yourself that you tasted as many as you could

vininirl: Happy, happy Christmas, that can win us back to the delusions of our childish days; that can recall to the old man the pleasures of his youth; that can transport the sailor and the traveller, thousands of miles away, back to his own fire-side and his quiet home!

vininirl: The Curlew Cried
BY OODGEROO NOONUCCAL

Three nights they heard the curlew cry.
It is the warning known of old
That tells them one tonight shall die.

Brother and friend, he comes and goes
Out of the Shadow Land to them,
The loneliest voice that earth knows.

He guards the welfare of his own,
He comes to lead each soul away
To what dim world, what strange unknown?

Who is it that tonight must go:
The old blind one? The cripple child?
Tomorrow all the camp will know.

The poor dead will be less afraid,
Their tribe brother will be with him
When the dread journey must be made.

‘Have courage, death is not an end,’
He seems to say. ‘Though you must weep,
He is kindly and is your friend.’

Three nights the curlew cried. Once more
He comes to take the timorous dead
To what grim change, what ghostly shore?

vininirl: As Afghanistan suffers, America has to take a long look at how we've perpetuated horror & how we can provide healing. We must welcome refugees & at last become the country we say we are. Today is the day to take in the tired, the poor, the huddled masses yearning to breathe free.

vininirl: Blessed in the Good Old Days

We met and we married a long time ago

We worked for long hours when wages were low

No TV, no wireless, no bath, times were hard

Just a cold water tap and a walk in the yard

No holidays abroad, no carpets on floors

We had coal on fires and we didn't lock doors

Our children arrived, no Pill in those days

And we brought them up without any state aid

They were safe going out to play in the park

And old folk could go for a walk in the dark

No Valium, no drugs and no LSD

We cured most of our ills with a good cup of tea

No vandals, no muggings, there was nothing to rob

We felt we were rich with a couple of bob

People were happier in those far off days

Kinder and caring in so many ways Now I am alone I look back through the years

I don't think of the bad times, the trouble and tears

I remember the blessings, our home and our love

That we shared them together I thank God above.
