It's time I took this blog seriously. On Squidoo I am writing a poem a day for a year. I started in April. So if I can do that there should be no reason why I can't write here every day too. Actually there may be a problem this week but certainly from Friday onwards I should manage it. So keep your eyes peeled. I am now awaiting the result of section B of the Faith and worship course for local preachers in training. I think all should be well but one can never be entirely sure. I am preparing myself for all eventualities.to get back to the poetry, I here include a liA poem for every daynk. There will be a new lens for each month, so, of course, there is one for May too.
I have written in previous posts about disasters. In the case of Concorde, decisions by people, plus other factors were directly to blame for the event. In the case of the Penlee disaster it may have been avoided if someone had made a better choice in the time beforehand and as a consequence brave men and the ship's crew and the captain and his family died. 9/11 was certainly the result of wicked men committing a terrorist act, but even in this there was heroism notably by another Cornish man, Rick Rescorla who helped many to safety and left it too late to help himself. In situations like this we see what the human spirit is capable of both good and evil. What of disasters that come on people because of the earth restless movement of tectonic plates. Often people live near volcanoes because the land is rich and fertile and they have the chance of a better life there when the volcano is resting. We cannot blame them for that but sometimes people become complacent...
