A quote from The Lord of the Rings by JRR Tolkien ‘Yet such is oft the course of deeds that move the wheels of the world: small hands do them because they must, while the eyes of the great are elsewhere...’ #humanity #philosophy #literature #hope 📜✒️ (Full quote in image)
At least for a while,’ said Elrond. ‘The road must be trod, but it will be very hard,. and neither strength nor wisdom will carry us far upon it. 
This quest may be attempted by the weak with as much hope as the strong...
Yet such is oft the course of deeds that move the wheels of the world: small hands do them because they must, while the eyes of the great are elsewhere.’
Quoted from The Lord of the Rings, by JRR Tolkien

I think everyone needs to read Holly McNish's poem "Mermaids" written 2 weeks after having her own baby, after reading about 62 desperate people whose lives ended in a small broken boat off Tripoli, including two infants, & really contemplate how conditional their #empathy is... #poetry #humanity
Mermaids

I hope they find you, baby,
On playmat ocean floors,
I hope they make you seaweed sheets,
and wrap you warm on sandy reefs,
I hope the corals sway for you,
your oyster rattles clutched in hands,
Pearls shake with open-eyed, amazement watching seahorse bubble bands,
I hope the mermaids sing for you,
and curve the waves to lull your sleep,
I hope your tears are wiped by mother, octopuses’ eight great feet,
I hope you land so softly, babies,
float onto the ocean’s floor,
And hope that we learn up above,
to welcome people to our shores,
To help them out of fleeing boats,
and let them live upon safe lands,
Too late for you.
I pray you both sank safely,
into mermaids’ hands.
Holly McNish,
From her collection "Nobody told me"

A quote from Valerie, movie "V for Vendetta" (2005) And I think of it every time I see a photo of Jackie Kennedy in the rose garden. "It seems strange that my life should end in such a terrible place, but for three years I had roses and apologised to no-one" 🌹🌹🥀 #America #USA #movie #politics
"She grew Scarlet Carsons for me in our window box, and our place always smelt of roses. Those were the best years of my life.
But America's war grew worse and worse, and eventually came to London. After that, there were no roses anymore, not for anyone. I remember how the meaning of words began to change; how unfamiliar words like "collateral" and "rendition" became frightening, while things like "Norsefire" and the "Articles of Allegiance" became powerful. I remember how "different" became dangerous. I still don't understand it, why they hate us so much.
They took Ruth while she was out buying food. I've never cried so hard in my life. It wasn't long till they came for me. It seems strange that my life should end in such a terrible place, but for three years I had roses and apologised to no-one. I shall die here. Every inch of me shall perish. Every inch but one. An inch - it is small and it is fragile, and it is the only thing in the world worth having. We must never lose it or give it away. We must never let them take it from us. I hope that, whoever you are, you escape this place. I hope that the world turns and that things get better. But what I hope most of all is that you understand what I mean when I tell you that even though I do not know you, and even though I may never meet you, laugh with you, cry with you, or kiss you, I love you. With all my heart, I love you.
Valerie
