The Lord is near the broken hearted and saves the crushed in spirit.
Psalm 34 : 18
A mixed emotion walk:
soggy ground under foot
come with us
our emotions may change as we walk.
Down a muddy root crossed path.
Today, the sun shines through a memorial to 20,000 airmen and women lost in the Second World War.
It is regretful that the world still kills rather than talks
People? Us? Never!
As the mists rise up and the air grows dark
That we may wear
As brave a heart as they.
Paul H. Scott
Through the window panes a view towards the Thames
Let us walk through a flooded area to see how all our rain has increased its flow.
We believe that the farm should be building ‘forgiveness’ into the ecosystem. What does that mean? That a more forgiving ecosystem is one that can better handle drought, flood disease, pestilence.
Joel Salatin ( an American farmer, lecturer and author.)
It is easy to smile with the sun on our backs, the sky blue with fluffy white clouds and none other than a willow twister’s sculpture of a bird.
The sun , the sky
Why this moody sadness
Beautiful twisted willow work
A bird taking flight!
Then further along and up a path...
Why is it here? Runnymede, where we are walking, is known for being the place when in 1215 the Magna Carta was signed. The Magna Carta enshrines basic freedoms in English law and the American Constitution lines with this. Look closely. I have typed the quote.
Let every nation know whether it wishes us well or ill that we shall pay any price bear any burden meet any hardship support any friend or oppose any foe in order to assure the survival and success of liberty.
John F. Kennedy
Cast all your anxiety on Him because he cares for you.
1 Peter 5:7
Thank you for walking with us.
Sandy 🙂😔
Walls are the absolute best, especially when there is good weather. Great sights as well and lots of history. ❤️😊
Thank you, Anneta . A few people were sitting reading in the sun with the shelter of the memorial at their backs. An interesting walk.
Indeed 😊❤️
What a lovely walk, Sandy. I had no idea that Britain gave an acre of its soil to the US in honor of JFK. You’ve educated me again. Have a wonderful week.
Yes, the land is well placed with views of the Thames, and the stone is in a thoughtful spot. I’m glad I could share it with you at such a difficult time for people in power.
It’s a sad old world ….
Very interesting re Kennedy.

Yes, it I took a lot out. It was too sad.Thanks for looking. Take care.🤗
