in my humble opinion, we need to be very careful about believing/ buying
into / reacting to the aforementioned images which depict celebrations in
the street which were supposedly in response to the tragedies of last
Tuesday. ... by this I mean that such images can easily be planted to suit
the needs of the media in further fanning the flames. Who knows when those
celebrations really took place and in what honour. And who knows what
bullshit is being fed over there about the US et al. Just a few thoughts on
this monday eve.
mags, trying to be quiet and still.

And this loving is a drawing close,
a tuning in, an opening.
Until one perfect moment;
but how can it be expressed?
A receiving, an enfolding
as I cradle you in my arms.
Within my heart, within my soul,
You are my true love.
--Lui Collins
