Liberty Quote
- Life, with its rules, its obligations, and its freedoms, is like a sonnet: You're given the form, but you have to write the sonnet yourself.

Local waterways – Pineview and Causey reservoirs just outside of Ogden, Utah are surrounded by shear wall cliffs along with exposed roadways were of special interest to the case.

The famous poem, Nada Te Turbe was written by St Teresa of Ávila (1515–1582), the great Spanish Carmelite nun, mystic, and Doctor of the Church.
Here is the poem written in her own handwriting.
Translated in English, it reads:
The poem is sung as a Taize chant. I do not know Spanish, but it was easy enough to learn to sing along or just to listen to.
Taizé
Nada te turbe
It has just two verses. They are repeated as a chant.
The English translation is in brackets

His wife is Ukranian and he did a trip over to Ukraine back at the start of the war to deliver ‘trauma kits’ to the frontline Ukraine soldiers. I know this as when Williams returned back in April, I was working from home and used to have Sky Racing Channel on. I remember thinking at the time he forgot one thing – a good supply of body bags.

We should stop vilifying people based on their political views.
We should avoid tribalism like the plague, and when we feel impelled to voice our views do so with patience, humour and assuming that this may be the first time any listener has been exposed to centrist or slightly right views.
Above all we should avoid the libertarian model of debate that resorts to mockery, abuse, accusations and misrepresentations of others views.
Read this account from Wikipedia of James Cagney’s political journey and remember that you may be speaking to similar people with genuinely held beliefs. I can’t help but think that Cagney’s friendship with a good man like Reagan had a positive effect on him:

We’re looking like entering a wage- price spiral period.
This will probably go on for quite some time, but many people still seem to be of the mindset that things will return to “normal” quickly.
Will the libertarians who repeated the “inflation is transitory” line admit they were wrong and reflect on why they were wrong?
Interest rates may come down. May. If they do, then the next wave will likely be even higher.
I think the rest of the 2020s will be about inflation, interest rates and war.
The millennial generation is coming of the age where they need to consume, form families and careers, but ideologically they think all that will destroy life on Earth. When needs meet ideology, slowly, slowly ideology will slink away.
We watched as the baby boomers went in the space of a decade from hippydom, communes and peace and love to “greed is good” and yuppiedom. Their children are even more f*caked up, and the transition will be an even more violent convulsion to the dark side and quick abandonment of childish innocence.
Wait for the current generation to have their Altamont moment.

It’s a ridiculous state of affairs. Janet Yellen came out with a plan to force the oil producers to sell oil at a price the purchaser was willing to pay, so naturally the oil producer’s cartel (OPEC) would react against this.
Now the western nations have to pay more for their oil because of Yellen’s misguided policy, China and other nations still get their oil at the old price.

Just finished reading one of Michael Connelly’s crime novels which is set in the Dec 2020–Jan 2021 time-frame.
On one hand, we have Bosch who seems to be uninterested in wearing masks and getting jabbed. I supposed Bosch was supposed to represent the ignorant, bad, anti-vaxxers. Then, there is Ballard who is pro vax, pro masks, pro social distance. She is such a good citizen, she drives Bosch to the jabbing centre to get the jab.
It is about the masks, jabs and “Trust the Science”.
We also hear about that insurrection to stop the certification of the election. Ballard watched CNN to get the news – the lawlessness, storming of Capitol to try and change the result of an election in which 160 million people voted. No names are mentioned, but the bias is clear.
I had pegged Connelly as a good crime novel writer with Conservative leanings, not a lefty-wokey.
But who knows – maybe the publishers lean on and “advice” that certain points need to be included in his novel as:
– Promote masks and vaxx
– Add diversity-inclusivity with a non-white female detective
– Also a qwerty “couple”
He has sold enough novels and made plenty of money. He needs neither fame or fortune to sell a novel. So if established millions-of-dollars novelists submit to their publishers’ selling points regarding their novel content, it may be that they don’t have strong convictions.

“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.” – Joseph Goebbels
