Well said, Martin... thanks for the much appreciated support and encouragement. Interesting, that I too, went through a very dark, 'Dark Night of the Soul' experience, 15 years ago. Years of fighting the good fight - totally on my own - finally took it's toll, and I was suddenly unable to weather the storm/the challenges in my own life, never mind be of assistance to anyone else, or the world at large. Funny thing is, I actually went to Twitter (my first social media experience), in an effort to create a place (however small and invisible), where I could post, and re-post pictures of great beauty in the natural world, in an attempt to pull myself together. It worked well - happy to say - but, ironically, whilst there, I soon got drawn back onto the (conspiracy 'realist' path again). Thankfully, I'm totally stable, now - going from strength to strength, and a lot of that I attribute to AU - the support and encouragement that is shown to everyone, here, regardless.

I neglected to say, that the pics where NOT my own... just material, I happened to find, online, that helped me, for one reason or another, to connect to a feeling of joy, and thereby helped to raise my energy.
While, I'm here, Martin... there was a photo of yours, awhile back, that I wanted to comment on - a road sign/possibly to do with a foot-path, and another photo (landscape) in that group, as well, that I really like, and wanted to comment on, but someone I lost connection with the post, almost as soon as I came across it, and haven't yet, been able to track it down. I don't know why, but I keep thinking of those 2 photos - must be something there, for me, eh?!? :)

Thank you, Martin

My take on your message...and how dearly you are loved for it~

" A key reason to fight today is that you may well be needed in the near future to help raise these traumatised young people. "

Our soul-purpose, at this precise moment, has been contracted to serve and protect what is left over after the devastation.

✝️OUR CHILDREN✝️

Amen.
NOTHING is more precious than the children!
