I resonate completely with every single word--thank you so very much. Yes, Love IS why we keep going, and I would not have signed up consciously for any of the super challenging circumstances my husband and I have weathered in the fifty years since we originally met , yet ALL of them, including this wild and wooly time in the history of the world have brought us closer to our Creator, to ourselves and each other. We would walk over hot coals for to help a child and I pray people wake up to see …

Yet. Again. Gratitude for ALL you do, be and are.

It would appear I am unable now to even post this on FB. Was ever a man so persecuted? Oh yes the 'Parnell affair' springs to mind for one. In those days though at least the Press could could sometimes be trusted to call tyrants to account. Now they live without fear anyone will call them out. You are in good company Martin & were given the name (one who sees) before you were born! God in us!!!

Thank you again!🥰.

The decline and fall of the empire of meta-fraudsters looks like a horrific end of established society, but actually it is only the beginning of genuine civilisation.

Your essay made me feel queasy at first as you defined meta-fraud, which feels like I’m in the belly of the Leviathon, being slowly digested by the juices of false history. But then you turn it around with the redemptive phrase “the beginning of genuine civilization” and my stomach settles and I can swallow again. But I know that …
