Beautiful Christina. He sounds like an inspiring man. It is said we are remembered by the living for forty years after our death. As a teacher myself, who has sometimes struggled to see the real value in what I’m doing, this is a good reminder that we have the power to make differences in our students’ lives. I remember this each time I talk to my students now, making sure each encounter is one that encourages, inspires, cares. It’s all I can do at the moment, in my small world. Xxx

Beautiful. Thank you for sharing your thoughts Christina in a world where it seems people are even scared to call for peace in case they are accused of being something or other "ist".

I wrote a piece a couple weeks ago called Stars which may seem banal and possibly is. However, tending to that which I do have agency over - my own children ( the next generation), to my own health and wellbeing feels like the best I can do for the planet right now. Looking after home base. As everything "feathers" out from there. Jo 🙏
