A Blog about Writing Personal Creative Nonfiction
My art reflects my life and travels.
I'm glad I learned to express my thoughts clearly and everyone loves to read them. Sometimes it takes a lot of thinking power to think about the surroundings. Someone who likes it, someone who enjoys it, appreciates that he is writing very well. Reading and commenting on the post I wrote would give me a lot of bullshit and I would get new ideas to write new ones. I'm really glad I got your response.
Gonna fill this page with breathings of my heart 💞

I pray peace and love will be restored within this world and within the USA, and that tension and evil will be conquered.
On that subject, here’s a song that I think speaks to that, and one I think more of us need to hear:

I am appalled at what is happening — from here to Ukraine — where Evil is not at their borders, but crouching in the safety of the Kremlin.

These are good quotes. But, in this tragedy unfolding in Ukraine, no one comes out looking good. Not the US, not the UK, not the rest of NATO, not Russia, not China and most certainly not my country, India

These are dark days. Reminds me too much of Hitler and Checkoslovkia. China is poised on Tawain. I just sorta have to wonder. Why are too many humans so evil.

Half of our beloved democracy , ( including the once credible GOP) cannot even stand up against the tyranny of a former disgraced president who refers to an insane dictator as a genius . Putins actions should be a lesson but Trump followers and white supremest media like Fox News bow to these criminals and conspire to overthrow our government. We have a lot to be concerned with in our own democracy.

‘St Augustin said: “An unjust law is no law at all” which means I have a right, even a duty, to resist with violence or civil disobedience. You should pray I choose the latter.’ James Farmer Jr., character, based on real person, who attended Wiley College in the late 1930s ( from the movie, “The Great Debaters”) I tend to believe conflicts via force and wars tend to carry the same duties/rights – too
