World Peace - a photo on Flickriver

World Peace

            I turn 58 in a few days and I'm starting to feel it.  I've been an empty nester for several years and won't be getting any grandchildren, we've a former president who's called himself a dictator running again and half the country says yes, and the world appears on the brink of a third world war......
and then there is this....
I'd like the world to blow this up as large as they can and stare at it for ten minutes and reflect on what's actually important.  For me, it's the infinitely patient woman in the camp chair behind me wearing a trench coat and  wrapped in my blanket, the only part of her that is visible is her huge beautiful smile.  
Let's stop arguing and start talking, let's stop thinking of ourselves and start thinking of each other.  We are only on this planet for a blink of an eye so hugs people, make love not war.
{End of speech, Rich steps down from his soap box and returns silently to his den)

Yesterday was the 33rd annual shove the tree up the angels' arse day so I've got some catching up to do, see ya soon although I may be done for the year or there won't  be anything to put under said tree.  :)
