While writing my previous post, I hit this link to https://randomwordgenerator.com just to check that it worked and noticed – nowt wrong with my eyesight, see? – a fresh word on display.
Try it. Never the same word twice. This time it was miracle, a gift horse I couldn’t look in the mouth even though I’d only just dismounted the last one.
My mum, wedded to wise saws and sayings, used to say I could never leave well enough alone and – guess what? – she was right. Mums often are. And unlike my dad she had no time for ‘enlightened self-interest’, regarding it as a respectable mask for greed and selfishness, so this one is for her:
My prayer falls on deafened ears if hardened hearts are everywhere refusing shelter from the storm and finding new ways not to care - charity may start at home - leave it there to die alone - export it and the world's your own.

I reckon we need a miracle or two.

Miracles will never cease – another of my mum’s sayings – though do wonder what she would have made of the crash, austerity, Brexit, Trump and the pandemic!

My mother had that saying too. We need more than a few of them now.

Seeing some good signs in America, Dave, where so many are speaking out. If the majority can hold together and dump Trump, we will have a miracle! –Curt

I think/hope we are going to see some major changes as America recreates itself, Dave. One thing is for sure, we can’t continue down the same path we have been going.
