I have recently found true friendship at a time when it was desperately needed.
It's a crying shame that we sometimes wait until a crisis necessitates reaching out for comfort, reassurance and understanding, never really expecting to receive any solace or lessening of the heavy burden carried across a tormented, broken heart.
But, against all the odds, people were there for me. They managed to reach through the aching chasm to express their compassion and offer their wisdom and insight with sincerity.
"Thank you" doesn't seem enough. I want to repay this true friendship in any way I can; to let them know they helped save my life.

Changes
Last week, my sister phoned me to let me know she was worried about the amount of rubbish I was writing, that I was on a soapbox, was too angry but would never be able to change anything, so why not just stop my nonsense and go back to being the sister she misses.
She meant well, I love her, so I understand her concern.
My crime was to try to highlight some of the political and humanitarian outrages, injustices, tomfoolery, absurd and senseless idiocy that control our lives to an extreme and dangerous degree. I have tried to keep it relevant and have urged people to look and to think and to research for themselves.
Three things struck me as terribly sad. The first was that she asked me who on Earth I thought I was? The second was that she thought I had lost my faith. And the third, that she wanted me back "the way I used to be". When I put those three things together I realized she hadn't known me for a long, long time.
I have had tremendous faith throughout my life, although for a while I couldn't put a name to it....not that a name is ever necessary. I chose paganism, or the way of life chose me, opting for Nature's plentiful beauty and harvest, Her Yinyang complimentary opposites that interact through all existence, and careful use of extrasensory perception. I have always been these things; part of the Universe, part of Nature.
And, for the record, I added my voice to the scandal of jailing Robert Green for his brave and heroic efforts in finding justice for Hollie Greig. Robert is to be set free on 17th May. So, we can make changes and we should always try to do what is right and be who we are.
Little sis, we need to talk. XXX
