Here
I sit in this place
"This place?" you ask
"What place is this?"
My quiet abode, a place of bliss
A place unwalled, unroofed, unshaped
At least not by a builder's hands
No...
Human touch is unseen on these lands
A Maker's touch has set this home
This home among the birds, the trees
Up above, a dome so blue
And white and gray, and black at night
Colors seem to say what's true
Music plays so calm, serene
Scenes and sights and sounds, so pure
And I sit
Wondering
Is this real?
This refuge, light and sweet
Is this true?
This comfort, soft and clean
If so, what a thrill!
If not, what a big deal.
And then I see, I know!
Oh!
Happy day!
Even if skies are grey
Nothing else to say

An Open Letter to President-Elect Biden
Dear President-Elect Biden, I want to congratulate you on your election to be the 46th President of the United States of America. It's hard to imagine what a sense of accomplishment one must feel to be elected to, what is viewed by many, as the highest office in the world. During a most interesting year, amidst all types of perilous conditions, it must feel all the sweeter. As you prepare for your inauguration, I hope that you feel the support of Americans and that you have ample time and space with your family to consider and reflect on this moment. Please, receive my words of congratulations among the many I'm sure you have already and will continue to receive.

Tea set by a suffragette
Pankhurst is a name well known to the history of women’s suffrage. Who hasn't heard the name Emmaline Pankhurst, founder of the Women's Social and Political Union (WSPU), an all-women organisation campaigning for the right to vote? The group that helped to achieve the right to vote for women in Great Britain and Ireland in 1918. Some know of her daughter Christabel, both being honoured by the Pankhurst memorial in Victoria Palace Gardens, London, right next to the UK Parliament buildings. Sylvia Pankhurst is notably not included in the monument. Why? Because she split with the WSPU to campaign against Britain's entry into First World War.
