Today I blinked,
and in that frame,
A moment's pause,
yet much to claim.
With eyes closed brief,
then open wide,
A simple act,
yet pride inside.
No grand event,
no loud parade,
Just a quiet gesture,
simply made.
But in that blink,
a choice so sound,
To see the world,
with joy unbound.
I am proud,
for in that wink,
Life's beauty caught
in just a blink.
A reminder that
the small things too,
Can fill our hearts
and see us through.

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.
