A quotation from Charles Mackay
Keep, Galileo, to thy thought,
And nerve thy soul to bear;
They may gloat o’er the senseless words they wring
From the pangs of thy despair:
They may veil their eyes, but they cannot hide
The sun’s meridian glow;
The heel of a priest may tread thee down,
And a tyrant work thee woe;
But never a truth has been destroyed:
They may curse it, and call it crime;
Pervert and betray, or slander and slay
Its teachers for a time.
But the sunshine aye shall light the sky,
As round and round we run;
And the truth shall ever come uppermost,
And justice shall be done.Charles Mackay (1814-1889) Scottish poet, journalist, song writer

Dear Friends of a #different #Kind, 🪶
I was on #Tooting #common this #morning. Not 'Commons' as the SUV #elites #delight in dividing for their #unthink-tanks to drive through. :gi:
A group of #Wombles from #Wimbledon have planted ye #olde sturdy #oaks from a golf course, also an invasion onto common land. I also noted two #trees broken in two by spoiled #children. In a sense we are all #spoiled and then grow under trees or #daisies. Or on the moon or Mars of the future, in some #extravagant ostentation of irrelevance and #irreverence. Dead is dead. 👻
Half a tree may grow. Half a planet may #survive. Maybe. It is a question of #inevitability Mr Anderson, Nothing Neo under the Sol Matrix, stars or #multiverse... or is there? :ablobcatcoffee:
Always there is. More. More #incomprehensible, more to #wonder. More to do #better. What fun for the #unicorns and trans-rainbows and critters we save. :ablobcatbouncefast:
