A Message For The Grandmothers

Elisabeth has been my friend for over 40 years. We met as young Mums and now we are grandmothers. She has the strongest social conscience of anybody I know, and is up there with Kezzie when it comes to both cycling and recycling. She sent me this, by the Puerto Rican poet Aurora Levins Morales. A good reminder that some of us may be retired, and unlikely to be around in a few decades time. But we have a responsibility to future generations.

  2. "there are no leaders who say every life is precious". That line really said it all for me.
    A well written and beautiful poem.

  3. Of only we could be around forever to protect our children and grandchildren. Or come back, like in the film 'Cocoon'!

  5. Beautiful, and it reminded me of the grandmothers who still demonstrate in Argentina for their disappeared family members.
