Truth

Who am I ?

My head knocks against the stars.
My feet are on the hilltops.
My finger-tips are in the valleys and shores of universal life.
Down in the sounding foam of primal things I reach my hands and play with pebbles of destiny.
I have been to hell and back many times.
I know all about heaven, for I have talked with God.
I dabble in the blood and guts of the terrible.
I know the passionate seizure of beauty
And the marvelous rebellion of man at all signs reading "Keep Off."

 

My name is Truth and I am the most elusive captive in the universe.

 by Carl Sandburg

Jaques Cousteau

Ms Hughes in English says.

"I was reading at the age of 12ish - would probably be one of  Jacques Cousteau's books 'The Silent World' - I was crazy about the oceans and seas and the world that existed beneath the surface."

"I read many books as a child, like Mrs Nichols I read the Chalet School books and I also enjoyed many Enid Blyton books. "

"The books I remember most are the Barney Mysteries and 'Secret' series, both are about a group of children who have adventures whilst solving mysteries all over the world."

How Do We Deal With Prejudice?

even those of us who've worked very hard
at not being prejudiced, have some type of
prejudice remaining. for example:
it could be prejudice by color, over religion,
over political views, concerning sexual orient-
ation.... prejudice against those who have money,
or those who dont! ...etc.
all prejudice is wrong by nature, most of it grounded
in the 'self'... in our own irrational fears, and our
stubborn streak of ignorance....
it's always taught, but doesnt have to be allowed!
it ofen hides under the banner of morality, or the
flags of patriotism...
we battle prejudice by being open minded, being
willing to listen, and learning to see ourselves
in other people...
if we say we have no prejudices, we have lost,
and prejudice has us bound.
if we admit our prejudices, name them, look at
them with naked eyes and resolve, then we're making
headway....
prejudice in the end is humanity failing to be human!
being human is a 24 hour a day,7 days a week job!
