"The glory of life surmounts the fear of death. Good Christian's fear Hellfire, so to avoid it they are kind to their fellow man. Good pagans do not have this fear, so they can be who they are. Good or ill, as their nature dictates. We have no fear of God, so we are accountable to no one but each other."
― John Clare, by Penny Dreadful.
“How can I live without thee, how forego
Thy sweet converse, and love so dearly joined,
To live again in these wild woods forlorn?
Should God create another Eve, and I
Another rib afford, yet loss of thee
Would never from my heart; no, no, I feel
The link of nature draw me: flesh of flesh,
Bone of my bone thou art, and from thy state
Mine never shall be parted, bliss or woe.
However, I with thee have fixed my lot,
Certain to undergo like doom; if death
Consort with thee, death is to me as life;
So forcible within my heart I feel
The bond of nature draw me to my own,
My own in thee, for what thou art is mine;
Our state cannot be severed, we are one,
One flesh; to lose thee were to lose myself.”
― Paradise Lost, by John Milton.

You'll be cast as the villain in someone's story. Not because you were cruel or careless, but because your truth disrupted the version of events they needed to believe.
People reshape others to protect their own narrative, especially when accountability feels too heavy to carry. Let them have their story.
You don't need to defend yourself in every chapter you didn't write. Keep moving forward.
Stay honest. Peace comes from knowing who you are, even when others get it wrong.

Florida Right to Clean Water
This is a #WatershedMoment. We can make this happen.
With your help, we can bring this initiative to amend Florida's Constitution to the voters in November 2024, so the PEOPLE can decide whether we should hold our State agencies accountable for harm to Florida's waters.

In the name of accountability, I feel I ought to reveal what I ate yesterday. Ready?
2 slices of cold pizza (chicken, mushrooms, olives and garlic butter) at the top of Tom Heights (recce)
Part of a Gregg's Cheese and Onion Bake (binned, vile)
1 packet of Doritos Cool Original
1 Peanut Chunky Kitkat
That saw me through to about 12 when I'd finished photographing Mary's Shell. Hmm, I can't really turn up to my sister's hungry...
1 quarterpounder with cheese
3 mozzarella bites
Sister's house:
Toffee Crisp
Then managed to make it all the way through to 5pm:
3 slices of garlic bread (goats cheese and caramelised onion 😍)
Chicken with a Diane sauce (the 80s called and want their sauce back)
Chocolate icecream rolled in meringue and hazelnuts.
-- The end --
This is what eating carbs does to me, I turn into a voracious bottomless pit 😂
I blame the Met Office.
Frostwick and Ill Bell from a bloody lovely Kentmere Round on Saturday!
I've never been this accountable-less and within
I've never known focuslessness on any form
I've never had this lack of ache for dalliance
To let go ....
Ah to breathe
Stop looking outside
stop searching in corners of rooms
Not my business or timing
I declare a moratorium on things relationship
I declare a respite from the toils of liaison
I do need a breather from the flavors of entanglement
I declare a full time out from all things commitment .

Your choices, your accountability, your responsibilities, are all in your own hands. You never have to blame someone for what they do to you. YOU have the power, its in your hands, its your choice.
Do not wait for your life to fall apart to understand the power of choosing a different path. Mel Robbins
I have shared with so many people the "Let them" Theory by Mel Robbins. Her message is unapologetic, clear, and freeing. We can not control what others believe, say, or even think. Should they decide you are not a good person, or assign you with their gossip, hate.. that is NOT on you.
Let them.
Be strong in who you are and your personal morality. Most folks should sincerely take their own inventory of action and life before judging others.
One of Mel Robbins' series. Please enjoy! ♥
It is painful for me to think that within a year this fox, and others on Island Beach State Park, were exterminated by gun-slinging, hunt-happy authorities who don’t deserve their positions. There is no excuse but there should be responsibility and accountability. When our natural places are mismanaged, those responsible should pay financially and with jail time. Sitting pretty in their government backed positions should not provide them with protection from prosecution. #RedFoxes
As our cities, becoming controlled by mobs and thugs. Brazenly, storming stores anytime of day. Breaking, stealing, without fear. Our communities, being controlled by mobs, stalkers, racist; driving out those, they deem not worthy. Law Enforcement, standing idle; blaming the judicial system, making excuses.
Our schools, public venues; being stormed by those waiving weapons, designed for war. The truth being stricken from them. Becoming a stigma, a mental illness, for those that dare speak it.
Our Legislator, turning their backs on their districts, as they implode. Pretending they care, keeping us occupied with lies and division. Treating us like ignorant adolescents. Filling their pockets and banks, by the corporations, they represent. Our Administration, savvy from years of the same. Government Agencies, taking liberties; with no accountability. Our Nation; descends further into chaos and anarchy.

The egregious, obscene -- and all too commonplace -- death of an unarmed black man by a white police officer in the United States was recorded by a woman's cellphone in Minneapolis and viewed by millions.
As a result, the heinous death of George Floyd has struck a collective nerve in America and around the world so severely, not even a pandemic without a vaccine has deterred people from publicly expressing their demand for accountability against police brutality and institutional racism. At the time of this posting, protests in America have continued for 12 consecutive days since the lynching.
This image shows the confrontation between protesters and the police in the Capitol Hill neighborhood of Seattle.
If interested, you can view my latest photo essay featuring images of the protests in Seattle against police brutality and institutional racism this week in my blog article: "The Pandemic, The Pandemonium & The Protests."
Please be well, be safe, and be mindful.
As I reach out with heart and soul, trying to improve the conditions, expose the fraud, waste, corruption, mobbing, harassment and whistleblower retaliation here in Yosemite; I’m told “we are sorry to learn of your frustration”. Frustrating my ass; it’s criminal and that’s putting it mildly, this crap has been going on for over ten years. Using words like frustrating is another way to try and minimize what actually goes on here. The ground work for cover-up has begun. As my neighbors, coworkers, managers and others that live and work in the park continue their Community Mobbing, Harassment and Retaliation.
Yosemite will remain Extremely Toxic and Corrupt until there is common sense and accountability. Why is that so hard to understand? Until then, you may want to leave your dignity at the gate.
Putting the haters to the side, look at what a beautiful day it is. This was taken with 9 images. I had my head in the clouds. Now you see why I fight so hard, so people can be treated with dignity here.

Thank you and Flickr for giving me the opportunity to expose the Truth. Doing so, is becoming more dangerous each and every day, in the United States.
All you Nazis, Fascists, MAGAs, Republicans, and all other categories of Americans who abuse the law, cause people of the world harm, who steal our data, who take away jobs and healthcare from millions, who kidnap and deport innocent people to foreign prisons, who take away women's rights, who think compassion is a weakness--YOUR day of judgement is coming. You will pay for your crimes against humanity, for lives lost.

Am 13. Dezember 1937 besetzten japanische Truppen die chinesische Hauptstadt Nanjing. Doch es reichte ihnen nicht, die Stadt unter ihre Kontrolle zu bringen, zu zerstören, zu plündern und zu brandschatzen. Das Massaker von Nanjing, bei dem in kürzester Zeit 300.000 Menschen ermordet und 20.000 Mädchen und Frauen vergewaltigt wurden, war eines der schlimmsten Kriegsverbrechen in der Geschichte der Menschheit. Dabei geht es nicht alleine um die Zahl der Opfer, es geht auch um die Leidenschaft, mit der hier „zu Werke“ gegangen wurde. Es gab Wettbewerbe, wer als erstes 100 Menschen mit dem Schwert enthauptet hatte und ähnliche Grausamkeiten. Bis zum heutigen Tag wurde niemand für diese Kriegsverbrechen zur Rechenschaft gezogen, es gab nie eine offizielle Entschuldigung. Chinas Haltung hierzu ist erstaunlich, denn es wird keine Entschuldigung, Bestrafung oder gar Entschädigung gefordert, viel mehr will man nach vorne schauen und die guten Beziehungen zu Japan weiter pflegen. Eine Gedenkstätte von gigantischen Ausmaßen soll jedoch das Ganze vor dem Vergessen bewahren.

On December 13, 1937, Japanese troops occupied the Chinese capital of Nanjing. But it wasn't enough for them to simply take control of the city, destroy it, loot it, and burn it down. The Nanjing Massacre, in which 300,000 people were murdered and 20,000 girls and women raped in a very short space of time, was one of the worst war crimes in human history. It's not just about the number of victims; it's also about the passion with which the crimes were committed. There were competitions to see who could be the first to behead 100 people with a sword, and similar cruelties. To this day, no one has been held accountable for these war crimes; there has never been an official apology. China's attitude towards this is astonishing: it isn't demanding an apology, punishment, or even compensation. Instead, it wants to look forward and continue to cultivate good relations with Japan. A memorial of gigantic proportions, however, is intended to preserve the whole thing from being forgotten.

UN PRC: Civil Society's Legal Push Against War in Palestine (Publ. 23 May 2025) [***Great speeches by Shir Hever and Jake Romm***]
Lima, Peru - 23 May 2025:
In a landmark development for international justice, the Republic of Peru has formally opened a criminal investigation against an Israeli national accused of participating in the genocide in Gaza, following a legal complaint submitted by the Hind Rajab Foundation (HRF).
The complaint was filed by Julio César Arbizu González (b. 1974), a prominent Peruvian human rights lawyer and legal counsel to the Foundation.
The individual under investigation served as a combat engineering soldier in the Israeli military and is alleged to have played a direct role in the methodical and systematic destruction of civilian neighbourhoods in the Gaza Strip during the 2023–2024 military offensive.
The complaint, supported by audiovisual documentation and open-source intelligence, accuses the soldier of engaging in actions that constitute war crimes, crimes against humanity, and acts of genocide.
This step by Peruvian authorities is of immense significance in the global pursuit of justice. It is not only an affirmation of Peru’s adherence to the principles of international humanitarian and criminal law, but also a decisive recognition that universal jurisdiction must be exercised—not merely acknowledged—when those responsible for international crimes are found within a state’s territory.
Crucially, this case highlights the central role played by the Combat Engineering Corps of the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) in the implementation of Israel’s genocidal campaign against the Palestinian population of Gaza. Far from being a support unit, the Engineering Corps has acted as a core operational arm of destruction, systematically reducing civilian areas to rubble, erasing entire communities, and rendering large swathes of Gaza uninhabitable. This unit, through its actions, has become one of the primary mechanisms of the genocidal machine.
In response, the Hind Rajab Foundation has undertaken a comprehensive legal offensive targeting this formation. To date, the Foundation has prepared hundreds of individual case files against members of the Combat Engineering Corps. These cases are being progressively submitted before competent national jurisdictions in countries across multiple continents, with more filings to follow in the weeks and months ahead.
The opening of this investigation in Peru demonstrates that the HRF’s legal actions against travelling Israeli soldiers are not symbolic gestures—they yield tangible legal consequences. It is a powerful precedent, affirming that no perpetrator of atrocity crimes should feel shielded by distance or diplomatic complacency.
The Hind Rajab Foundation calls upon all states—particularly those that are parties to the Geneva Conventions and the Rome Statute—to follow Peru’s example by initiating proceedings against individuals implicated in the Gaza genocide who may enter their jurisdictions.
“Justice is not optional. Justice is imperative,” said Dyab Abou Jahjah (b. 1971), Chairman of the Hind Rajab Foundation. “This investigation marks a decisive step in the dismantling of Israeli impunity" he added.
The Hind Rajab Foundation will continue to pursue all responsible individuals—wherever they are, and for as long as it takes—because only justice can lay the foundation for lasting peace and human dignity in Palestine and beyond.

Peru Opens Criminal Investigation into Israeli War Crimes Following Complaint by the Hind Rajab Foundation (Publ. 23 May 2025)
Take Action Against War and Hunger! Together, we can Make War & Hunger History!!
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"At a time when $700 billion can be found overnight to bail out the richest bankers in the world and $1000 billion can be spent on one single “war,” when sovereign wealth funds in a few rich countries alone are at $2500 billion and growing, it stretches credulity when we are told that the world can’t find an extra $18 billion a year to save the lives of millions of children and women and meet the basic needs of the majority of the world’s population."
---- Global Director, U.N. Millennium Campaign, Salil Shetty www.hindu.com/2008/10/08/stories/2008100855121100.htm
Another 40 million people have been pushed into hunger in 2008 primarily due to higher food prices, according to preliminary estimates published by FAO. This brings the overall number of undernourished people in the world to 963 million, compared to 923 million in 2007 and the ongoing financial and economic crisis could tip even more people into hunger and poverty, FAO warned.
Nearly one billion people go hungry each day, 65 percent of them in just seven countries: India, China, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Indonesia, Ethiopia and Congo, reported the UN food agency ( www.fao.org/news/story/en/item/8836/ ). “For millions of people in developing countries, eating the minimum amount of food every day to live an active and healthy life is a distant dream”, said FAO’ Assistant Director-General Hafez Ghanem.
The globalisation had to ensure the maximum good for the maximum numbers around the world and not just the privileged few who got richer under the corrupt political regime. It is true that every successful economy is a market economy, the problem lay in the way it evolved in the corrupt regime which privatised profits and socialised losses. That is not capitalism. The current crisis showed that system was inadequate to cope with the changing situation. The societies needed to practise social responsibility throughout their business, ensuring that they did not make profits by harming lives, livelihoods and the environment.
Eight years ago, in 2000, leaders of 189 countries signed the Millennium Declaration agreeing to do everything in their power to end poverty. They pledged to do this by achieving the Millennium Development Goals, a roadmap to end extreme poverty by 2015. Are we even half way to meeting the eight Millennium Development Goals?
Still, every day, 50,000 people die as a result of extreme poverty and the gap between rich and poor people is increasing. Nearly half the world’s population live in poverty, 70% are women.
In war and conflicts, every year thousands of people killed, wounded or displaced includes infants, toddlers, boys, girls, house wives, grandmothers, mothers, fathers, grandfathers, sisters, schoolteachers, factory workers, healthcare workers, agriculture workers, sales girls, graphic designers, software writers, call centre employees, dancers, day care providers, construction workers, babysitters, musicians, singers, bakers, restaurant workers, cab drivers, maidservants and many more. Thousands of soldiers have been killed and hundreds of thousands more have suffered severe physical and psychological wounds. And God Left Third World A Long Time Ago.
We have the power to change this. Push your governments for peace, more and better aid, debt cancellation, education for all boys and girls, healthcare, trade justice, gender equality and public accountability.
Let us tell the political gamblers
that we hate their ways of war and destruction!
Arise and tell the war mongers
what we need are tools to work and freedom from hunger!!
Say No To Unfair Social System!
Say No To Corrupt Political Regime!!
Say No To Unfair World Order!!!
Say No To Unfair Trade!!!!
Fight for peace!
Fight against hunger!!
We can make 'War, Terrorism and Hunger History' in our lifetime!!!

The goal of spiritual direction is spiritual formation—the ever-increasing capacity to live a spiritual life from the heart. A spiritual life cannot be formed without discipline, practice, and accountability. There are many spiritual disciplines. Almost anything that regularly asks us to slow down and order our time, desires, and thoughts to counteract selfishness, impulsiveness, or hurried fogginess of mind can be a spiritual discipline.
