Thank you, Martin! Exactly how I am feeling! My resolve to hold the line, so to speak, has not wavered! I wonder where this comes from? Deep inside my soul, and why I feel so strongly and why I have been gifted with this strength to not waver! Things I have learned the past few years have horrified me! As a great grandmother, the broken family ties leave such sadness! The waiting is agony! Justice and protection for our precious children is the bottom line! You have helped me renew my resolve! Thank you again!🥰.
Martin I just want to say again that whether it’s a philosophical, geopolitical or personal experience essay, your words reach a place in me that needs the warmth, honesty and integrity of your light. Much gratitude, In solidarity 🙏
These essays on this insane time in our world should be entered into the record of what the non-compliant experienced and endured. A reckoning and sorting out is coming soon. I thank you very much.
Grateful for this today! I read your posts at least twice. Putting this spiritual battle in writing, as you do, is beautiful and uplifting. Realizing all the world really is a stage is a bitter pill to swallow. Drinking lots of water.💕💕
Wonderful writing. It's interesting, the journeys we take to find our purpose in life. Had I not grown to the age of 60, found my intuitive husband and experienced all that I have, would I find myself in this situation where I will be called upon to help theose who have no clue? I feel gyped of my American Dream, but I feel blessed that I will be able to do what needs to be done to help others get to where we are and comfort them over their errors. This must be my purpose.
It would appear I am unable now to even post this on FB. Was ever a man so persecuted? Oh yes the 'Parnell affair' springs to mind for one. In those days though at least the Press could could sometimes be trusted to call tyrants to account. Now they live without fear anyone will call them out. You are in good company Martin & were given the name (one who sees) before you were born! God in us!!!
Since my email provider spammed your post (for my safety, of course) I'm two days late in responding. I can strongly relate to your ethical and values-driven isolation. It truly is tiring and tough going. We are being battered in a relentless storm. It feels like it'll never end. It's cruel and heartless. The tyrannical propagandists have divided us by our innermost convictions, our sense of fundamental right and wrong, our instincts of compassion over calculated coldness, authenticity over falsehood, truth versus lies. Heck, even my email provider has sided against me - I have to wrestle with them frequently for control of my own emails. They've become the Email Thought Police.
It is always beneficial to take the time to evaluate where you are emotionally physically and spiritually at any point in time. Your Sunday sermons allow for me to detach from the every day events and put them in a more general perspective. When we deal with relationship problems, physical reactions to therapies, incessant images of violence and anger. It is beneficial to see the whole context in which these events take place. And how we can put them into a permanent perspective of who we are and how we react.
Martin, many many thanks for your thoughts which i find inspirational and somewhat comforting, and which help to crystallize and sometimes confirm my own 'mental meanderings'. Blessings to you and yours,

Martin - Thank you, once again, for saying what clearly needs to be said . . .

Yet. Again. Gratitude for ALL you do, be and are.

BRILLIANT
Thank You Martin 🙏
slowly waking up is painful but it can be swallowed in small bites.
"The Grating Waiting". Indeed, how will we cope?

It's closer now that we realise. Surely we're stepping through a threshold
