Good morning from Gaza ✌️.
This is my son Imad. He is about to go to school to learn. He told me, “Take a picture of me and post it on Twitter so the world and children around the world can see that we are just like other children. We love learning, and we want to live in safety.” 💔

Last week I was in Cuba. We bore witness to the impacts of the over six decades long U.S. blockade and siege on the people of Cuba. We brought donated medical supplies, medications, and other essential items but this is not a sustainable solution.
The people of Cuba are struggling immensely. There is a dire lack of energy and fuel, leading to blackouts and water shortages. Food costs are high, people can’t afford to feed their families. Medication is unavailable or on extremely short supply.
This blockade maintained by the U.S. must end. Today there was a United Nations resolution on condemning the economic embargo imposed on Cuba. Canada must do more to support the people of Cuba as they continue to suffer the consequences of Western imperialism and interference with their sovereignty, independence, and self-determination. Let Cuba live! 🇨🇺

23 October: Remembering Leszek Kołakowski, Polish philosopher & historian of ideas, born on this day in 1927.
“We learn history not in order to know how to behave or how to succeed, but to know who we are".
“Two roads diverged in a wood,
But I could only see one track
because of my one-track mind
and the fact that
I had dropped my compass
down a rabbit-hole
while retying my shoelace
on the pathway to obsolescence.”
~ Robert Frost-Bight.
Listening to Vaughan Williams’ “JOB” recently reminded me that it was the first work of RVW’s that I bought on LP back in 1965 in a performance conducted by Sir Adrian Boult.
The next work of his I bought was the 9th Symphony, again conducted by Boult. …..
….. It was not the easiest way to approach the music of the great man especially as I was then living on my own in a converted railway carriage at a one-teacher school in a remote village in the middle of NSW.
Such music, listened to at night…..
