Nicola Hanney RTE programme Monday night; a brave woman, who decided to waive anonymity and declare the details of her horrific experience of Coercive Control. It used to be just physical abuse and protection from the courts but now verbal and emotional abuse leaves a person exposed.

OCD – Obsessed with Writing. (Age 12 new school, it was Mr Mangan history teacher, class exam, the walls were a shocking pink. You see I had a problem, my handwriting was an obsession. I changed from backwards to straight to forward but then I had the answer, I would write with a ruler underneath but the key was not to let anyone notice. Mr Mangan stood by me and that was the end of the test for me. My writing would not have been perfect enough, for me!) The same applies to order in the kitchen, working until all work done leaving a clear desk was core to my workaholic philosophy. Aged 60’s now and the warning signs were there all those decades ago.

9th December 2023. Our world at war. Ukraine The President’s Wife Mrs Zelenska pleads for US and other supporters to have MERCY. Meanwhile GAZA is pummeled by weapons and IDF from all directions, leaving ruins in its wake and too many dead and injured people by ISRAEL; Gaza is being wiped to the ground by IDF in search of Hamas; their wish; and that of US, to have exterminated Hamas so that it never raise can any of its “snakes heads” again. Piers Morgan (Talk TV) interviews a historian I greatly admire; he used to write for the Sunday Times, Professor Niall Ferguson. I highly recommend this conversation … and reference to any of his books, his Hoover Institution talks, and so much more. To date ie since October 7th 2023 – the “Scale of Grief” accounts for people carrying out their work, literally doing their duty: 100 aid workers have been killed, 220 doctors, nurses and paramedics have been killed and 61 journalists have been killed (4 Israelis, 3 Lebanese and 54 Palestinians). We are talking about Palestine … December month as Religious lore tells us the month of the birth of the Baby Jesus. Religion is driving these wars. Islam and its splinter groups; Christian be it the Pope in Rome of Christian Orthodox in Russia. War must end. There has to be another way to stop the slaughter of innocents.

World at War: Yesterday, I suggested Cistercian Monk Thomas Merton, an article dated 2018 from the Irish Times and then his poem Original Child. Today: in order to remain aware of the horrors of what is happening in both Ukraine and Gaza … a levelling exercise of those who wish to be empirical and in control. Nuclear weapons – we need to know the details because anger can lead to trigger happy and if we listen to Medvedev Russia – he is master of threats! Did you know about Nuclear Ban Week November 27th to December 1. Being aware is essential. ICAN won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2017. Please take the time to explore. Gaza … could be the incendiary device to World War III.
