Thought For The Day.

 

Wednesday: It has rained steadily all day. I haven’t got anything much to say. I saw on the News that astronaut Michael Collins has died aged 90. He was a great man, the man who orbited the moon on his own while his two friends Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin explored the lunar surface. I thought I’d just give you one little quote by Michael Collins that has a huge message which sadly the politicians choose to ignore.

“I really believe that if the political leaders of the world could see their planet from a distance of, let's say 100,000 miles, their outlook would be fundamentally changed. The all-important border would be invisible, that noisy argument suddenly silenced. The tiny globe would continue to turn, serenely ignoring its subdivisions, presenting a unified facade that would cry out for unified understanding, for homogeneous treatment. The earth must become as it appears: blue and white, not capitalist or communist; blue and white, not rich or poor; blue and white, not envious or envied.”
