Jiri, I loved the Czech lands more than you will ever know. I have realy no political interest in any country; I just like to see people get a fair and even handed deal out of 'the political process'. I have spiritual concerns in the C.R. which are of no interest to anyone except myself . The spiritual changes in early 2000 onwards seemed to affect many people and I hope the soul of the C.R. continues to seek its goal; freedom from tyrany.
I regret having written anything that could be viewed as 'political' ; it is against all I hold as precious in this life. Someday I would like to visit the Czech lands again and finish my writing tasks; until then I wish you good health.
Jan xxx

"Standing tall no head in the sand."

Very nice Jan,

We all should live by that- especially western Europeans.

Change

The sea at Christmas; deep blue day's,
Spring a distant desire out of reach.
Winter survival on a difficult wicket,
Steering a safe path to a new year.

Wisdom knows its a time of change;
Standing tall no head in the sand.
Not to wander far keeping home in range,
Let the holy spirit give me a helping hand.
