A beautiful day in Auschwitz...

It's late september and the air is unexpectedly warm, the sun smiles lazily on neat red brick and the uneven cobbles are littered with the dust of visiting footsteps. Towering Poplars tremble in the cooling breeze, silent witnesses to crimes so far removed from our sheltered security of freedom.

An uncomfortable wave of peace washes over; a cold paradox...

... a beautiful day in Auschwitz.

Epilogue

It was the year of opposites.

God had deserted us and in turn we resented him.

The economy happily collapsed our little nests of worldly security and in its wake a redundant nation wept.

The long summer of fruit cider and grilled fish surrendered to cold nights and wintry ales.

But from the ashes of  our broken homes, a new hope was born.

With tangible urgency; we devoured life, tasted death and emerged changed.

The first rule

Thought it was about time I tested the new garage band, things have come on since the old G4.
