The Harsh Reality...

a very small post from Knots in the String.

There is a harsh reality elsewhere just now, and I understand if no one reads what I’m writing, but here goes anyway. It may just help a little…

I want to try and locate kindred readers – readers who might be interested in life, the universe and everything in this paradise called Tasmania at the bottom of a trembling world.

The newsletter asks for nothing from you except perhaps that you click ‘like’ and maybe even share it with your friends, encouraging them to subscribe. I would like to think I can give you some calm and a sense of regaining control of life in ever-changing quicksand.

I ‘ve just heard on the radio that Putin has invaded Ukraine and shelling has started. It may be that China follows suit against Taiwan. I can offer nothing to ameliorate fear of a global war. All I can say is take time to vanish for a while down my little rabbit hole so that troubled spirits might be smoothed. Move your goalposts in close and maintain hope that sense might ultimately prevail. I include here a couple of pics I took last week that help me believe in escapes down rabbit holes.

Because I am very new to the whole newsletter thing, I originally didn’t know how to include ‘subscribe’ buttons in my subsequent posts. Now I know better.

Hopefully, you can now click subscribe and breathe deep.

Ultimately, Knots in the String and my beloved blog at pruebatten.com will be merged and you can subscribe to the newsletter that way. But as I said at the beginning, this is only a trial. It may be that my beloved blog is my preferred way of talking with you.

In any case, all this pales alongside the news we have all just had.

I’d hoped it wouldn’t happen.

Now I must straighten my spine and give my family strength and hope for the future of this small planet.

Please take care everyone…
