Hi just wanted to say how lovely it was to meet you all yesterday 💗
i have an idea that might suit planet Shaftesbury as well as xr , there is a global strike for climate on May 24 . Perhaps we could recreate this kind of action in our town that bath XR are doing today ? They are meeting up in bath city centre at 1.30 pm then separating out as individuals or small groups to mingle throughout the city centre. Then at 2 pm they get out their leaflets , talk to strangers , raise their banners , hold up theirs placards ®roup at the arranged meeting place in the centre for around 3 pm to create a collective non violent presence . i will get this up on both facebooks too .
Any takers txt / email me or find me on insta @xrshaftesbury , katiekazoo71@gmail.com 07876690006
Kate, I said I'd send you a poem. Here it is.
NO BUTTERFLIES
"But that was in the days
when we had butterflies"
said the grandmother in the
TV play "Years after years",
set in the future. I cried.
Part of me died when I heard
those words and still they go
round and round in my head.
That night in bed I wondered
how many more insects, birds
animals and fish would be
extinct in my lifetime.
What have we done? We had
so much - an earth with
abundant water, sun and the
fresh green beauty of grasses
plants and trees. We must act now.
It is our duty.
Oh thank you Pam , that’s really beautiful & poignant 💗 I’m going to start an instagram series calked Humans of XR Shaftesbury ( so our followers can get to know us as individuals & talk a bit about why we support XR ) & would like very much to feature you & your poem . Could we meet sometime this week maybe or whenever is good for your , so I can get a photo of your for your profile , if you don’t mind ? I’m free to meet you whenever . Kate x
