The Trail this morning was very quiet for a Saturday. The rain seems to have kept a lot of people away. Nice to spend some time thinking. There’s a handy fold-up rucksack in our household, which I used today, coming back via the baker’s. But it turns out the bag isn’t very waterproof. You live and learn.
We are entitled to live. Violence against women has been in the news this week. Hats off to Jess Phillips for making the consequences clear. I may not have been personally involved in violence against women, but I still feel ashamed of my Y chromosome. And I am responsible for this in some ways. Have I not sat around in pubs and portakabins and canteens and been part of the reinforcing of a toxic culture?
God forgive us.
