Ja and Nick become like brothers |
Many many lasting friendships were formed while blockading against the Csg at Glenugie northern NSW near Grafton N.S.W.
The spirit was the same in all of us. We were connected people and this was totally evident by those who remained on the front line at Christmas time compared to those that simply had to go home to celebrate the economic Christmas and keep the sham going with the family. If they had stayed and their families missed them, it would have highlighted to those that mean the most to us what our gravest concerns were.
But it is easier said than done. I have no family at all to spend a sham of a Christmas with. I cannot afford the food and I cannot afford a present for my children or my partner, let alone half the street as is common today. There are fourteen days in a fortnight and for six of these I do not even exist. I have no funds at all because I have no bills / everything is paid.
I will not owe money. Owing money is very dangerous to your health. It is a tax from your system. Reason loan companies were started in the first place. Many old folks would never use credit or go into debt, being satisfyed to wait until they earned what they needed to in order to effect improvements etc.
So the bond is strong between like minded people like this. We knew this, and we knew we were attempting to control the circumstances of our country by remaining steadfast and firm.
This is easy to do when you share the commonality of experience and love. It is difficult to do when you are bullied, oppressed and put down by others. There is no place for bullies in this world.
Earth guardians are just that .... Guardians of the Earth. The word "guardian" means to take care of for someone or something else. I wonder who that some one or something is?
