oh, and also...

With so many parts of the world burning or flooding and so many people fleeing their countries, I ask myself why can't the planners, architects, billionaires and politicians decide to build permanent structures for the displaced. It seems as though so many people are never going to be able to go home again. Places may just as well be built that are safe and productive for people. Children are growing up in a perminant state of fear, anxiety and poverty. They will not know the first thing about securing their livelihoods? I cannot imagine how a child growing up in a refugee camp can become a productive adult? Surely governments and religious organizations and huge companies can assist in maing such spaces suitable for real life? They can become testing spaces for survival of mankind at our best. Everyone deserves clean water, electricity and good food. Children need to feel safe and they need schooling and play and laughter and hope. This is my thought for today and many, many days.
