Kate Chiconi for Mackay, North Queensland sent to me a lovely rainbow taken over her home.
In her email to me, with this lovely gift of a rainbow, she said:
“Genesis 9:13
I leave you with the best words I know on the subject.
No man is an island,
Entire of itself,
Every man is a piece of the continent,
A part of the main.
If a clod be washed away by the sea,
Europe is the less.
As well as if a promontory were.
As well as if a manor of thy friend’s
Or of thine own were:
Any man’s death diminishes me,
Because I am involved in mankind,
And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls;
It tolls for thee.
John Donne
Vive La France!”
Please slip on over to her blog to read the whole beautiful post she did on this very sad subject.
Much love,
Linda
One of my favorite lines in all English is
‘therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls;
It tolls for thee.”

We should all of the Free World stand in solidarity with France and
just say – JE SUIS FRANCAIS.
These radical terrorists with no feelings must be somehow overcome.
A really sad day for the World.
