And 'twould be a difficult feat indeed to find a more fitting symbol of and mascot for this blogsite than the words of the 'late, great' Johnny Nash who died today: I Can See Clearly Now...

So indulge me a little as I pay my own small tribute to his memory by reciting the simple but profound words of that wonderful little song that has 'ever after' remained in memory's hallowed chambers...

...a song with a message which has never seemed more timely and apt for the world we find ourselves in.

I can see clearly now the rain is gone

I can see all obstacles in my way

Gone are the dark clouds that had me blind

It's gonna be a bright, bright, bright sunshiny day


Oh, yes I can make it now the pain is gone

All of the bad feelings have disappeared

Here is that rainbow I've been praying for

It's gonna be a bright, bright, bright sunshiny day


Look all around, there's nothing but blue skies

Look straight ahead, there's nothing but blue skies


(Etcetera)


As I so often say elsewhere, having nothing else to add,


Nuff Said! (Yes, 'that's all she wrote', folks, it most definitely is.)

 So far, so good...for verily the foolish of spirit do indeed rush in where 'the better angels of our nature' would tremble to even tread... Postscript (January 2023) Regrettably I was gravely mistaken.  (Biden might arguably be a better man/human being than Trump - that's hardly saying an awful lot!  - but his handling of foreign affairs is comparatively woeful.) Like Ronald Reagan, criticize Donald J Trump all you like - and I/Yours Truly certainly do/es - but if you examine the record, neither man started WW111, did they...

If 'the Donald' Does Indeed Secure Another Victory Today - as Initial Reports Thus Far Indicate Could Well Be Possible - Then, Hey, Provided He Doesn't Initiate (or Become Embroiled in) WW111, We Might Well Decide with the Deep Wisdom of Hindsight It Was Worth It All...

A pretty high bar to set for an American president, as my brother told me awhile ago... but perhaps not too high, in that nobody but nobody relishes the prospect of the literal end of life as we know it upon Planet Earth...
