against abuse
today i was thinking about abuse -
people who’ve suffered it. childhoods ended by it. it has, i believe – at least, happened to all of us, to some extent. abuse of different natures, perhaps, but we have all experienced it in some form. this is for you. this is for us. i am just so tired of abuse…

Jordan, this is great work. I am against abuse, particularly of innocent children and animals. Apart from my own abuse as a child, for some years I was matron in a home for abused children …... absolutely heartbreaking to see first hand what these little ones go through. Much love to you friend. xxxx
