Aren't We A Happy Bunch?
I sensed the atmosphere was much more convivial last weekend! A
handful of us assembled to protest peaceably outside Marks & Spencer in
Llandudno. We were out to support that wonderful organisation called
Viva'. - the outcome of a living saint's dedication: Juliet Gellately.
Doreen is missing on this snap, along with others. She was the
photographer! It shows you that some of us can behave ourselves by
protesting quietly and, undoubtedly, with dignity. We're not all yobs,
you know! As for Judi who organised it, she appears to be assessing the
situation admirably. Isn't it wonderful to be with even a handful of
like-minded folk? It reminds me of words of a hymn:
Blest be the tie that binds our hearts in Christian
love.
The fellowship of kindred minds is like to that above.
We share our mutual woes; our mutual burdens bear.
And often for each other share, a sympathising tear
I tell you, I'm never happier than when in the company of animal
rights activists. They are a tonic to one's soul. We complement each
other as varying regiments in the one war; and the radiances within our
hearts as we 'fight the good fight' are to my mind a foretaste of Glory.
Dear Reader, would to God that all who confess the name of Christ might
come and join us! Would to God that the hymns I once compiled for the
animals might be sung down the main thoroughfares of our towns and
cities, as we process in orderly, happy and dignified style. Yes, like
the CND once did, while singing: -We shall not be moved'. I tell you,
fellow activist: it needs to be done!
