Hanging with the amazing Tom Jones and some words.

I am growing old and I know now what life is. My grandfather told me often. “Nothing good to say. Say nothing. Better to hold silence than to create a unrepairable situation. ” Today our world needs kindness and concern. We must listen to each other.

My Ojibwa grandmother was took from home at six years old and she never saw her home again. They changed her name and they cut her hair. She wasn’t allowed to speak her native language. I asked her once. Was she angry? She brought me near and she told me. We can’t hold on to hate, disappointment and regret. They become a heavy load to carry. We must forgive and we must remember.
