Just taking a moment to share these beautiful Autumnal roses..the landing ground for a little ladybird who was ‘working’ the petals. Nature’s finest!
We all need to have a break from the noise and haste..
the bustle and hustle.
As Israeli troops encircle the sprawl of Gaza.. I realise there is no moment of ‘peace’ -
No relief from the relentless destruction and carnage going on there.
And no escape from sorrow and grief for the Israeli families and friends of those brutally murdered by Hammas several weeks ago either.
This Gordian knot - This endless cycle of violence continues, as it has done for decades, with no end in sight. The world watches.
What is the end goal??
How will this tragedy of tragedies play out??
This question affects the entire world dear friends.

I’ve been following this young Palestinian woman’s Instagram posts ( @wizard_bisan1 ) throughout these last few weeks of horror.
Despite unimaginable challenges, she’s been reporting from Gaza every single day, with bombs exploding all around her and total mayhem everywhere.
She is no more ‘safe’ than any other Gazan citizen, her life is constantly at risk.
Take a moment to listen to her descriptions of conditions for the ordinary people surviving in Gaza right now.

‘Save the Children’ has said that more children have now been killed in Gaza in the last three weeks than the total killed in conflicts around the world in every year since 2019.

Dear Friends..
I want to make it absolutely clear that I deplore the repugnant acts carried out by Hamas against innocent people.
I want to see every single Jewish hostage safely returned to their families and loved ones.
At the same time I want the bombs to stop destroying the lives of Palestinian people..Innocent children - entire families.
Brutality beyond brutality.
Tragedy beyond tragedy.
War and terrorism is a human obscenity.
I’m just a tiny voice here on my Instagram platform calling for ‘peace’ and ‘non- violence.’
That is everything I stand for.
It always was and it always will be.

STOP THE VIOLENCE - CEASEFIRE
Dear Friends..
From the wide range of responses I receive on this platform I’m well aware that everyone has their own perspective and opinions on the situation between
Gaza/Palestine and Israel.
At this point in time, I feel the most important message is ‘CEASEFIRE’. There needs to be a collective global call for PEACE.
Please Share this message
with everyone you know.
Love Annie ❤️

I had one of the best experiences in my musical life with Brandi Carlile - Joni Mitchell and all the wonderful musicians at the Hollywood Bowl last night. Brandi gave a little speech at the beginning of the show, representing our thoughts and feelings
I want to share it with you. “There’s no elegant way to describe the fear and anxiety and anger that we’re all feeling about the devastation in the Middle East. But there’s no honest way forward into an evening of revelry without addressing it. And it’s only just so that we can enter into a state of revelry together. Without me saying that I’m with you, and I understand how much pain the world is in, there’s no point to a rock and roll concert. For all of my friends out there reeling from the anxiety and generational fear that this is causing, I want you to know that you’re safe tonight, and we love you… We should also never underestimate the power of 16,000 collective souls, 16,000 people desperately wanting peace and non-violence. If you can compel your creator in whatever way you can compel your creator, however you believe, (and) pray for peace and non-violence for Israelis and Palestinians. … Let me and my friends on stage tonight be an elixir for your troubled souls. We came here to you with the only gift that we know how to give, which is music, and we plan to lay it down at your feet. I also want you to know, it’s OK to feel joy tonight. It’s OK to smile and laugh and sing and dance. We’re here collectively to have fun, and to be powerful and innocent together, pals. Peace. That’s our intention tonight — peace.”

Dear Friends..
As a ‘humanitarian’ who tries my best to follow the basic principle of ‘non - violence’
I can never be ‘indifferent’ to the world events that cause unspeakable suffering. My heart breaks for EVERYONE who is caught up in these cataclysmic circumstances. The ONLY thing I would wish for would be a peaceful world with the end to warfare, terrorism and violence. THAT would be HEAVEN on Earth.
I’m sharing a statement given by the UN relief Chief Martin Griffith today.
It’s worth reading… Love Annie ❤️
