It is fine to agree and fine to oppose. It is fine to criticize or to be persuaded. But for human beings the question of purpose - to what end? - is crucial. Poem by Daisaku Ikeda.
For me - to see my beautiful son surf for the first time, to see him happy, fulfilled and tired and to have a laugh with my amazing daughter and watch her befriend a lonesome dog on the beach and later, count all the baby gannets in their nests - these things made the venue sing to the right tune for us.
Thanks Jane. Nice one.
