We face a Federal election soon and the plight of these boat people, or asylum seekers as we call them, just might change the government.

I believe we are racing towards an end though and we are seeing much of prophesy being fulfilled all over the world. Thank you for sharing your thoughtful words...you write so well by friend. Have a great day.

I had to laugh about the Italians being the loudest, (in my street too !) Mr. G. has an amplifier as voice as nearly all Italian have ! But I didn't recognize the Germans, they usually have big bellies and are not that tall, and most of the male Brits are tattoo covered dating from the 70th, lol ! There is such a variety to watch on a beach ! <br />Very nice post !Gattinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06636525277807715146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4411459508557383279.post-20997320569541445362013-07-22T22:41:08.286+02:002013-07-22T22:41:08.286+02:00Excellent and beautiful descriptions and thoughts ...Excellent and beautiful descriptions and thoughts Loree, really enjoyed your write up :)<br />Thank you!Doreenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09884510950604724356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4411459508557383279.post-4350056497414751582013-07-22T15:53:16.135+02:002013-07-22T15:53:16.135+02:00Islands such as yours have attracted people for mi...Islands such as yours have attracted people for millennia.......when I am in Greece I enjoy seeing the different nationalities that come to islands and trying to guess whether folks are from Germany or Great Britain, or Italy — I have a friend to says that footwear gives it away.<br /><br />Trying to imagine all the ships that have arrived on Malta's shores, some of them conquering, some of them discovering...<br />Amanda Summerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00942636545948440422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4411459508557383279.post-9681329626293537462013-07-21T11:14:19.460+02:002013-07-21T11:14:19.460+02:00Beautiful and thoughtful post, thank you

Proof of this , his visit to Lampedusa ... the very first island that these, boat people, as you called them, encounter on their long journey towards what they hope is a better world. There's a saying in Maltese which says, "il Bahar zaqqu ratba , imma rasu ibsa", translated: The sea has a soft belly but is also headstrong. I hope you get the connection, it is a saying my mum always used especially when she heard of Sea disasters :)<br />Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05544319811636783606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4411459508557383279.post-37399014311376372622013-07-20T19:47:52.590+02:002013-07-20T19:47:52.590+02:00I feel the same as Suze!

I don't know for how long I have been reading your beautiful writing but I have seen it--the expression of your spirit--grow by leaps and bounds. <br /><br />There is much in this that touches on delicate subjects that could be easily misconstrued but your thoughtful and elegant phrasing is as crystal clear as...the sea? On a good day.
