Recently Jane Fonda was given another award. At the presentation she said a few things which challenge all of us pensioners. Her challenge is for us to stand up and be the defenders and the glue promoting and enhancing localism. Here are some things she said:
- It’s OK to be a late bloomer as long as you don’t miss the flower show?’ I’m a late bloomer and this is my flower show.
- And woke just means you care about other people.
- A whole lot of people are going to be hurt by what is coming our way and, even if they are from a different political persuasion, we need to call upon our empathy and not judge and welcome them into our tent – because we are going to need a big tent to resist successfully what is coming at us.
- This is big-time serious, so let’s be brave … we must not isolate, we must stay in community, we must protect the vulnerable, we must find ways to project an inspiring vision of the future, one that is beckoning and welcoming … let’s make it so.
Wow , great speech and sentiments. Thanks for sharing.
