its happening somewhere NOW
Nov. 20th, 2007 10:13 amI've been keeping a lid on thoughts and imaginings about animal abuse, torture, etc etc this last week; my latest ploy is to tell myself I have a head injury and they are symptoms ie part of a healing process. It actually worked!
Things were going OK until last evening when I opened an envelope containing a calendar from 4Paws, one of the animal abuse concerns that I support. Out fell a graphic description of the torment of the bears in Bulgaria, used for dancing, and "fighting" packs of dogs. I knew about it already...one stubborn image I have is the injured bears chained to the backs of the owners' lorries, forced to keep up.
So there followed a typically bad evening; I didn't even start painting till late.
I don't know what I'd do without Alan to phone and rant about this seething Hell that we call our world. As we've been close friends for 20 years he is well used to what he says is often me being a victim of my own imagination, tho he totally sympathises with the causes for concern.
