To you I owe my life…

To you I owe my life Ethan
You brought me in from the storm
You warmed my heart by the fireside
And sent me into the sun

To you I owe my life little one
You found me in times of despair
I gazed upon your face just once
And clouds lifted from where they had lain

To you I owe so much my friend
Yet you are blind to the things you have done
I pray you shall grow with love in your heart
For you shall ever remain my son.

In the UK at the moment, I think all our hearts go out to those in the US after Tuesdays tragic and ultimately meaningless acts of terror. On the one hand I look at my 6 day old son and wonder about the kind of world I have brought him to live in. Yet on the other I see all those people around the world joining together in worldwide grief. To be tolerant at such a time is hard; to act carefully must be near to impossible for a nation such as the United States. Here in the UK all of of us, from different races and religions have joined those in the US to mourn. But there is an even darker side as Muslims in many UK cities have come under attack by those who want someone to blame. It appears that the majority of the Arab world have condemned these acts of terror as much as the west but many in the UK act out their stupidity and ignorance on the streets of British cities.

I hope that such acts of terror can bring the world closer together - Muslim, Jew, Christian and those like me who do not follow any religion yet try to accept all beliefs that promote peace.

To which ever God you pray, there has never been a better time to speak to him of peace.

After much delibertion we have decided on Ethan Robert. Mum and baby are now back home so I have found myself rushing about doing all the things new fathers are supposed to do. Not much sleep last night. Oh well, suppose I'll have to get used to that one.

OK, I did base the graphic on the top left on a photo I found at Tokyo Tales. It was such a wonderfully freaky pic that I just couldn't resist messing about with it and putting on the site. Thanks to Chris for not taking me out and flogging me in public - oh, and for creating such a great site.

I've been getting strange emails. First people were telling me about things I apparantly posted on message boards, then yesterday I got one that was just plain abusive. In the end I had to use my block sender option for the first time ever. I certainly can't recall upsetting anyone and I rarely post on boards anyway. Perhaps it's just kids with nothing better to do. Ho Hum.
