I realised you'd still be doing plenty of worthwhile things, of course. x<br /><br />Robert, thanks.

Simply, that those offenders who previously had access to an open mind, the possibility of change, may find such an approach less available. And that lack affects us all in the same sort of way as our thoughtless treatment of the 'other' in the natural world.

But there are organisations (like CAB and the Samaritans as well as many charities) who could really use your skills and kindness. Trouble is, paid posts are fewer and fewer. <br /><br />Let us not give up.<br /><br />With love<br /><br />Rxrosellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00971482422276765335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5055598777203654547.post-84512646190013980942015-01-23T14:16:25.612+00:002015-01-23T14:16:25.612+00:00May I join the orchestra, Ro?

If you bang the drums I will pluck the harp and perhaps if there are enough of us forming that unconventional orchestra, its music and harmony will fill the spheres and make others listen one day in the not too distant future!!<br />B xxAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5055598777203654547.post-17381436406991865672015-01-23T13:49:45.918+00:002015-01-23T13:49:45.918+00:00The probation service that I used to work in has b...The probation service that I used to work in has been dismantled. The 'advise, assist and befriend' ethos is no longer fashionable. Where do people with my ideals work? It seems to me, human beings are also treated as 'other' and their take on how we live together eroded. Your earlier blog about us doing what we can despite the seeming impossibility of making a difference, is the best we can do. love MargAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
