N.I. PEACE PROCESS - shows GRITTY MIRACLES WORK

. . . .policing, parliamentary, timing details allow re-birth of the assembly - next spring - with all the peoples of N.I. having at last found ways to sit TALKING things out, to recognise a mutual democracy, a mutual judicial process, a mutual
administration, policing procedures. . . . that means a LOT. . . also,some "unusual bedfellows" in the leadership - but, thats the way peace actually works .

. . . .Much to the short-term distress of naysayers, gloom-mongers, doom-mongers, racketeers - etc, the agreement of the last three days meeting - despite its inauspicious locale, the mainstream media trying to transform it into a "celebrity clash of machismo" or the near-programmed patterns of rejection - - - - means that the "war that never was" might have found a way to break out of the cycles of violence.

THE AGREEMENT ITSELF INCLUDES THE TIMINGS OF EVENTS TOWARDS A RE-OPENING OF THE N.I. PARLIAMENT, WHEN IT IS TO INSTALL A LEADERSHIP OF PRIME MINISTER - THE REVEREND,(DUP), WITH DEPUTY PRIME MINISTER (S.FEIN) - SIMULTANEOUS WITH THE RECOGNITION OF THE POLICE FORCE AS LEGITIMATE BY ALL - ENDING THE "BOYCOTT", THUS ALLOWING PEACE TO ACTUALLY HAPPEN . . . .

A small bit of these islands that has shown the world a lot, supporting progress in democracy, science, education, religions, - all over the globe - or - in all four corners, they used to say, back when this was the top corner (- as far as you could go from the medi terra nean )

Back when the "scot"s were irish (the word "scot" means "settler", so they took the word with them!), the place was always a sanctuary for civilisation - a fallback from when romans - or later - the "1066" feudalists - or other looting enslavers tried to attack or occupy the british isles, britons, as much as people escaping from repressions all over europe (or around the mediterranean, in fact).

The "donata" were amongst these - the christians that didnt accept the dodgier new rules of some of the popes in the first few centuries of that church ( popes these days might agree with the "donata" too ! ), but it was also a place that found ways of accomodating several "different" spiritualities, religions, - gaining from all the different traditons, ways of co-operating, etc - from columba s druid / bard / christian agreements - plus - to . . . .
. . . . good to hear that good progress is recommencing ! ! ! !



watch that space!
cheers - (understatement) + fingers crossed
