The Morning Programme….Destination Newry… your host….Rowan Hand The man died in a house on Catherine Street……body discovered on Saturday evening…..Rimantis Tamosiunas (56) from Lithuania….gone…died in our kindly midst…. Jean Vanier, founder of the L’arche Community for people who are special….on Radio 4 yesterday morning….. “riches is not what we have in the bank…but in crossing the road to be with the broken”. To give and not to count the cost I suppose…. Nice one Jean…… Once again I marvel this morning at the one sun for all the planets…. “New Horizons” heads towards completion of its three billion mile mission to the icy planet Pluto….at the very edge of our family circling and looking into our Mother Star…the Sun….pictures will start coming back to us… Pods for Belfast’s homeless….whence they came no one can say…..large enough, warm enough to give shelter for sleep for two…. “Please do not remove….you might need it someday…give peace a chance…” the accompanying message bon the plaque attached….could such be a way forward….. The King is Dead and the world bows in the direction of Saudi Arabia…half-mast flags in Britain…..beheadings, floggings in Saudi…it is their way….. The small mercy is that in the one thousand lashes that can be handed out….the man with the whip is meant to hold the “Holy Book” under his striking arm…..a means of attenuating the venom of the blow……so I’ve heard…. Three people rescued from the mountains and cliffs of the Republic at the weekend….all well…the helicopter rescue service was busy….. Did you see the London story….the be-suited London business man….gives chase to the smash and grab jewellery robber….breaks off his brave act when the bad guy pulls a machete on him….at least he gave it a go…. And for the Greeks…… “hard times come again no more” or so they hope and think….they have voted “No” to austerity in the election of their new leader Alexis Tsipras….. not that easy guys….. an election can not give you back your place in the sun…..austerity is necessary…..the Irish discovered that and came out the other end….
