An Eighth Shot of Espresso: Coffee and Creativity on Mum's Third Shift

Extend the olive branch Not in surrender but in peace time to rebuild time to reset together. The conflict is hard enough But what comes afterwards can be just as difficult It is naive to expect things to go back just the way they were. Life has changed it leaves an indelible mark not only on your body but on your very soul you cannot rest as easily just as you cannot trust. It will take time and effort on both sides to live in harmony years, decades perhaps centuries No quick and easy solution.

It's so poetic history repeats itself no lessons are learned. The very same mistakes are made Time's judgments are forgotten. "This cannot happen We are better than this. The past will stay there This is a brand new future and we have changed and evolved." But the more things change and the more things stay the same People are people with all their glorious flaws and all of their true courage. Strife and hardship comes challenging the status quo justice miscarried establishment needs power to enforce the old thinking. Only much later when history unfurls and the results come will we see who is right and who is on the wrong side.
