Counting on …. Day 1.171

13th September 2023

Yesterday I took part in a peace vigil outside the Excel Centre which was hosting the DESI arms fair. The names of just a few of those who have been killed by military armaments were slowly read out accompanied by a slow drum beat. Armaments kill people. They also kill birds and animals, destroy trees and plants, and pollute soils and water ways. Their noise disrupts the migratory movements of birds and other creatures including migrating sea creatures.

In the season of creation-tide it is important to understand the widespread and destructive consequences of resorting to war.
