For want of a nail the shoe was lost.
For want of a shoe the horse was lost.
For want of a horse the rider was lost.
For want of a rider the message was lost.
For want of a message the battle was lost.
For want of a battle the kingdom was lost.
And all for the want of a horseshoe nail.
– Proverb, earliest use, 13th Century
A horse! a horse! my kingdom for a horse!
–King Richard III, William Shakespeare
What have we lost? Our way? Our heritage? Our sanity? The year 2020 started out okay, but in just thirty-one days, by the end of January, there was an impeachment trial, basketball phenom Kobe Bryant was dead, the UK formally withdrew from the European Union and a global health emergency emerged. The rest of the year doesn’t look much better, the global health emergency has been reclassified as a global pandemic, which has limited sports, entertainment and social interactions … and soon a U.S. presidential election.

He brings to the table years of research, dilligence and thought that can be help us all understand what our future could be. One where the benefice of mankind underpins our humanity and helps us all care for our fellow human beings instead of a continual dog-eat-dog existence.
Let judgment run down as waters, and righteousness as a mighty stream.
Onward to the utmost of futures!
