Hope you're all, O.K......

I got back from Ireland at 6 a.m this morning, after travelling all  night,  
and went straight to bed. I've just woken and turned on the news  and found 
out about the explosions in London.... 
 
I sincerely hope anyone on the mailing list who found themselves in London,  
or any of your friends and family there,  are all  O.K...
 
 
I know that I shall meet my fate
Somewhere among the clouds  above;
Those that I fight I do not hate,
Those that I guard I do not  love;
My country is Kiltartan Cross,
My country men Kiltartan's  poor;
No likely end could bring them loss
Or leave them happier than  before.
Nor law, nor duty bade me fight,
Nor public men, no cheering  crowds;
A lonely impulse of delight
Drove to this tumult in the  clouds;
I balanced all, brought all to mind,
The years to come seemed  waste of breath,
A waste of breath the years behind
In balance with this  life, this death.
(W.B.Yeats)
