MOO RIVER

Prince Harry and Meghan are so so brave aren't they, choosing love and the survival of a relationship over all else? Money and fame can ease a helluva lot of pain but ultimately it never makes anyone: happy.

Andrew and all his imaginary (and real animals!) wish them well on their journey.

Moon river, wider than a mile
I'm crossing you in style some day
Oh, dream maker, you heart breaker
Wherever you're goin', I'm goin' your way
Two drifters, off to see the world
There's such a lot of world to see
We're after the same rainbow's end, waitin' 'round the bend
My huckleberry friend, moon river, and me


As a P.S. to this post:

I didn't know anything about this Mail on Sunday "Instagram animal thing'. Truly I didn't when I posted the above. Does anyone honestly believe that Prince Harry would intentionally manipulate images of animals to glorify himself? !  Get real. And you wonder why the Royal couple stepped down from their duties. I actually find it deeply personally offensive that a British newspaper could insinuate that Prince Harry would be in any way betray his beliefs in wildlife and climate preservation. I have no problem with reporting factual correct info as did The Mail on Sunday. But cut the sanctimonious 'bs' of reveling in Royal 'bs'.

Attack privilege by all means. But not belief. Has anyone seen that episode of The Good Place where  they don't understand why really 'good people' don't earn enough points to get into the 'GOOD PLACE' ? So they go to Canada (yes this is real in TV land:) to meet the man who would walk naked after the rain so that the mosquitoes didn't go hungry.

Please leave Harry alone you MFFFFF's and get a life. Most of you wouldn't have enough points to arise from your own dog turd to get into any life above what you live.

I know you all and will awhile uphold....

As a PPS : that iconic photo o Dorothea Lange- Migrant Mother. I've cited this example before, before. But new to many. The subject in question bore something like 6-8 kids. MoMA actually did a brave show whiles ago analysing this. All the contact sheets were presented. But 1 migrant MUM and 2 hungry kids worked as an icon. As a photo. As a belief. I always have deep suspicion about war photos/the exotic etc etc . And the great snappers of those realms speak honestly and lucidly about how they cannot be humanitarians in such situation.

Many will disagree. Honestly: it isn't that hard to get an award winning photo from such situations. What is hard is actually have bravery to be there, be observant. Be, not detached, simply workmanlike. Dressing the wound. Though you don't. Observe it. Weep inside.
