[QUOTE="nlj, post: 630907, member: 17650"] Phone call from my son this morning. Haven't spoken to him for a while. The squatting community position is in the balance with another court hearing imminent. He sounded well, said he'd been earning money chopping wood for a local farmer. We had a peaceful chat for a while, about ordinary things, and then he started to get worked up about social injustice and big business and the corrupting effect of money etc. Tiring. I agreed in a half-hearted way and said "mmm" and "yes I read about that" and "oh dear" at relevant intervals. He says he's going to Heathrow Airport for a few days to join a group campaigning against the expansion of Heathrow. He said they've been threatened with eviction and he's going to join in any fight that happens. I said I'd keep a look out in the news for anything about that. He said a couple of photos had been e-mailed, taken when I visited the squat last month. I had a look. They're really happy-looking! Can't believe how far I've come with this radical acceptance, and what a difference it's made to my life, my state of mind, and my relationship with my son. [/QUOTE]
