Blood Swept Lands and Seas of Red is from a poem by a young man who died in the First world war and is the name given to an powerful tribute to all those that died. The number of poppies was 888246 being the number of men and women that died from Britain and the commonwealth.
I drove over to London to see them before they were taken down. I glad I did as there was were still a lot of poppies and people - and it was very moving.
I took Adam's Earth to help the healing of this huge wound in our psyche - with the main prayer that there is NO MORE WAR.
It is now 100 years after the catastrophe in France 1914 - 1918. NEVER AGAIN.
