White Poppies

All Saints Day & White Peace Poppies seem to go together...

Why ?     Well, I remember martyrs like Janani Luwum who was killed during the time of Iddi Amin in Uganda...and the priest in France killed this year in a terror attack during worship....and all the many others that come crowding into mind who have been killed whilst persuing peace and reconciliation, or living an ordinary peaceable life...

And so, once again, this year I hope to wear a white peace poppy...if I can find one...
