As I Work Away: Notations From my "Walk-About" On the Grid On Refugees & Hope...

It has been an interesting day as it was a bit of a reflective day that saw #Outsiders release a poem from the Great Persian Poet Hafez--although I personally was busy on Twitter responding to a few interesting tidbits on the US Campaign Trail as yet again Clinton Emails and the Clinton Foundation dominated the headlines--and Mr. Trump calling for the Foundation to be shut down.     This is as Newsweek Magazine published quite a expose on Mr. Trump.

~ Hafez

Onward to the New Week with all its' possibilities
