Thank you Carl, that resonated for me. My initial thought was it read like someone heading towards Christianity. A Loss and a Calling. Keep up the good work.

Beautifully written piece, your style is definitely British, but not like the King or Queens British but Aston Martin British. Performance engulfed by elegance.

Best Wishes From Texas.

You know cause Texans let you know we're from Texas and not just America. We're Americans, but we're better and we know it.

Texans are very British if you think about it.

Crumpets!

The bell is a call to action.

If you will not fight to preserve what you value, no one else will, and your children will never know it.

I blubbed through the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II, not because I was necessarily mouthing her death, but was overcome by the beauty of the English Constitution.

I felt I was seeing the hidden engine of the Constitution up close. How it felt like it was descended from ‘Heaven’, given to the English as a gift to be treasured.

England is one of the few countries whose constitution is connected to God. And this was on display.

I feel privileged to be English.
