julen 2007 - feiring forlagt til ULO'n.

Sørlandet smiler - joda - men snerrer og. 21. mars 2008 - påsken det året - kom med snø og vind. Fra rullesteinene på Spornes kunne vi både se, høre og kjenne bølger glefse mot land og stormen feie over de svært få av oss som ville være der.

From bitter searching of the heart,
Quickened with passion and with pain
We rise to play a greater part.
This is the faith from which we start:
Men shall know commonwealth again
From bitter searching of the heart.
We loved the easy and the smart,
But now, with keener hand and brain,
We rise to play a greater part.
The lesser loyalties depart,
And neither race nor creed remain
From bitter searching of the heart.
Not steering by the venal chart
That tricked the mass for private gain,
We rise to play a greater part.
Reshaping narrow law and art
Whose symbols are the millions slain,
From bitter searching of the heart
We rise to play a greater part.

Francis Reginald Scott (1899 – 1985)
