I never had the opporchansity to meet Keef, and that twangs in a dischordian way on my heart strings.
There’s that saying about those who have a moral compass, or those who follow the prevailing moral weather-vane.
Keef’s moral compass had zero drift -and that (somewhat as a surprise to me!) brought me back to my upbringing as a wee Catholic sprog growing up at the end of Vietnam, the Boat People, Biafra, the Troubles - which had a huge impact (sometimes physically) on me.
My folks were WWII era, my grandparents WWI era, and I even had family born in the late 1880s and 90s who basically painted the background to my somewhat colourful life.
Keef’s morality, and dedication to his Lord and His teachings - it was something from a lost and bygone era for me, but a surprisingly welcome one.
Sometimes I’d fall into a populist emotional rabbit-hole - who doesn’t? - but most times Keef would be there with his sage and immutable points of view.
Yep, sometimes I find myself wanting to respond to a post on here with hellfire and brimstone - but I think “wot would Keef had said”….
