All over Scotland people are hurting right now. Myself included. The professional commentators probably don’t realise just how deep nor how wide this hurt runs. When my partner took our five year old son to his primary school this morning half the kids weren’t there. Teachers were crying. His mum had to take him home, bewildered, and in tears. There is nothing I can say here that will lessen the hurt people are feeling. .....My last thought and the main reason I wanted to write this. This might be tough to accept but it needs to be said on today of all days. Most of those who voted NO are not celebrating. They’re looking at us, the wounded minority, and wondering how they can reach out to us. We’re part of their families and communities. The overwhelming majority of NO voters don’t want to rub our faces in it. So please don’t lash out at your fellow Scots. The hurt will pass. People’s allegiances change. There are ways to regroup. Opportunites to advance the democratic case for transformational change will come again. That is a universal constant.
