Morning prayer . . .

Ilis Trudie 🏝 @ilistrudiepalmer.bsky.social · 2d

These grey skies,
Pregnant with the promise of rain
Join me in thanks,
For the birds that add movement and song to the morning.
For the flowers that colour the day
Till their rain-soaked petals fall to a damp earth
oft with a blissful sigh,
Thus completing their circle and cycle of life.
#WokeToJoy

A cluster of yellow trumpet flowers blooming on a lush green bush beneath an overcast sky. Power lines stretch across the soft grey clouds, and the air feels heavy with the promise of rain.

The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free, that your very existence is an act of rebellion.

"To be a Luddite today is to refuse the fatalism of techno-inevitability and to demand that technology serve the many, not just the few. It is to assert that questions of labor, agency, and justice must come before speed, efficiency, and scale," writes Courtney C. Radsch.

Courtney Radsch discusses rehabilitating the idea of Luddites as people concerned with the control and impact of technology.

The rumored picture of Trump with half naked girls reported to have been in Epstein’s safe: the thing is, everyone knows there is nothing in Trump’s character that would make you doubt it exists.

An intentional choice of name when he became Pope. Pope Leo XIII was a champion of social causes and workers, writing Rerum novarum. And quoting St. Francis is always the right thing to do. Pax et bonum. Very grateful for Leo XIV.
