Songs don’t save the world. They save people. …And people do the rest.

I found the comments on the last post about bird names in other languages fascinating! Today pictures of long-tailed tits - there must be some good names for these little, charismatic, unstoppable, insect-guzzling miniature forces of nature! #Birds #UKWildlife #WildlifePhotography

Just listening to Murder Most Foul by Bob Dylan and reflecting on that sad Friday night (in UK) in November 1963 when the assassination of President John Kennedy was breaking news and feeling “How *dare* Trump add his name to the Kennedy Centre Memorial?” open.spotify.com/track/1LfTvT...

“Nothing living should ever be treated with contempt. Whatever it is that lives, a man, a tree, or a bird, should be touched gently, because the time is short.” - Elizabeth Goudge

In meditation you shall become more and more aware of the true nature of the creation. You shall begin to see the unity that binds all in the Thought that created all. – Q’uo https://www.llresearch.org/channeling/1986/1022

Just finished writing a pop song for my band. Always a good feeling. I think the last time i finished one was around 4 months ago but i have a few others that are almost there that i also intend to finish.

Success is revealing Politicians may be hypocrites or liars or persuasive salesman But how do we know? Usually when they’re successful Having gained power they unmask themselves We then see the malignant narcissist distinguished from the server of the community Nasty or Nice Too late

Happy HumanLIght Day! "HumanLight is a secular holiday that focuses on the "positive, secular human values of reason, compassion, humanity and hope". For all our brothers/sisters who may celebrate this time of year without religion, let us all embrace these universal values.

It shall be understood that any portion, no matter how small, of any density or illusory pattern contains, as in an holographic picture, the One Creator which is infinity. Thus all begins and ends in mystery. – Ra https://www.llresearch.org/channeling/ra-contact/13#13

“Christmas is not a time nor a season, but a state of mind. To cherish peace and goodwill, to be plenteous in mercy, is to have the real spirit of Christmas.” ~ Calvin Coolidge (1872-1933) #Photography, London, 1948.

Dear listeners, When the days feel narrow and the noise gets loud, try a song. Not as escape — as evidence. Someone, somewhere, once felt this too and made something that still holds. If hope is hiding, it often hums first.

In #authoritarian regimes the main goal for citizens is to be obedient Not to seek for truth or freedom but to accept what you’re given by way of permitted information But in #democratic society it’s essential that authority is honest and factual because consent of the people is the basis of law

The sun was shining so perfectly on my veg puttu thali, I had to take a picture of it. Glorious.

#ArtAdventCalendar day 22. The cosmic web. This is what the universe looks like on very large scales. The individual galaxies are very exaggerated in size. But this serves to illustrate the filamentery nature of the cosmos.

Likely nothing. Not trying to be bitter or miserly, I just haven't got money for anything right now. I made Yule gifts for my family using stuff I already had (stash busting FTW!) but that's it. Might splurge on groceries and get a cheesecake.

The greatest single practice for bringing seekers into more and more direct awareness of their role here within the planetary rise in vibration is simply to be, to be the deepest and most profound and true self of which one is capable. – Q’uo https://www.llresearch.org/channeling/1999/0207

A lo o o ong MASTERPIECE 🥳 youtube.com/watch?v=XiBH...

Pretty much decided there are too many podcasts so have more or less gone back to just listening to music. The closest I get to talking is BBC 6 Music.

Seems like 60 Minutes needs to do a 60 Minutes piece on the destruction of 60 minutes. @60Minutes #CBSNewsMAX @CBSNews

60 Minutes journalist Sharyn Alfonsi sharply summarizes the appalling decision of Bari Weiss not to run her CECOT story: “If the administration’s refusal to participate becomes a valid reason to spike a story, we have effectively handed them a ‘kill switch’ for any reporting they find inconvenient.”

Went to see this last night at the Town Hall - a very entertaining and successful production with a full house Great actors communicating a story by Dickens that never fails in its seriousness and humour 10 out of 10 to all concerned! #theatre #Dickens www.eastdunbarton.gov.uk/news/2025/oc...

The future of human civilization depends on each of us making a single, simple choice. #Christmas #holiday #family #conversation #SaveTheWorld

I don't know when im gonna be able to make more music. but I want to

The sun is going down… it’s beginning to look a lot like winter 🥹❄️☃️🏂

As #Christmas Day approaches don’t ‘throw the baby out with the bathwater’ The baby matters The baby is central to the story The whole mystery of who we are is centred on the helplessness and vulnerability of a baby born into this world Given a name Loved Threatened Who will change things

Morning.

Can’t argue against that 👇 Unfortunately for US citizens (and the rest of us)

Wise decision 👍
