bromeliads are like the octopuses 🐙 of the plant world. The mother plant has her pups and slowly dies down as she feeds them. Mine is still flowering but has three babies that are growing quickly. It’s kinda sad to think about.

I just got these two award winning orchid juveniles. I can’t wait to see them grow up!

We do not have to chase God’s presence. Sometimes we simply have to become still enough to notice it.

We are each a small square of light in a vast and holy mosaic. No single life carries the whole burden of the world, yet every quiet act of kindness, every honest word, every moment we choose compassion over fear, becomes part of the greater fabric God is weaving. #fairh #prose

and when the world tries to troubleshoot you, asks if you’ve become “too much,” say yes, perhaps— but i was never meant to run at half power.

Stand where you are planted. Turn gently toward the Light. Do not fear smallness. Bloom anyway.

Today’s Quaker Hot Take: Gerrymandering is a form of political dishonesty and violence. If your ideas cannot survive a fair map, perhaps the problem is not the electorate.

Simplicity is not the rejection of beauty. It is the refusal to be ruled by noise. A tree does not strive to bloom. The sea does not hurry itself toward the shore. The small bird does not ask permission to sing.

Living in tune with God’s righteousness will often set you out of step with mankind’s expectations. People measure success by noise, by image, by who agrees with them. God measures differently—by truth, by integrity, by the unseen posture of your heart. And those two paths don’t always overlap.

It always strikes me that God seems most at home in the low places—in smallness, in honest humility, in people who know they don’t have it all figured out. When we stop trying to tower over others, we finally become spacious enough for wisdom to live and grow in us. “A Meetinghouse for One.”

I named this one “ Void the stars run quietly. #art #digitalart #writerscommunity #poetry #poems

Sometimes, something gorgeous shows up on the ordinary. Like this little bridge I found on the trail.

If your theology requires an enemy, it isn’t theology — it’s insecurity with branding.

Calling civilian deaths ‘collateral damage’ won’t soften the testimony against you. Every euphemism is just another brick on the gallows of truth.
