Sad to hear of the passing of sister Shuhada Sadaqat, also known as Sinéad O'Connor. She was a tender soul, may God, Most Merciful, grant her everlasting peace. Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi rajioon - Verily we belong to God, and verily to Him do we return. 2:156

‘“Sustainability” has come to mean “making modern western capitalist technocratic society bullet-proof” - is that what we want to sustain? Instead I think we should be thinking about relationship - with nature, with each other, with God.’ - Paul Kingsnorth @seenunseenmag
“Historically the divine is at the centre of every culture… except this one. We’ve decided to pretend it’s not real. But that’s not going to work.” Paul Kingsnorth talks nature, God and his own unlikely conversion. Listen seenandunseen.com/podcast Watch youtu.be/dfWNMktE3xc

A final thought: however difficult the last few days have been, it simply doesn’t compare to having to flee your home from persecution or war to seek refuge in a land far away. It’s heartwarming to have seen the empathy towards their plight from so many of you. 3/4
