Preemptive Intervention: Before anyone says anything foolish and harmful, remember! don’t use psych diagnoses like “bipolar” when what you actually mean is incompetent and chaotic out of this administration.

I truly believe the world is in a battle between love and hate....

So today, do something loving for yourself or another.

Keep love in your hearts... love is strong.

Frog knocked at Toad’s door. “Toad, wake up,” he cried. “Come out and see how wonderful the winter is!”

“I will not,” said Toad. “I am in my warm bed.”

Some days just feel heavy, and everything can feel like more effort than usual

Music can help shift your headspace - even a little 🎧

The right song won’t fix everything, but it can soften the moment and help you feel less alone

San Thome Cathedral in Chennai.

Dedicated to St Thomas the Apostle, who declared Jesus to be 'My Lord and My God' and, tradition has it, brought the Christian church to South India

Definitely featuring in my sermon today...

And day to day, life's a hard job, you get tired, you lose the pattern. You need distance, interval. The way to see how beautiful the earth is, is to see it as the moon. The way to see how beautiful life is, is from the vantage point of death.
