glow of morning light
through plastic

Temper not
Righteous Rage
when Justice malformed
oppresses the people & places
we're Called to not only free
but with whom our Liberation depends

Inspired by being loud when silence subjugates …

#MicroReflection
May we choose courage amid broken systems harming communities. We speak together, resisting comfort that protects harm to others. Shared anger, guided by care, becomes our response to repair rather than destroy. We stand alongside neighbours, knowing change grows through relationship, risk, and voice. When quiet agreement sustains cruelty, we must challenge honestly to open pathways toward dignity. We act neither alone nor above others, instead as companions whose futures intertwine. Hope emerges through persistence, accountability, and mutual trust. Such commitment demands sacrifice, patience, and attention. Through collective action, we nurture healing, fairness, and belonging, shaping a just and common good.

The House We Sheltered In and The Masks We Wore: A Pandemic Picture Book

A picture book celebrating the joys of homebound life and the collective heroism of our fight against COVID-19.

Can you tell me who I might cry for, when tomorrow becomes today? Who will I miss, when the sunrise casts a shadow on a world with one life less to light my way? #poetry #micropoetry

The surface
where kindness reveals
our interdependence
may seem beyond reach
by intolerant voices
We rise
when offer freely
what we hope to receive

Inspired by choosing to live joyfully …

#MicroReflection
How do we choose a life shaped by generous attention to one another?

We learn that shared life grows when care is given without bargaining or fear. Even when harsh speech seeks to narrow hope, we can answer with open hands and steady courage. Joy becomes a practice as we act for the good of neighbours, trusting that what we give returns in changed community. We are strengthened by choosing welcome over suspicion, patience over haste, and grace over defence. In this way, we discover that flourishing is never solitary but built together through daily choices to act with generosity of spirit and hope that abides in one another.
