From George Fox's Epistle 43

[owithadash1point0]

Darling

I heard my own voice

Suddenly whispering out loud

into the silent air

Chanting like in prayer

The first epistle of Ø

Calling for you

My heart is aching

It is you I love

Can you feel it ?

Reaching for you

My fingers are longing

It is you I lust

To touch

Passionately and intensely

I am a greedy soul

Feel all these words I write

I hope you know

All my words belong to you

"Reflections Multiplied"

In the mirror's gaze, we see our soul

A reflection of love, or a heart of coal

As the glass shatters, our truth expands

Multiplying the love, or the hatred's hands

If we behold ourselves with critical eyes

The shards of glass will magnify our demise

But if we gaze with kindness and gentle grace

The mirrored fragments will reflect a loving space

With every break, a new reflection's born

A chance to choose, how our hearts will be sworn

To multiply the love, or the hate we hold

A mirrored maze, where our true selves unfold

"But this is the covenant I will establish, says the Lord: I will put my laws in their minds and I will write them upon their hearts. I will be their God, and they shall be my people."

Episode 7, EPISODE 7!! Only one more episode, I can't handle that. I want more 😩.

Also

WHERE THE F*CK IS BAYLAN GOING! WHY DID YOU ABANDONED YOUR PADAWAN!?!? WHAT IS IT WITH THESE NEW AGE (traumatised) MASTERS ABANDONING THEIR PADAWANS!

(looking at you Ahsoka 👀👀 because when she said about Anakin "he was a good master" that was her own acceptance of Anakin but there seemed to be something unsaid hanging in the air.... as in "I wasn't" and she is right)

and that's all we needed when we hear them...

S/t (epístola a ***; 26/1/23, 8:52 p. m.)

Todavía pienso en ti, lo hago atravesado por mil y una sensaciones; las constantes siempre me acompañan: el miedo propio de la inseguridad y la inseguridad producto de tus avezadas maneras impetuosas de tratarme. Eres todo cuanto quiero y es cierto, sin embargo, que quiero cuanto no debo: no debo quererte pues me haces daño, tanto daño me haces, que es insoportable tu ausencia e imposible ―tal como eres indómita― tu presencia.      Naturalmente hay quienes me han dicho que es mejor dejarte: que es más propicio, para mí y para ti, el que yo me aleje sin más y así me atreva a soltarte. Mas no puedo hacer cosa tal, pues tan sólo pretenderlo se siente como si yo mismo me traicionase; no como si te traicionara, sino como si yo mismo me hiciese una afrenta: no puedo, pues, permitirme el ir en contra de mis principios; pues es principio, eso es cierto, el quererte cuanto me ha vuelto hacia los sitios en que me hallo ahora mismo ―es esta existencia que sin ti no habría de tener sentido―. Pienso que es mejor dejarte donde estás ―aquí en mi corazón―, porque así puedo esperarme de ti las cosas que ya conozco y también aquellas que algún día espero conocer (aunque quizá nunca conozca…)      Quiero que sepas, amada mía, que deseo verte feliz y deseo estar también yo feliz; pero que no puedo estarlo si tú lo estás, pues tú lo estás sólo lejos de mí y yo lo estoy sólo cerca de ti; de tal modo que no puedo sino vislumbrar, o bien mi fracaso, o bien tu suplicio. Como fuere, espero entiendas que si me mantengo atrás de ti, que si persisto pese a todo, es porque sin ti no sabría vivir y tampoco quisiera intentarlo.

Mis más augustos deseos, Eücrí de Moré.

What 2 Corinthians Is all About and Why You Should Read It

Paul’s letters to the Corinthians are riddled with ministry insights. Their practical input and encouragement for many men who wrestle with the realities of ministry is very relevant. Paul reaches out to the Corinthians. He at one point seems to have received word from Titus, perhaps during the writing of his second letter, that the Corinthians had responded positively to some of his calls to…

Why do we see the beauty in others and see nothing but scars,acne and flaws we've

We do not see that we're perfect and tripping in our own way though I know many went through body shaming but It's saddening at times

Re: Crescent Lake

Dear Inquirer, There are chapters in one’s life best edited out of a public biography, or at least greatly abridged. My time, my dark period, as you are calling it, spent at Crescent Lake is such an episode. I have no wish to make public a period in my life I do not myself dwell on. I have done all I can to forget. I make to myself no recitation, and I have no intent of providing one to…
