Do we live in the steady peace of God, a peace down at the very depths of our souls, where all strain is gone and God is already victor over the world, already victor over our weaknesses?

Thomas Kelly, "The Simplification of Life"

The Burning Bush has been kindled in our midst, and we stand together on holy ground.

Faze-os servos mais humildes, de si: E nunca os abandone sem proteção, Até verem no céu tua face em gratidão.

Thomas Kelly citado por Sara Leone em A coroa do seu marido

“Deep within us all there is an amazing inner sanctuary of the soul, a holy place, a Divine Center, a speaking Voice, to which we may continually return. Eternity is at our hearts, pressing upon our time-torn lives, warming us with intimations of an astounding destiny, calling us home unto Itself. Yielding to these persuasions, gladly committing ourselves in body and soul, utterly and completely, to the Light Within, is the beginning of true life. It is a dynamic center, a creative Life that presses to birth within us.” (A Testament of Devotion, Thomas Kelly, Quaker mystic)

Stricken, smitten, and afflicted See Him dying on the tree See the Christ by man rejected Yes my soul, 'tis He, 'tis He 'Tis a long-expected prophet David's son, yet David's lord Proofs I see sufficient of it 'Tis the true and faithful Word.

Tell me, ye who see Him groaning Was there ever grief like His? Friends through fear, His cause disowning Foes insulting His distress Many hands were raised to wound Him None would interpose to save But the deepest stroke that pierced Him Was the stroke that Justice gave.

Ye who think of sin but lightly, Nor suppose the evil great Here may view its nature rightly Here its guilt may estimate Mark the sacrifice appointed See who bears the awful load 'Tis the Word, the Lord's anointed Son of Man, and Son of God.

Here we have a firm foundation Here the refuge of the lost Christ, the rock of our salvation Is the name of which we boast Lamb of God, for sinners wounded Sacrifice to cancel guilt None shall ever be confounded Who on Him their hope have built.

Some musicians' cover songs reveal a plan for their careers as they decided to present some interesting tunes with their own versions of them. I agree, Laura Branigan probably didn't intend to do her own variants of so many compositions, yet her entire opus ended up being full of them. One of her biggest hits is this, well, ballad, I guess? I am not really sure how to see this tune, though I have the same problem with the original. They are both somehow an expression of the urban paranoia one can feel during the nights. However, we are never sure, on whether or not either Raf or Laura Branigan embrace this. While the entire piece remains an enigma we cannot answer for sure, Branigan infuses her edition with a certain determination Raf is afraid to show for … reasons?

These specific moments from one of the 𝑽𝒆𝒏𝒐𝒎: 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑳𝒂𝒔𝒕 𝑫𝒂𝒏𝒄𝒆 interviews have caught my attention, apart from 𝗧𝗼𝗺's handsomeness, because of what they say 💖:

𝗩𝗲𝗻𝗼𝗺 and 𝗘𝗱𝗱𝗶𝗲 𝗕𝗿𝗼𝗰𝗸 can travel through the multiverse (𝑺𝒑𝒊𝒅𝒆𝒓-𝑴𝒂𝒏 4, 𝑨𝒗𝒆𝒏𝒈𝒆𝒓𝒔? 😮), 𝗘𝗱𝗱𝗶𝗲 realises he loves 𝗩𝗲𝗻𝗼𝗺 and cares about him, they will have their happy ending (at some point) 🙏🏻, and that 𝗩𝗲𝗻𝗼𝗺 won't go back to his home planet because he's already home was 🥹

And can someone tell me what's so funny about 𝗩𝗲𝗻𝗼𝗺 and 𝗘𝗱𝗱𝗶𝗲's ending and why 𝗞𝗲𝗹𝗹𝘆 laughs so much? 😕...

Estos momentos en concreto de una de las entrevistas de 𝑽𝒆𝒏𝒐𝒎: 𝑬𝒍 Ú𝒍𝒕𝒊𝒎𝒐 𝑩𝒂𝒊𝒍𝒆 me han llamado tanto la atención, aparte de por la belleza de 𝗧𝗼𝗺, por lo que cuentan 💖:

𝗩𝗲𝗻𝗼𝗺 y 𝗘𝗱𝗱𝗶𝗲 𝗕𝗿𝗼𝗰𝗸 pueden viajar por el multiverso (¿𝑺𝒑𝒊𝒅𝒆𝒓-𝑴𝒂𝒏 4, 𝑽𝒆𝒏𝒈𝒂𝒅𝒐𝒓𝒆𝒔? 😮), 𝗘𝗱𝗱𝗶𝗲 se da cuenta de que ama a 𝗩𝗲𝗻𝗼𝗺 y de que le importa, ellos tendrán su final feliz (en algún momento) 🙏🏻, y que 𝗩𝗲𝗻𝗼𝗺 no volverá a su planeta natal porque él ya está en casa fue 🥹

Y, ¿alguien me puede decir dónde está la gracia del final de 𝗩𝗲𝗻𝗼𝗺 y 𝗘𝗱𝗱𝗶𝗲 y por qué se ríe tanto 𝗞𝗲𝗹𝗹𝘆? 😕...

Walk on the streets and chat with your friends. But every moment behind the scenes be in prayer, offering yourselves in continuous obedience. I find this internal continuous prayer life absolutely essential. It can be carried on day and night, in the thick of business, in home and school. Such prayer of submission can be so simple [...] If you slip and stumble and forget God for an hour, and assert your old proud self, and rely upon your own clever wisdom, don't spend too much time in anguished regrets and self-accusations but begin again, just where you are [...] Don't grit your teeth and clench your fists and say, "I will! I will!" Relax. Take hands off. Submit yourself to God. Learn to live in the passive voice – a hard saying for Americans – and let life be willed through you. For "I will" spells not obedience.

Thomas Kelly, "Holy Obedience"

So, when the angel is troubling the waters, it is no time to stand on the bank and recite past wonders.

Batman: I deserve to be alone 😔

Comic writers: Of course, honey, uh- I need someone to babysit this kid for a while until he gets his own run so here's a child :D

*pushes Dick Grayson towards him*

Batman:

Comic writers: On that note, here are 17 more!

*pushes the rest of the kids towards him*

Batman:

Comic writers: 'Kay, ciao! Brb after they've been properly traumatized and heated up!

Batman:

Batman: Do you like apple juice?

Having some thoughts about Edwin identifying more as a ghost than a person in that first pic. Then I was chatting with some friends in the Discord and we started overthinking things. . .
