The wind forgets no name
it carries whispers home
We speak, and silence blooms again
a circle, never alone.

the quote from William Penn is set against the background of a soothing grey-blue sky.
“A good end cannot sanctify evil means; nor must we do evil, that good may come of it.
It is as great presumption to send our passions upon God’s errands, as it is to palliate them with God’s name.” A quote from William Penn (1644–1718).

An image of a wall bearing the words of George Fox 'walk cheerfully over the world answering that of God in every one', but the final word is missing, having fallen
Walk cheerfully over the world answering that of God in every... ? The last word has fallen down. I suggest a different ending every week. For week commencing 22nd March, I suggest 'squirrel'

Life with M.E. aka myalgic encephalomyelitis, sucks. My world has become so small. Off to Quakers this morning. Even sitting in silence, in my wheelchair, for an hour, is tiring. Whose plan was this anyway? I want a refund

Over the past year I’ve found myself rediscovering Quakerism - something that began during my university years in London.
At the same time, I’ve slowly been finding my place in the Fediverse.
A post by @wess stuck with me:
“The Quaker tradition is the Fediverse of Christianity.”
That post […]
On a soft green background is a quote from Janet Mustin, a 1992 American Quaker and artists. The quote reads: The artist and the Quaker are on the same internal journey. Each is seeking a relationship with the Divine, and each is seeking a way to express that relationship. There are just many different ways of expressing it.
The Public Lecture at Ireland Yearly Meeting this year, entitled "Events from the Real World", will be delivered by artist Brian Maguire. Further information can be found on our website: quakers-in-ireland.ie/ireland-year...
