    this one surprised me. i always thought francis was just about birds and being nice but giving up comfort like that on purpose feels way harder. made me rethink what simplicity actually costs

    Sandy, that’s the part people miss. Loving birds is easy. Letting go of comfort when no one is forcing you - that’s the real work. Francis didn’t chase poverty to suffer; he chased freedom. And once you see that, you can’t unsee it.

    Much love,

    wait, they actually killed her?? I knew the name but not that ending. can’t stop thinking about how calm she was while everything around her was losing it

    Charles my friend, I cried when they drug her into that church. But the fact that you know who she is even this far into the future tells us the power of her life - Rosa Parks was the first woman to be laid in honor in the capital building - no one remembers the name of the bus driver.

    Listened to this waiting for the bus and almost missed it. The part about her not denying how bad things were, but still saying ‘all shall be well’ really stuck with me. i needed that today

    Oh me dear, I know just what you mean - I need to tell myself that same thing every day
    Much Love
    I am, Harmonia
