In many countries, World Communications Day is being marked today, whose theme this year I have chosen as โPreserving Human Voices and Faces.โ In this era of artificial intelligence, I encourage everyone to commit themselves to promoting forms of communication that always respect the truth of the human person, on which every technological innovation should be focused. https://t.co/q5SF19caCW
Oh no! An immigration officer!
Quick back through the airport (whizz drrr whizz drrr)
Back through the car park
(Broom broom, broom broom)
Back down the motorway
(Zoom zoom, zoom zoom)
Back to the house
Up the stairs,
Back down the stairs to lock the door, back up the stairs into bedโฆ
Weโre not going to Europe anymore.
Rotherham, England replaced 8 miles of mowed grass with wildflowers.
They saved ยฃ25,000 in mowing costs a year and bees, butterflies, and birds showed up almost immediately.
You donโt need to wait for your city to act. Start small in your own patch:
๐ก Let your front verge or sidewalk strip go wild this spring
๐ป Toss a few native wildflower seed balls into neglected spots
๐ฑ Stop mowing one strip and see what shows up
๐ง Contact your city government. One email from one person has started initiatives like this before
One person. One small patch. Real habitat.
Your street could be next.

Ephphatha.This simple and beautiful word contains Jesus' invitation to the man who had stopped listening and speaking. It is as if Jesus were saying to him: Be open to this world that frightens you! Be open to the relationships that have disappointed you! Be open to the life you have given up facing! Closing in on oneself is never a solution. #GeneralAudience
Music brings people together ๐
BBC drama #MixTape captured my heart for that very reason. I've made lots of friends n shared amazing experiences through our love of music - from the rave scene to indie.
The style of music doesn't matter.
Music is emotional n makes friends โค๏ธ
@bagshaw_pauline@SouthernCazza1 Difficult to say I enjoyed it or found it entertaining when itโs based on a true story but I did think it was worth it I reckon. Might not be for you though!
