"Keep my anger from becoming meanness.

Keep my sorrow from turning into self-pity.

Keep my heart soft enough to keep breaking.

Keep my anger turned towards justice not cruelty.

Remind me that all of this, all of it, is for love.

Keep me fiercely kind."

Being human means feeling things deeply, and those emotions are a quiet superpower.

We absolutely love this beautiful pic of the Monastery, with all the matching red brick buildings dotted all around, so synonymous with Gorton and Manchester, & the skyscrapers of our ever-expanding city centre towering in the distance... 🥰

Another bloomin’ busy week in the Monastery Peace #Garden ☀️

Despite the heatwave, our ace volunteers have been tending flowers, plants & fresh produce, all thriving in the sunshine 🌸 🐝

The polytunnel hit a VERY toasty 53°C 😅

New volunteers welcome! 🤗

Is love about always knowing what the right thing is to say, or is it more about knowing when to say nothing at all and just listen? 💛

What use is money, a big house, or a fancy car if we don't feel safe and loved?

A morning spent in the magnificent @TheMonasteryMcr with Lieutenancy Clerk colleagues from across the UK. Delighted to present a little about the Honours Community Voluntary Service Committee I serve on alongside Secretariat colleagues and our School HonoursProgramme @GMLO_UK

As we get older, we see that true beauty has nothing to do with appearance, but everything to do with the gentle ways we show up in the lives of others 💛

We love the gentle, Japanese wisdom that people, like flowers, bloom in their own time, and with their own unique beauty – what a lovely thought to start the day on ☺️🌷
