In re-enchantment we stop dreaming of inevitable apocalypse and find the permissive space to tell stories of hope.

Photo of a small island surrounded by low clouds and sea smoke, reflected in the still sea, where two ducks swim in front of the island. On the right an old suspension bridge leading to the island is barely visible in the mist. City hills in the distance can barely be seen through the mist and clouds.

I hope this isn’t true. There are times when it’s more important to put country before party. This is one of them. Burnham’s longstanding commitment to a fairer voting system could transform our democracy & counter the dire threat of a Reform UK government elected on a minority of the vote

Statement follows speculation party would not field candidate in Makerfield or barely fight seat

A horizontal photograph of a roe deer buck (Capreolus capreolus) in silhouette against a vibrant, glowing orange sky. The buck is seen in profile, standing in a field of tall grass during a very misty sunrise. The thick fog diffuses the intense golden light, creating a dreamy and atmospheric scene where only the outline of the deer and the surrounding reeds are visible. A

The path ends. The pilgrim continues. Only the lost can find the destination.
PHOTO by Amine M'siouri. A lone figure walks across vast golden sand dunes under a pale sky, wrapped in a green, white, and red flag with a crescent and star. Their footprints trail behind them, fading into the undulating landscape shaped by the wind. The desert stretches out endlessly, quiet and timeless.

“You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection.” Buddha Some days we may need strength, energy, or courage. Some days we need a little more care towards ourselves. Let today include you in that kindness.🧡 #kindness #compassion Art by positively present
Illustration with the heading “What do you need today?” at the top. Below are colourful decorated eggs placed in grass, each labelled with a different word: ambition, hope, energy, courage, strength, love, optimism, kindness, wisdom, peace, and change. Each egg has a unique pattern such as hearts, stars, cityscape, butterflies, or abstract designs. Small details like flowers, a bunny, a chick, and birds in the sky add a spring-like feel. Picture by Positively Present.

February has tasted a bit like endlessness. Infinite exhaustion, intensity, pain, stress. Now it’s March… The driven snow in March, the sun melted snow drifts that show the dirt beneath. Soon behold the new made Spring—the blossoming of all things green.🌿 And maybe for me…

We are beset by little birds. This posse was right outside the front door, monitoring our activities.
Four small birds--bluetit, great tit, coal tit and robin--perched on branches in a bush, waiting for food to appear. Phone picture so it's a bit rubbish.
