Reposted by AlexJay Hulme @jayhulmepoet.bsky.social · 23/08/2026I've been reading a lot of the sayings of the Desert Fathers recently, collections of quotes and parables from monks who lived in the Egyptian Desert from around 270ad. And there's a lot to be learned from them, but if I may, I'd like to paraphrase one which I think bluesky really needs to hear... 212633
