GM from the island. Just got a message from a popular Instagram photographer: "Don't reply to my original account. They hacked it". When I read it the painful moment came back to memory when somebody had hacked my Twitter account.
'History, really, is a fiction .. not because it is composed of invented facts, for the facts are real .. but because in the organization of those facts there is much fiction ..’
José Saramago
In the Incarnation, Christ models the way of Christ. A way that rejects power and an embrace of radical self-sacrificial love.
We don't follow Christ by lusting after "power over". We follow Christ by taking up our cross and laying our rights and lives down for others.

GM with a big Dominican cigar on my patio. Tolerable temperatures that will climb to the hundreds during the day. All Mediterranean countries suffer. Not only us. Gaza is on our hearts, and Hatay..

In religion, as in war and everything else, comfort is the one thing you cannot get by looking for it. If you look for truth, you may find comfort in the end: if you look for comfort you will not get either comfort or truth—only soft soap and wishful thinking to begin with and, in the end, despair.
— C. S. Lewis
Takes so much time to find people who feel and think like me, who have same interests and goals.
If you visit a shop that doesn't have the variety you're looking for, you leave it and look for another shop. You don't waste your time and take another round in that shop. And you don't feel guilty about it.
Bitcoin isn't just a digital currency; it's a very clever and sophisticated assembly of concepts and technologies forming a protocol that redefines digital transactions. Created in 2008 by the pseudonymous Satoshi Nakamoto, Bitcoin has evolved into a robust, decentralized, open-source ecosystem over the past 16 years. It’s blend of cryptography, economics, and network theory has laid the foundation for a new era of money.
A timely letter to friends..
Dear Friends and Co-workers,
It seems as if our training has been long ago. Since then all of you have worked hard, each at their place of ministry. Thank you for sharing so diligently with updates and photographs.
Although the sponsored time of internship will come to an end this month, we hope that you have the desire to continue with us. Contrary to our policy in the past, from July you will only be supported with the funds that your personal friends will send to your specific support account. In order to do that, you would need to apply for joining staff. When that is done, you will get your own account with us and a donation link with your name.
We assume that this is all new for you and you probably have a few questions. We would like to have an online meetup with each of you during these days to answer your questions. We can go with you step by step through the application process.
We're proud of you and feel honored to have you as friends, hopefully for life.
Blessings
I slowly begin to believe that I've been suppressing grieve about loss and failure most of my life. Inner freedom gives way to grieving. Late but not too late.
Something in me is continuously changing. There's a sense of being set free. At the same time I feel sadness about relations and moments that are buried by time passing. They are gone. Just biased memories in my being, narratives that you can't trust.
Yes amazing! Why did it take thousands of years of human exploration, discovery and creativity to appreciate coffee beans? The Babylonians didn't know this beverage, nor did the Romans. There's not one word about coffee in 5000 years of Chinese history. #coffeechain
