Rain. Silence. Mercy.
When silence becomes praise and mercy meets the rain-soaked soil, even the overlooked find their place in the liturgy of being seen. This week’s reflection honours the quiet dignity of showing up—without performance, without apology. Continue reading

There is a clarity here that speaks to the autistic soul—the Continue reading
