CIRCLE WITH A DOT

From within & beyondShe's ever-presentresponding to tears & gnashingAmid thorns & thunderswe know They are amongstwhen Joy despair shatters___________________________Inspired by the Soul’s joyful equilibrium …#MicroReflection We recognise that life brings both struggle and renewal, and that a steady presence can be felt even in hard moments. We hold this awareness as a shared anchor, helping us stay open to hope when things feel heavy. We see that endurance and gladness are not opposites but part of a wider balance shaping our lives. Together, we seek a calm centre that honours pain and growth, leading us towards kindness, deeper connexion, and patient care each day in simple ways that build trust, bring courage, and guide our actions with gentle attention and respect for others and ourselves.#MicroPoetry #140Characters #UCCan #ShineOnhttps://adeaconsmusing.ca

Learning's Pathways rangefrom data's integrationto pattern recognitionbefore conscious awarenessAs insight dawnswhat we preferfuture decides_______________Inspired by the Universe’s whispering intuition …#MicroReflection Do we see how growth can guide us in quiet and hopeful ways? Change sometimes comes gently or chaotically, helping us move forward even when we do not fully understand it. There is comfort in knowing that we are being shaped toward something good. We learn to trust what we feel and notice, even when it is small or unclear. This brings a sense of peace and steady purpose. We walk ahead with openness, ready to welcome what may come. In this way, we gain confidence, knowing that our path is forming in a way that supports who we are becoming together.#MicroPoetry #140Characters #UCCan #ShineOnhttps://adeaconsmusing.ca

A river's calm demeanourconveys water's course sculpting landA feather's lightnesslifts life airwardTrue strength manifestsas a gentle guide__________________Inspired by strength’s tenderness …#MicroReflection We often assume that power must be loud and forceful, yet our shared experience suggests a quieter influence can shape outcomes in lasting ways. In community and leadership, we recognise how patience, care, and restraint allow growth, trust, and direction to emerge without pressure. We learn that guidance does not need to dominate to be effective, and that presence grounded in attentiveness can foster change. Such an approach invites dignity, encourages participation, and honours the slow work of transformation within people and across our relations. In this, we find a path that is firm yet patient, shaping a hopeful common life. #MicroPoetry #140Characters #UCCan #ShineOnhttps://adeaconsmusing.ca

Together, we see that real faith is not loud but steady, shown in simple acts and patient choices. We learn to put people first, to listen, and to do what helps even when it is quiet and unseen. Our habits shape who we become, and small actions build strong communities. We grow by practising kindness again and again, until it becomes natural. What begins inside us is made real through what we do, guiding us to live with purpose, humility, and hope in shared life for all people.#UCCan #ShineOnhttps://adeaconsmusing.ca@followers

@perlucidus I respectfully challernge your perspective. Honorable service is noble, whether they who serve carry job titles that imply public service or no. Cruelty, egocentric indifference, and aggrandisement are dishonorable in schoolyard bully, minister, officer and ruler alike.

Upon a wall we've painted the worldpeople loved & excludedAs you spy our creationhave we crafted what we wish to seeor shall we start anew?________________________Inspired by beginning to paint with a new palette …#MicroReflection In these reflections, I often find myself using metaphors to explore life. In this verse, life as a painting has drawn me to explore how we create the worlds we see. Just as importantly, the metaphor invites me to wonder whether what we have painted, what we have created, is in fact that which we want. This ‘want,’ however, is not about an individual, but as a collective. If what we have painted does not serve the beauty we are, perhaps we need to begin a new canvas together?#MicroPoetry #140Characters #UCCan #ShineOnhttps://adeaconsmusing.ca
