The Art of War/Battle

Have no illusions. The peaceful one is the one whose tail is not
wagging. It knows how to subdue the temperamental one. May
all of us attain that state of equanimity...

Ahem ... what is that all about? Genuine?

Pope Francis washes feet of refugees for Easter Week

The traditional Easter Week foot-washing ceremony by the pontiff is meant as a Catholic gesture of service.

Thorncombe Woods, Puddletown, Dorset, England.

Before me rose a lofty hill,
Behind me lay the sea,
My heart was not so heavy then
As it was wont to be.

But when I looked upon the bank
My wandering glances fell
Upon a little trembling flower,
A single sweet bluebell.

O, that lone flower recalled to me
My happy childhood's hours
When bluebells seemed like fairy gifts
A prize among the flowers.
