19.11.2024 19:49 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0I was never on X, but one of the things I liked about FB was the choice of reactions. I could "like" something or "hug" to say "I see you and acknowledge what you've said" without "loving" what you said. Sometimes, when I post things, it feels like I've sent a piece of myself into the Void - as if

When knitting what might be prayer scarves, I use a 3x3 basket weave pattern, which I call my Trinity pattern. As I knit, instead of counting, I say "faith, hope, and love" and then I really have prayed over the scarf as I worked!
