Im letzten Jahr habe ich begonnen, das Quäkertum wiederzuentdecken - eine Tradition, die mich schon während meiner Studienzeit in London begleitet hat.
Gleichzeitig habe ich langsam meinen Platz im Fediverse gefunden.
Ein Satz von @wess blieb mir besonders im Kopf:

Fri, March 13, 2026 QUAKER AGING "Sometimes religion appears to be presented as offering easy cures for pain: have faith and God will mend your hurts; reach out to God and your woundedness will be healed. The Beatitude 'Blessed are they who mourn, for they shall be comforted' can be interpreted this way too, but the Latin root of the word 'comfort' means 'with strength' rather than 'at ease'. The Beatitude is not promising to take away our pain; indeed the inference my is that the pain will remain with us. It does promise that God will cherish us and our wound, and help us draw a blessing from our distressed state." — Jocelyn Bell Burnell, 1989 Quaker physicist

My final Pause for Thought of the month on BBC Radio 2. Winter might finally be on its way out, but what do we do if it lingers on inside us? Quakers know experientially there's always a glimmer of light to be found in the darkness. #Quaker #spirituality @quaker.org.uk www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...
