The Orkney Brewery…..

 

The Orkney Brewery Tasting Hall/Restaurant has recently re-opened after the Winter, so we went there for lunch on Monday.  We’ve been many times before…

……..but I’d never noticed the groovy colours on the metal chimney….

 

 

There’s always something fresh to notice, even in familiar surroundings.

 

And inside – it was just as good as it always is – lovely place, lovely food (as usual, I dived in and started eating before remembering to take a pic!)…… 

 

 

………..pleasant, friendly people.

 

We’ll be back….again!

Ecological Conversion

 

by Paul Elie

 

“It may be that the only force strong enough to prompt a ‘profound interior conversion’ is a mystically intense engagement with the world that is exterior to ourselves.”

 

From within the multitude of religious and spiritual traditions that seek to reconnect faith with our responsibility as stewards of the Earth, Pope Francis’s voice has been among the most powerful. With urgency, Francis framed the climate crisis as a spiritual one, imploring the world to treat the Earth with reverence. His leadership was a tonic against apathy, reuniting spirit and land, and reminding us to “sing as we go”—to carry the joy of hope amid times of struggle. In honor of Francis’s passing this week, we revisit his environmental encyclical, Laudato si’—a call to care for our common home—with this story by Paul Elie exploring how religion and the natural world might come together for shared renewal.“
