Now we just need to find the one that does the spirits, and we’ll have a trinity worth making some noise about. :)
Music for a thoughtful day.
Da pacem Domine
Da pacem Domine is the incipit of two different Latin texts, a hymn and an introit. Both have been the base for compositions to be used in church liturgy, beginning with chant. Paraphrased versions of the hymn were created by Martin Luther in German in 1529, Verleih uns Frieden, also frequently set by composers. In English, the hymn entered the Book of Common Prayer, “Give peace in our time, O Lord”.
Our language needs to reflect concepts that correspond to physical material reality. Individuals that seek to remove females from the public sphere would have us believe that the terms on the right are somehow the correct terms – they are not – they are dehumanizing terms.
On the left represents what an accurate depiction of what inclusion looks like.
I’m wondering now. Will evidence of the “stop the count” protests be enough to cut through the partisan miasma in the United States?
Given that the Presidency of Mr.Trump was filled with episodes of ‘surely this (malfeasance ‘x’) will be enough to get him impeached/sacked/thrown in prison – with a null result each and every time gives me pause.
Just because it is ‘your guy’ in office should not turn off your intellectual and moral faculties, yet that seems the norm in the United States. Political parties should not behave like unaccountable cults.
Yet here we are in 2020 facing the real possibility that a sitting President will not concede his defeat in a democratic election. Boggles the mind.
