"Language can be used to:

•••• conceal violence,
•••• obscure and mitigate offenders’ responsibility,
•••• conceal victims’ resistance, and
•••• blame and pathologise victims.

Alternatively, language can be used to:

•••• expose violence,
•••• clarify offenders’ responsibility,
•••• elucidate and honour victims’ resistance, and
•••• contest the blaming and pathologising of victims."

"Especially now, when trauma is so ubiquitous and intentional traumatization toward conflict is seeded in community spaces by those who seek to control popular economics...

...we must prioritize respectful relationship with all whom we wish to accurately interpret.

Without that relationship -- without knowledge of the language and context of communications -- any judgments we make are based on little to nothing.

Human trafficking interests, perpetrator networks, and predatory opportunists want you to jump to conclusions.

They want you to misunderstand one another, get triggered, make fear-based assumptions, reject challenging or uncomfortable dialogues, and choose only what feels like the safest, socially approved option.

But marketing manipulation fabricates the feeling of safety and social approval where they don't necessarily exist.

In fact, there's big money in it.

How can we know one another better?

How can we exercise patience, kindness, and respect for one another's unique languaging and lived experiences?

How can we create the truer safety of relational integrity and collaborative fluency in our interactions with one another?

How can we attune with other living beings and really learn deeply about the world we're in -- even when what we learn can at first seem unsettling or scary?

We build the most beautiful successes when we are authentically communicating."

"O cosmic birth of all radiance and vibration,
soften the ground of our being
and carve out a space within us w
here your presence can abide.

Fill us with your creativity
so that we may be empowered
to bear the fruit of your mission.

Let each of our actions bear fruit
in accordance with our desire.

Endow us with the wisdom
to produce and share what
each being needs to grow and flourish.

Untie the tangled threads
of destiny that bind us
as we release others
from the entanglement of past mistakes.

Do not let us be seduced
by that which would divert us
from our true purpose,
but illuminate the opportunities
of our present moment.

For you are the ground
and the fruitful vision,
the birth, power and fulfillment
as all is gathered
and made whole once again.

And so it is."

— the Lord's Prayer as translated from Aramaic to English (rather than the traditional and typical one which is translated from Aramaic to Greek to Latin and then to English)

' The word "Eisteddfod", which is formed from two Welsh morphemes: eistedd, meaning "sit", and fod, meaning "be", means, according to Professor Hywel Teifi Edwards, "sitting-together."

He further defines the earliest form of the Eisteddfod as a competitive meeting between bards and minstrels, in which the winner was chosen by a noble or royal patron. '

"Do you know what the biblical definition of Joy is?
The Hebrew word for Joy is Simcha. And Joy literally translates as the transformative fires of Yahweh.
Joy is to be made new and to be refined through pressures and trials and tribulations.
My brothers, count it all Joy when you fall into various trials for the proving of your Faith.
What is Faith? It is the word Emunah, which means Belief combined with Works. And when you have Emunah, Belief combined with Works, and you are experiencing Joy — which is not happiness, it's not a feeling, it's the transformative fires of Yahweh — those two things lead to what is called Bitachon." (...)
"Bitachon translates as Trust. And Trust is the weakest word possible that one could give to the meaning of Bitachon.
Bitachon is complete and utter reliance on Elohim. It's understanding who he is and understanding who you are, and knowing on a long enough timeline whatever it is that you're going through can't help but turn out for the good, for the glory of Elohim and those who love him. Romans 7. Because he is Yahweh and he is sovereign over all things and his will will be done and his word will not return to him void.
So if you have Faith through Works, through the trials and tribulations of the world, you can't help but Trust. Fully know in your soul that Elohim is good and that all things work together for his good and for the good of those who love him.
So Faith, Emunah, Belief proven out through Works — Simcha, Joy, the transformative fires of Elohim — and Bitachon, Trust, complete and utter reliance on the Creator of the Universe."

' The distinction in how tea is referred to around the world can be traced back to the routes by which different regions first received the product from China. Countries that obtained tea overland through the Silk Road, such as Central Asia, Persia, and Russia, often use variants of the word "cha." This word comes from the Mandarin "chá," which was the common term in northern China, a key region along these overland trade routes. As tea traveled westward via caravans across Asia and Europe, the pronunciation evolved slightly but maintained its root, giving rise to words like "chai" in India, "shay" in Arabic, and "čaj" in Eastern Europe.

Conversely, countries that traded with China by sea typically adopted the word "te" or its variants. This is because they interacted with Chinese merchants from the southern coastal Fujian region, where the word for tea is pronounced "te" (in the Min Nan dialect). The Dutch, who played a key role in maritime trade, brought this word back to Europe in the 17th century. As a result, countries such as the Netherlands, England, and those influenced by Dutch trade began referring to tea as "thee" (Dutch) or "tea" (English). Similarly, in countries like Italy ("tè") and France ("thé"), the word for tea retains this pronunciation.

This linguistic divide illustrates how the ancient trade routes shaped not only the spread of commodities but also the global languages. It reflects the impact of geography and commerce on cultural exchange, showing how a single product like tea could influence both daily life and language across the globe. '
