Ramadan's departure is almost here. It came to us like a guest, and just as we began to feel its beauty, to enjoy its pleasant breeze, it started to pack its bags and is about to depart just as it came to us.
How painful the farewell is, and how bitter this separation feels.
If only we knew who among us were the winners and who among us were the losers. Who among us will be accepted, and who will be turned away?
O Lord of the Heavens and the Earth, we ask for Your mercy. O Lord, heal the ache in our hearts as Ramadan ends, as its blessed days and nights slip away.

There are enough people focusing on that which divides us into nations and tribes. There are not nearly enough people who focus on that which binds humanity together. Thought, free will, love of our families, the need to eat, sleep, poop, and mate.
Instead, people are focused on how to otherize the other, so you can normalize their pain, suffering, and ultimately elimination.
If Hamas had killed 7 Israelis inside of Israel this week, it would be one of the biggest stories in the world, & all over the US media.
But Israel killed 7 HUNDRED Palestinians this week, including almost 200 children, & yet there's little outrage from our politicians or media.
The power of Nostr and Primal β just some of the biggest Bitcoiners on the platform sending you zaps.
X has become a walled garden, pushing users to subscriptions and platform fees.
Nostr on Primal is a return of the networks to the people.
Nostr using Primal was my first interaction with a Lightning wallet.
As someone whoβs not very technically inclined, it always seemed complicated.
But now, after using Lightning, why would anyone want to use anything else?
