Gustav Klimt died on February 6, 1918. On the very next day, Egon Schiele went to the morgue of the Allgemeines Krankenhaus, and did three drawings of his friend, whose head had been shaved. "Head of the Dead Klimt" is one of them.

"The vast majority of immigrants are not criminals. They pay taxes and are good neighbors...I ask you to have mercy, Mr. President, on those in our communities whose children fear that their parents will be taken away." - Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde

The joyous occasion was celebrated by two hierarchs and a host of clerics and faithful.

This is a remarkable moment. Trump and Vance sit there in silence, as a bishop pleas with them to lean on their better angels and not follow through with their depraved campaign promises that target the LGBTQ+ community and immigrants.
Never seen anything like this.

Us Quakers are fans of "speaking truth to power".
We also don't have Bishops.
But here Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde gives an absolute *masterclass*.
Seriously, I'm in awe of the courage that must have taken.
Definitely my kind of Bishop (if we had them 😉).

As a member of the Episcopal Church, I’m proud to see Bishop Budde speak this plea for humanity directly to the President.
Clearly, Trump was unbothered, but this message is truly what will guide us in our journey for peace, justice, & equality.

Such a profoundly love-centered, bold appeal to his humanity and on behalf of humanity.

At the inaugural prayer service, the Right Rev. Mariann Budde, the Episcopal bishop of Washington, made a direct appeal to President Donald Trump to have mercy on the LGBTQ+ community and undocumented migrant workers.

Garden cheer from here.
A sad tale from Shakespeare and mythology about a delicate flower that hangs its head - Fritillaria melagris.
“And in his blood that on the ground lay spilled
A purple flower sprung up, checkered with white,
Resembling well his pale cheeks.” Shakespeare

The primrose is said to draw its power from the sun and hence cures melancholy. If a person becomes “sad and turbulent” they must place a primrose flower near their heart. The “airy spirits” that afflict them will be driven away by the strength of the herb. #folklore #wildflowers
