It's cold outside and there's a cat on my lap. I don’t want to move but there's an interfaith event I gotta go to.

"Blessed are the peacemakers"
Sitting in a police cell after arrest at a peaceful protest is a lonely experience.
But please know you are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses. You are not alone but in a great community of those who have sought justice and witnessed to a better world.

God bless everyone arrested today at the Senedd and elsewhere. You are building a better world with your actions and opposing the Empire of violence and lies. I will be praying for you over the next few hours as you sit in cells. You are not alone.

Yesterday I was in court facing charges for holding up a sign. Today I'm off to a service to celebrate and bless a new minister. It's a diverse weekend!
