  1. A quotation from Homer

    This man who has fetched up here is some unlucky wanderer; we must now look after him, because all strangers and beggars are under Zeus’ protection, and any gift, though small, is welcome.
     
    [ἀλλ’ ὅδε τις δύστηνος ἀλώμενος ἐνθάδ’ ἱκάνει,
    τὸν νῦν χρὴ κομέειν· πρὸς γὰρ Διός εἰσιν ἅπαντες
    ξεῖνοί τε πτωχοί τε, δόσις δ’ ὀλίγη τε φίλη τε.]

    Homer (fl. 7th-8th C. BC) Greek author
    The Odyssey [Ὀδύσσεια], Book 6, l. 206ff (6.206) [Nausicaa] (c. 700 BC) [tr. Verity (2016)]

  3. اللهم إنا نجعلك في نحورهم، ونعوذ بك من شرورهم‏
    “O Allah, we deliver them into Your charge and we seek refuge in You from their evils.” (Abu Dawud) The Prophet recited it when he faced an adversary. The Metaphor: The phrase: “Place You in their throats/chest (fi-nuhurihim) is a linguistic way, seeking to intercept the enemy’s power at its source and to repel their aggression before it can reach you.
    The purpose: seeking divine protection from any harm others might intend. #DivineProtection

  4. I Came to Thee Seeking an Answer

    i came to thee seeking an answer 
    like a bird after seed
    yet what i sought eluded me
    nor did my want recede
    
    my wings had brought me 
    to the end of all i'd ever known
    torn by storms a waste thought i 
    this journey i had flown
    
    exhausted was i when i fell 
    into your gentle hand
    i snapped at thee in anger
    for you refused my demands
    
    then you showed me that the seed 
    would have been the death of me
    when you flung this bird back into the sky 
    twas a stronger wiser me

  6. 🤔 Ah yes, the old-timey religion of 6502 processors—because who needs modern technology when you can mount ancient chips on your door for divine protection? 🙏 Meanwhile, the rest of us are stuck with these pesky things called 'smartphones' and 'computers'. 😂
