They can because they think they can. — Virgil, Aeneis V, 231. In Latin: possunt, quia posse videntur. In German it’s a little bit different (It’s from a German translation of the Aeneis): Diese, belebt vom Erfolg, sind stark, weil stark sie erscheinen. Roughly translated: These, invigorated by success, are strong because they appear strong.

The first snow ❄️ is here! No winter wonderland yet... I think Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker is perfect for the day. https://open.spotify.com/track/38cYmA8SF9I2FRbfNdRyVZ?si=ECgxXyxNTqGltz6ZhDMZkw&context=spotify%3Aalbum%3A2iSnhJkhjF7cusjoPYD8sx

It may be that the gulfs will wash us down: It may be we shall touch the Happy Isles, And see the great Achilles, whom we knew. Tho' much is taken, much abides; and tho' We are not now that strength which in old days Moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are; One equal temper of heroic hearts, Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield. The end from Ulysses by Alfred, Lord Tennyson

The execution of Lady Jane Gray Her story is really tragic, she was queen for only nine days. It’s believed she was only 16 years old when she was executed. Tom Holland did a podcast series on her story. https://podcasts.apple.com/de/podcast/the-rest-is-history/id1537788786?i=1000593076100

Here is another thought I had… Most cults die, they implode after some time, hearsay change the main message. Christianity is still here, after more than 2000 years, still growing, practiced by millions/billions, for some under heavy persecution and pressure. Most Christians believe in the same creeds and confessions the first church believed.
