I am a former charity worker from England.

When our son was born we concluded that I would become the stay at home parent giving me much more time with our boy.

Even more so now as a parent - I advocate the concept of Lenity - a belief system where personal responsibility is of the highest importance.

I have always felt that regular prayer or worship does not therefore grant a free pass to selfishness or bias.

A person may well be a "good" christian for example but they complete this process much like learning dance moves. Yet they often fail to stop judging others or even worse begin to dictate how they believe others should behave.

Lenity reminds us to be the best versions of ourselves without it being out of touch with our modern lives.

Parrot fashion.

The title of this post for me, conjures up the image of mindless repeating.


Specifically that of my younger self learning my 6 times table. Mathematics breaks my brain, I have heard mention of a maths specific dyslexia & wonder if it applies to my disagreement with numbers.


Of all the times tables the 6’s was such an issue that I actually burned it into my brain – so much so that even at 33 I still

“In many ways a child has actually re-educated the parents upon arrival into their lives - when else do adults take the time to appreciate acorns or clouds?”
I.A Finnimore, The Book of Lenity

“There is no shame in ignorance before a higher power but there is shame in arrogance.”
I.A Finnimore, The Book of Lenity

Ian-Anthony Finnimore, The book of Lenity

“Words can be twisted into any shape. Promises can be made to lull the heart and seduce the soul. In the final analysis, words mean nothing. They are labels we give things in an effort to wrap our puny little brains around their underlying natures, when ninety-nine percent of the time the totality of the reality is an entirely different beast. The wisest man is the silent one. Examine his actions. Judge him by them.”
Karen Marie Moning

“We know only too well that what we are doing is nothing more than a drop in the ocean. But if the drop were not there, the ocean would be missing something.”
Mother Teresa
