Pensamentos.me/ VEM comigo!

Vivaldi translation: “Even if for a short period of time, we get stuck in our problems, and as much as these experiences leave us with a melancholy taste about life. Let us not cling to the whys […] But, how to take advantage of the time given to us.”

Pensamentos.me/VEM comigo!

“Ainda que por um curto período de tempo, fiquemos presos aos nossos problemas, e por mais que essas experiências nos deixe um gosto melancólico sobre a vida. Não nos apeguemos nos porquês […] Mas, como aproveitar o tempo que nos é dado.”

America Is Back Again??? Not So Fast …

Filosofa's Word

The former guy’s slogan was Make America Great Again, but every single thing he did dragged this nation further and further from that ideological ‘greatness’.  I would argue that the United States has never been any more ‘great’ than many Western nations, worse than some.  But, greatness is relative and subject to interpretation, so perhaps my standards are higher than some.  However, the nation was certainly at one time much ‘better’ than it has been for the past four years.

When Joe Biden traveled to Europe for the G7 earlier this month, he announced that “America is Back!”  And certainly he has brought us back to respectability among our allies, a respectability that was completely gone under the former guy, who treated our adversaries better than he treated our allies.  However, the U.S. has bigger problems and, in some ways, no we are not back.  Columnist Nicholas Kristof explains…

PLEASE LISTEN TO THE YANOMAMI SHAMAN’S MESSAGE – THE PLEA OF THE RAINFOREST

Barbara Crane Navarro

Yanomami observing gold mining site in their territory – photo of Yanomami, Alto Orinoco, Amazonas, Venezuela and photo montage – Barbara Crane Navarro

« Hey – Look at me

We see you

We tried to show you

You never bothered to learn our language

You were always looking down

We’ve been warning you since the beginning

The land is alive

This land can’t be owned

This land is us

All of us

You wanted the stones

The Gold

Your shiny things

Titles – Flags – Profits

You called that progress

We tried to teach you

But you’ve always been so greedy

Too primitive – Too savage

To understand

Now you still bring curses over the Yanomami

Illnesses

And once again we are dying because of it

And all indigenous land is being turned into

ashes and mud

Five centuries

You never looked up to discover

what we were holding in…

Positively Popular Poutine

I would make this vegetarian and am sure it would be great… thanks for recipe…

snapshotsincursive

What’s Cooking in Gail’s Kitchen? The Chow Down: Positively Popular Poutine! While traveling to Canada recently, I was taken aback by a friendly waitress who recommended a very popular dish on the menu made with crispy French fries, fresh cheese curds, and rich brown gravy. She called it Poutine. Like a deer in the headlights, I was completely frozen at the thought. So I shook my head no, thanked her, and ordered my fries plain. By the end of the meal I was convinced I had missed out on something spectacular. Practically every restaurant listed Poutine as their specialty. Some Poutine platters were loaded with bacon, others chunk lobster, beef brisket, jerk chicken, or sautéed veggies. One place even boasted “Award Winning Poutine” and stayed open til 4:00 a.m. just to meet the late-night cravings of college students. Maybe this dish will catch on, after all.

Where is your Soul place?

Smiling Little Things

A soul place is considered to be a place where one’s soul finds itself in perfect peace. The point to note here is that peace is not about the place but to be found within you. As we know spiritual awakening is not about anything related to the outside but within. Therefore you can find your soul place anywhere where you experience more drawn inwards and more authentic.

Have you ever noticed the beauty of seashells on the beach, or those smooth pebbles on the bank of the river, mushrooms growing near the trunk of a tree, they just look so perfect for the settings they are in, where nature have planted them. Can we bring them inside our household and try to make them replicate the same vibe, it sounds ridiculous, isn’t it? Nature creates a perfect setting for anything to bloom perfectly. The same is the case with…

Zabranjeni grad, Kina – Forbidden City, China – 紫禁城

Myrela

Vlasti Narodne Republike Kine promijenili su ime Zabranjenog grada i on je postao Palata muzej (Gu Gung), ali za ostatak Kineza taj najgrandiozniji kompleks zgrada – koji pokriva površinu od preko 743.000 kvadratnih metara, ima 9.900 soba i nalazi se u centru Pekinga – i dalje je Zabranjeni grad (Ciđin Čeng), a to će i ostati. Smrću je kažnjavan svako ko bi se usudio da bez dozvole prođe kroz kapiju ovog raskošnog zdanja, rezidencije u kojoj su živjela 24 cara iz dinastije Ming i Ćing. Za te vladare Zabranjeni grad bio je zlatni zatvor, jer im njihov status “nebeskih sinova” nije dozvoljavao da se miješaju s obiičnim smrtnicima. Kako je bilo moguće vladati tako velikom imperijom, s potpuno izdvojenog mjesta, ostaje pitanje na koje se ne može lako odgovoriti. Komplikovane ceremonije, luksuz i poroci, koji su im ispunjavali svaki dan, vjerovatno su odvraćali pažnju careva od borbe za…

PM Sanna Marin trashes EU dress code

Anna Van Densky blog

Brussels 25.06.2021 Anna van Densky OPINION There is no official dress code in the EU institutions, “however you are expected to dress adequately” the site of the European Commission announced. For most businesses throughout Europe, business attire is formal, which means dark suits, subdued ties, and lace-up shoes. Women’s clothing follows suit.
