De aquellos recuerdos

Los recuerdos son pedazos de nosotros que quedan en los escollos de la memoria, en algún remanso de los sentimientos, mientras navegamos, como las botellas antiguas con mensajes, escritos no sé cuándo, que naufragan solitarias en la impetuosidad del océano. acaso para que alguien las rescate, las abra, se reconozca y le sea posble encontrarse consigo y reconstruirse, justificar los días de su existencia, igual que lo hago, cada instante, al pensar en ti, al voltear atrás y descubrirte en mi historia, en mis poemas, en mis suspiros, en mis detalles y en mis motivos. Recolecto trozos de ti y de mí, como el jardinero que desde el amanecer elige las flores más bellas, cautivantes y poéticas que regala a su enamorada. A veces me pregunto si reúno fragmentos tangibles del pasado con la idea de trasladarlos a mi…

Now Adults can Easily Help Children to Become the Solution

FunWritings

No more should we sit and worry about the problems we see

When solutions are here for us, and we can be problem free

Climate solutions were being given by scientists along the way

And now they are simplified so children can look forward to a brighter day

No more should we allow the children to look forward to seeing more floods and droughts

We should show them solutions so they can plan to work things out

Remember solutions were designed to remove the problems that are here

It is time for us to help children to be more aware

They will develop the right eco friendly habits that will change the way the environment is treated

And in the process they will be more creative and they won’t feel defeated

They can benefit from protecting earth’s beauty in many ways

False Precepts

normabobb

We know that this life will end regardless of how many years we live. In the meantime can we let other people live their lives without interference. If we couldn’t control our birth and we sure can’t change our ending, wouldn’t it benefit this earth and it’s inhabitants if we offer goodwill, peace, an end to hunger, housing and health care to all. Regardless of our trappings we take nothing with us when we transcend.

Biden urges booster shots 8 months after 2nd COVID vaccine – Los Angeles Times

“Based on our latest assessment, the current protection against severe disease, hospitalization and death could diminish in the months ahead, especially among people who are at higher risk or were vaccinated during the earlier phases of the vaccination rollout,” according to a statement issued by Biden administration health officials. “For that reason, we conclude that a booster shot will be needed to maximize vaccine-induced protection and prolong its durability.”

Pending an FDA evaluation of the effectiveness and safety of the boosters, the statement said, the Biden administration plans to begin rolling out such shots starting the week of Sept. 20 to people who have already received two doses of vaccines produced by Pfizer and Moderna. Health officials believe the best time to get such a booster is eight months after the second dose of those vaccines, the statement said.

 

 

 

The first to receive boosters will be those who got the earliest doses of the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines, a group that largely consists of healthcare workers and nursing home residents.
