Só você pode percorrer o caminho de suas escolhas

Pensamentos.me/VEM comigo!

Às vezes a gente percorrer caminhos errados para viver. Errados não no sentido de ser escolhas que possa trazer algum constrangimento. Errado porque você não se coloca em primeiro lugar, mas porque se coloca como o último a fazer algo por si mesmo. Quer um exemplo do que falo? Se o seu telefone tocasse agora, e fosse alguém importante pedindo para você fazer um favor, você faria? Faria, certamente.

Em grande parte, conduzimos a nossa vida através de caminhos que nos levam a cometer erros irreparáveis com nos mesmos. A gente se negligência o tempo todo. Simplesmente, negamos a nós mesmos, a necessidade de se priorizar. É comum se fazer pela mãe, pelo irmão, pelo cunhado, o amigo da faculdade ou alguém que vem bater no seu portão. Agora se você é capaz de atender as suas escolhas de forma imediata, é? Mais do que isso, pergunte a si mesmo…

Our Values

normabobb

Every moment of every day offers us an opportunity to grow. We have to look at our values and ask ourselves whether we are making a positive contribution to the wellness of Mother Earth. Our health depends on the health of Mother Earth. We are not here to appropriate and exploit, we are here to discover our purpose. What we reap depends on the seeds we sow.

The End of the Bend

You Lil Dickens

My little toes dancing on the water

Sand slipping through my fingers

Smell the sunscreen on my skin

Fireflies in jars — glowing

One look — everything was flowing

***

You made everything beautiful, like I knew you would

Made everything sound so good

No time to try — only time to fly

We get just the one life

Make it count

Be a tumbleweed in the wind

Nature is the answer for my spirit to send —

Send me to the end of the bend

Thoughtful Thursdays, Stayed on Freedom’s Call page 42, and Wandering

Context, Thought, and Learning: ShiraDest Offers Project Do Better

What songs do you recall from your childhood, and did they help you remember to think of all of our stories?

I started my own walking singing tour company in the belief that song was a powerful way to help make this happen. Some of what I learned is in my book Stayed on Freedom’s Call (last week was page 41…):

” … going to school with Colored kids. Ike ordered our school superintendents to merge the Colored and White school systems, right after that Supreme Court decision. No waiting. They say the Reform shul is leaving this year or next, moving somewhere up near where Adas went, not far from the National Cathedral. We might not get to see any of our friends anymore, since we are supposed to move soon, to the other side of Rock Creek Park, with TAOS on 16th Street. We have only…

Crowdsourcing for science

Darcy Hitchcock

Science in this country tends to be under-funded, dependent on government grants, and tied to sluggish institutions. So what if there were a Kickstarter for science research? Voila, Experiment.com.

Robert Downey, Jr. (yes, the actor turned activist) is involved in an effort called the FootPrint Coalition using the Experiment platform to fund projects related to environmental justice.

We are in the business of supporting entrepreneurial scientists and we are in agreement that the major impediments are the obvious limitations of decision-making by committee. We’re trying something different. FootPrint Coalition is funding early research in brand new environmental fields, and doing it under the direction of esteemed Science Leads who can move quickly and fund at their discretion. The FootPrint Coalition Science Engine builds off suggestions made in the Funding Risky Research paper. It operationalizes the “loose-play funding for early-stage risky explorations” but doesn’t bind it to universities.
