it’s darkest before the dawn

Lolsys Library

The phraseit’s darkest before the dawnmeans that things always seem the worst right before they improve.

I think a lot of us are going right now “Dear god, that darkest part of the night is taking a long time”.

I am refusing to let the darkness take me, especially since I’m asleep usually at that time.

This is going to be a short post, but it is darkest before the dawn. Sadly, there is something rotten in this world, and it is not COVID. It should be COVID, it really should, but it is not. COVID is not the worst thing on this planet, it’s us, it’s Humans.

HOWEVER…

There are good humans, there are good beings out there. You are one of them! And that, we need to remember and hold onto. I think the biggest problem is, the worst of us, have the biggest platforms.

L’ipertimesia e l’incredibile memoria autobiografica

le pagine dei nostri libri

L’ipertimesiaosindrome ipertimesica è una condizione in cui l’individuo possiede una memoria autobiografica tale da permettere il ricordo di gran parte degli eventi vissuti nella propria esistenza.

Le persone ipertimesiche impiegano molto del loro tempo nel ricordare eventi del proprio passato ed hanno una grande capacità di ricordare dettagliatamente anche eventi specifici e quasi ogni giorno della propria esistenza, così come gli eventi pubblici che abbiano per lui un significato personale. I ricordi per loro sono associazioni incontrollabili e vivide rappresentazioni che emergono inconsapevolmente.

L’ipertimesia è però diversa dalle altre forme di memoria eccezionale, caratterizzate da strategie finalizzate al ricordo di lunghe serie di informazioni. I ricordi richiamati dall’ipertimesico tendono a essere personali, autobiografici e relativi sia a eventi significativi della propria vita, sia a eventi del tutto banali. Questo processo avviene involontariamente, ed è automatico il richiamo dei ricordi stessi.

L’ipertimesico possiede un calcolo calendariale simile…

Another Travel Journey!

Saania's diary - reflections, learnings, sparkles

UAE had its national holidays for 4 days this December, so my family and I decided to travel to Armenia – a city of endless charms. Armenia has a rich culture and history, and the two places I visited: Yerevan (the capital city) and Tsaghkadzor (a town) completely have my heart!

In Yerevan, this time of the year is fall, so it was lovely seeing maple leaves everywhere. The last time I experienced fall was in Boston, so the comforting aura of the amber leaves falling off every tree made it extremely peaceful and enchanting.

Me being mesmerised by Autumn 🍂

My tour guide Rosiana was the sweetest soul, and I already miss her. She made us try the most divine Armenian food and showed us around the city’s main attractions.

That’s Rosiana and me on the left

Then we headed to Tsaghkadzor, a wintery wonderland. I think…

Pearl Harbor Day

CRAIN'S COMMENTS

This day in 1941 brought American into active participation in WWII. American had been the factory provisioning the UK and Commonwealth, and on that day transitioned from a logistics role to active combatant.

The losses that day don’t carry the same weight now as the losses of 0/11/2001, and even the latter is fading from memory. However, the cauldron that followed created what we call “The Greatest Generation” and legendary leaders in business, politics, technology and entertainment.

You’ve probably seen the picture of the Shaw blowing up, but may not have seen the others, below.

Moon Tides

You Lil Dickens

My muse sails with many sailors

Much like when we sail our ship

Guiding one another through the blue and black skies of life

Navigating by the stars

Calculating latitudes with your golden astrolabe

Your trusty compass always at your side, a gift, Christmas 1855

Engraved: Time is but a twinkling of an eye in eternity.

***

The duality of us all is a wondrous thing

For I am the stars and you are the moon, my mariner muse

I feel him every night, the pull of the moon shining bright

Controlling the tides, high and low, day and night

You travel the seas, all over the world, a constant for them, for me

As I, a constant for you, your North Star shining the brightest of all

I pray — ignore any siren’s call

***

If I yearn for you I look up at the night sky

You are…
