It’s an excerpt of my film of instants of the daily life of a Yanomami community in the Amazon Rainforest made to accompany the children’s book series: “Amazon Rainforest Magic” “La Magie de l’Amazonie” and “La Magia de la Amazonia”for ages 8 to 100!

Smitty’s Letter XVI “Guard Duty” conclusion — Pacific Paratrooper

It’s lonely out there. In the event that you missed the previous post, Cpl. Smith serving in the 11th Airborne during WWII, was attempting to visualize his first experience at standing guard duty in a combat zone to his mother in a letter. At one point, the situation appears critical and the next – a […]

Minbari Mondays, and Two Lessons in “Dust to Dust” (B5:s3e6) About Life…

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

       This week we are learning to live with the fact that Ranger Mayann is prohibited from writing to us from Minbar, where she is stationed. 

    This week’s lessons:

          1.  Sometimes, “Some must be sacrificed, if all are to be saved.”  Life, and long term strategy, unfortunately, involves loss.  But that loss should be with informed consent, imho.

          2.  There are always creative solutions to thorny problems, if we work in community.

 

            So, a drug that allows telepathic invasion is tested by G’Kar, on Londo.  Logical.  Naturally, the PsyCorps would have an interest in this drug, and a bigger interest in scanning the minds of the B5 command staff.  That’s where a little help from some friendly Minbari telepaths comes in handy.

 

  Let’s learn from this, and start building community before we become the “some” that “must be sacrificed,” please.   We, as a…

What if public schools were the target all along?

The Weekly Sift

http://www.progressive-charlestown.com/2014/05/wal-mart-money-drives-charter-school.html

Maybe the point of stoking phony issues like “critical race theory” is to make the whole notion of a public education seem untenable.


Every now and then, conservative pundits give Democratic politicians “helpful” advice, a practice related to concern trolling. Democrats could have so much more success, they tell us, if only we’d stop acting like — you know — Democrats. Give up on unions. Stop annoying White people by talking about racism, or men by calling out sexism. Abortion rights, climate change, police reform, gender equality, universal health care … it’s all just so much baggage. If Democrats would dump it and stand for nothing-in-particular, then we could appeal to that broad segment of the electorate that also stands for nothing-in-particular.

Or so they tell us.

Such advice should not be confused with actual Democrats lobbying for their priorities. No single campaign can be about…

Leonard Cohen

Pensamentos.me/VEM comigo!

” Eu ouvi dizer que havia um acorde secreto

Que Davi tocava e agradava ao Senhor

Mas você liga muito pra música, liga?

É assim, a quarta, a quinta

A menor cai, a maior ascende

O Rei perplexo compondo Aleluia

Aleluia, Aleluia

Aleluia, Aleluia “

Leonard Cohen. Aleluia ( Hallelujah)
