Three Jamaican women who worked for women and the most vulnerable
International Women’s Day was a bit of a blur for me, as I was so busy. It was warmly embraced by many. Social media was swamped with memes, videos, and photo-ops. My bank gave me a lovely cup cake. WhatsApp was filled with empowering messages. There is certainly plenty about Jamaican women to recognize and applaud.
This reminded me that for some time I have been meaning to write a little tribute to two women who stood for justice for men and women, at home and sometimes abroad too. Now, sadly, I am going to add a third Jamaican woman.

It is funny, though. After people have passed on, I can still hear their voice, echoing in my head. That sounds a little weird, I know, but true. So, in my mind I…

“Florida’s Don’t Say Gay Bill Will Hurt Teens Like Me”
Will Larkins is a junior at Winter Park High School in Winter Park, Florida.
Read the story and hear him (them?) speak to the Florida legislature. A smidgen of the New York Times.com opinion piece:
“I have come to realize that those who have been so openly hateful toward me often knew little about the queer community — they thought being L.G.B.T.Q. was a conscious choice. Education didn’t just give me a sense of self worth but also the knowledge of a community and lifeline there for countless young people.
“L.G.B.T.Q. teens are four times more likely to commit suicide than their straight counterparts. According to the Trevor Project, a crisis intervention and suicide prevention organization for young gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender and queer people, teens who learned about L.G.B.T.Q. issues or people in school were 23 percent less likely to attempt suicide. We have a mental health crisis…

No sé si habrá un después, un mañana, un porvenir. Todo parece incierto. Estamos en tiempos de guerra, odio y violencia. De lo que estoy convencido y seguro es de que los crímenes que atentan contra la humanidad-entiéndanse coronaviris y lo otro- y la guerra que amenaza destruir el planeta, no apagan mi voz ni me atemorizan; al contrario, me fortalecen para dar lo mejor de mí, vivir con equilibrio y respeto, hacer el bien y cultivar amor. No me he rendido ante los intereses de un grupo ambicioso y despiadado. Si anhelo la luz, no importa caminar entre los fantasmas que alguien, y otros más, han creado con la intención de romper y dominar a la humanidad.

Generosidade
A generosidade da vida faz parte dos nossos processos. Comportamentos estúpidos nos fazem agir pela impulsividade, perder o controle. Mas a consciência nos torna humanos, ainda que no meio das adversidades.
A generosidade é uma virtude de quem se sacrifica ao que é secreto, ao que foge das suas limitações, por isso é um ato íntimo. Quem é generoso, dar sem receber, toca sem encostar, porque sabe que esse detalhe é importante ao outro, ou aos outros. Quanto mais conscientes, mais generosos nos tornamos como pessoas.

Machado de Assis
” Foi-se a melhor parte da minha vida, e aqui estou só no mundo […] Aqui me fico, por ora, na mesma casa, no mesmo aposento, com os mesmos adornos seus. Tudo me lembra a minha meiga Carolina. Como estou a beira do eterno aposento, não gastarei tempo em recordá-la. Irei vê-la me espera”
Machado de Assis. Feliz Ano Novo.

Der Rassismus zeigt sein hässliches Antlitz ungeniert … Racism shows its ugly face unabashed

Ich habe am Wochenende unsere Staatsministerin bei einer Pressekonferenz gehört: Liebe Ukrainer, ihr seid alle willkommen, wir sorgen für gratis Transport, Arbeitserlaubnis und Arbeitsplatz, so dass ihr alle schnell integriert werdet. Ich finde das ja toll für die ukrainischen Flüchtlinge, und ich gönne es ihnen wirklich.
Aber wie steht es mit den anderen Flüchtlingen, die im Moment in den Asylzentren herumsitzen? Die aus Syrien, Afghanistan und afrikanischen Ländern? In den letzten Jahren haben die Politiker in Dänemark alles daran gesetzt, dass es schwerer und schwerer wird, in Dänemark integriert zu werden. Man hat sogar die Sprachkurse reduziert, obwohl ein Abschluss in Dänisch Bedingung für den Antrag auf Staatbürgerschaft ist. Ferner wurde eine Prüfung mit 40 Fragen eingeführt, die viele Dänen selber nicht einmal zufriedenstellend beantworten können. Kinder von syrischen Eltern, die in Dänemark geboren wurden und dänische Staatsbürger sind, wollte man nicht einmal aus Syrien…

Continuity of Life
Life is a continuous learning process. We don’t know that we don’t know until we are put to the test. If we see people and other sentient beings as sacred, because we all are, this world would evolve into the paradise it is intended to be. We have to be the truth we seek.
