Te encontré en las letras que trazo, en las palabras que escribo, en las anotaciones, en los relatos, en las historias y en los poemas que compongo. Te descubrí hasta en la puntuación y en los acentos de mi prosa, en mis locuras y en mis razones, resguardada en expresiones que delatan, también, mis sentimientos e ideas, mis detalles y motivos. Te vi, a hurtadillas, en mis apuntes, entre papeles y tinta, en páginas interminables -electrónicas y de papel-, con tu aliento mágico que sopla con el aire y que recibo con la lluvia en burbujas de inspiraciones. Te miré en mis letras, abrazada de las palabras, y entendí, en consecuencia, que siempre estarás conmigo, simplemente porque una musa jamás abandona a su escritor ni un artista renuncia a quien le inspira sentimientos y razones, al escribir y al…

Pensamentos.me/VEM comigo!

Tenta esquecer- me …Ser lembrado é como

evocar- se um fantasma…Deixa-me ser

o que sou, o que sempre fui, um rio que vai fluindo…

Em vão, em minhas margens cantarão as horas,

Me reclamarem de estrelas como um manto real,

me bordadeira de nuvens e de asas,

às vezes virão em mim às crianças banhar-se…

Um espelho não guarda as coisas refletidas!

E o meu destino é seguir…é seguir para o Mar, as imagens perdendo no caminho…

Deixa-me fluir, passar, cantar…

toda a tristeza dos rios é não poderem parar!

Mario Quintana. Deixe-me seguir para o mar

Denmark says sorry to children of failed experiment – BBC News

“What you were subjected to was terrible; it was inhumane, it was unfair, and it was heartless,” Mette Frederiksen told the six Inuit Greenlanders at a ceremony in the Danish capital, Copenhagen.

They were among 22 Inuit children sent to Denmark from Greenland in 1951 to learn Danish. It was part of a scheme to raise “model” Greenlanders to help bridge Danish and indigenous cultures.

However, the children remained separated from their families, lost their mother tongue and struggled with identity issues.

Faced with legal action, the Danish government settled and agreed to pay damages of 250,000 Danish kroner ($38,000; £28,000) to each of the six. The other 16 people involved have since passed away.

‘Further and further away’

Kristine Heinesen, 76, remembers vividly the day she was taken from her family, aged five.

“My brother rowed me out to the ship,” she recalls as she thumbs through a collection of old black-and-white photographs. “The MS Disko.”

At first she was excited, she says, as she thought she was going on a sailing trip. “But we went further and further away, and it became clear that I was not coming back.”
