Astérix: Learn a Language to Build Housing…

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

InAsterix & Obelix: Mission Cleopatra, the Druid Panoramix, of that unconquerable village shared with Astérix the Gaul, came away with a scroll from the Library of Alexandria. Could it have contained what we see in the image above? Unlike Queen Cleopatra, we do not have to speak ten languages, but studying at least two or three can help widening one’s perspective, and build empathy.

FDR’s Four Freedoms, particularly freedom from fear, are echoed in this funny, but informative French film. From fear of being fed to Sacred Crocodiles to fear of losing face, languages and learning play a key role in this film, as in our real world today. Languages and libraries can also play a key role in moving us from our current world situation to one in which every human being is free from fear. Here is one proposal for how I hope we…

What We See & Feel

The Twisting Tail

Vision is the art of seeingwhat is invisible to others.

Jonathan Swift

11. Write an Ottava Rima or write on the theme of vision


Awash in an undercurrent of beauty
my mind grasps for an anchor, to trace back
Hope more than belief at what my eyes did see
scored in the soft bed along a distant track
There amongst a stirring sand cloud of deep sea

12. Write a Waltmarie poem or write about healing

13. Write a Rant Prose poem or write about blindness


Blindness
Damned blindness
Does not run…

A Man Without A Heart | Filosofa’s Word

My mother used to advise, “If you have nothing kind to say, then say nothing.”  Well, unfortunately if I heeded that advice today, Filosofa’s Word would not exist.  The world today is not conducive to kind thoughts and words.  In fact, were I to heed her advice, I might just as well have my vocal…
