I’M GOING TO TRY…

NANMYKEL.COM

AND DO SOMETHING USEFUL –  Although I tend to make promises and renege on them due to one thing or another, I’m going to try and dedicate one day a week to a climate change update, headed How’s Mother Earth Doing?   I’m telling you now at the age of 86-going on-87-that I’m still a computer newbie and have resigned myself to that fact.  (I quit d’verse because it became too challenging for me when they made a little change in directions several years ago).  Which means that I will be lifting facts from resources listed under Google, and cannot mess with all the ways to frame them, for the most part.  Everyone can use Google or other “search engines,” I think they’re called. I hope to start today, so will hope to feature my new post every Saturday….How challenging and scary! ….

Richard and Tyrone are two young Jamaicans who inspire me. Sail on! — Petchary’s Blog

These are complicated and indeed challenging times for young people. All kinds of clichés are trotted out about the youth being “our future.” But as former President Barack Obama – who used to talk a great deal about the future in his campaigning – pointed out, simply put: The future belongs to young people with […]

Heute ist der richtige Tag, um zu lieben …Today is the right day to love

Stella, oh, Stella

Heute kommt der 14. Dalai Lama wieder einmal zu Wort.

… Today I will give the word to the 14th Dalai Lama once again.

Es gibt nur zwei Tage im Jahr, an denen nichts getan werden kann. Einer heißt Gestern und der andere Morgen. Heute ist der richtige Tag, um zu lieben, zu glauben, zu handeln und vor allem zu leben.

Der Planet braucht nicht mehr erfolgreiche Menschen. Der Planet braucht dringend mehr Friedensstifter, Heiler, Wiederhersteller, Geschichtenerzähler und Liebende aller Art.
14. Dalai Lama

***************************************************************

… There are only two days in the year that nothing can be done. One is called Yesterday and the other is called Tomorrow. Today is the right day to Love, Believe, Do and mostly Live.

The planet does not need more successful people. The planet desperately…

STOP 🛑 The Violence!!!

Filosofa's Word

A child comes home from school, says he’s going to beat up the kid who called him a name.  The mother sits down with the child, offers him a piece of cheese and a juice box and explains to him that there are other, better ways to resolve his differences with the other child.  She talks about finding the reason why the other kid called him a name, talks about him sitting down with the other kid and maybe a mediator, to talk about their differences.  And she explains to him that violence is never the answer, that violence will only lead to more violence and that eventually someone will get hurt, perhaps badly.

Okay, sure … that’s the fairy tale scenario, but believe it or not, similar scenarios are happening as we speak around the nation today and every day.  But … among the so-called adults in the room?

Aprendí de los minutos y de las horas

Aprendí de los minutos y de las horas a no tener apegos, a pasar sin la idea de apropiarme de lo que no podré cargar, a no enamorarme de las cosas temporales, a pesar de que me ofrezcan guiños y la lascivia de sus encantos. Las manecillas del reloj me enseñaron, también, que el escenario, en la carátula, podría ya no ser el mismo al completar la vuelta; en consecuencia, es prioritario aprovechar el viaje y experimentar cada instante. Me mostraron que no conviene, por ningún motivo, atorarse en los números del pasado, en las etapas que ya quedaron atrás, porque generalmente es imposible alcanzar a las manecillas en su caminata incansable y, cuando uno lo nota, ya es de noche y aparecen las sombras. Del tiempo asimilé que cada uno de sus pedazos es un lapso, un espacio…
