Cuando la mañana y la tarde se van

Cuando la mañana y la tarde se retiran a descansar, llega la noche con sus luceros y sus sombras inseparables, como para recordarme la diferencia entre una y otra; entonces, comprendo que los minutos transcurren casi imperceptibles y se llevan pedazos de uno, trozos de vida que, bien o mal aprovechados, quedan atrás, en lapsos que se convierten en ayer, en pasado, en recuerdo o en olvido. Trato de cerrar las puertas y las ventanas cuando la mañana y la tarde reposan en su sueño; pero la noche entra no sé por dónde, mientras afuera llueve y sopla el viento o neva o todo es quietud. No le temo a la noche. Es el otro rostro. Tiene estrellas y cierto encanto y misterio que fascinan y, a la vez, estremecen. En ocasiones, la noche es tan intensa, que no veo…

” Quando eu morrer, não soltem meu cavalo

nas pedras do meu pasto incediado:

fustiguem-lhe seu dorso alardeado

com a espora de ouro, até matá-lo.

Herói de si mesmo

Pensamentos.me/VEM comigo!

Herói de si mesmo é aquela pessoa que não espera do outro, não oferta as outras pessoas o mais importante daquilo que tem, ou seja seu tempo. Não no sentido de perdê-lo. O herói de si mesmo, é alguém que é um gênio solitário, pelo menos, naquilo que os outros imaginam, não é? Não. O herói de si mesmo, é aquela pessoa que faz uso do tempo a seu favor. Ela não sucumbe em meio aos dilemas, não faz destes, tragédias. Mas usa como instrumento para contemplar a vida com fascínio singular.

Ora, a vida também é feita de momentos difíceis; momentos solitários. Quem nunca os teve? Imagino que todos. Estes, podem chegar a qualquer momento sem avisar. Estando preparados ou não, os vivemos. Entenda que, para compreendê-los, é necessário diluir os seus efeitos através de processo internos. Então, nada melhor do que descobrir o significado da própria companhia, você…

Why Are Right-Wing Groups Targeting a Law Aimed at Protecting Native Families? – Mother Jones

“One of the things that tribes need to continue to exist is their children,” says Shannon Smith, executive director of the Indian Child Welfare Act Law Center, which provides legal services for Native families. “Things just don’t exist if you don’t have kids.”

Some legal scholars argue that the case, which will be heard before the court on Wednesday, threatens to not only strike down ICWA, but also to question the fundamental rights of tribes that go well beyond child welfare—including rights around water, land, gaming, policing, and Native sovereignty itself.

“All children would benefit from such a commitment”

For 150 years, the federal government funded more than 400 boarding schools, often run by churches, that stripped Native children of their language, religion, and culture. As the boarding school movement died down in the mid-1900s, government-sponsored programs, including the Indian Adoption Project, emerged to place Native children with non-Native adoptive families. A 1966 Bureau of Indian Affairs press release read, “One little, two little, three little Indians—and 206 more—are brightening the homes and lives of 172 American families, mostly non-Indians, who have taken the Indian waifs as their own.”

By the time ICWA passed in 1978, between 25 and 35 percent of all Native children had been taken from their families and put in foster homes, adoptive homes, or institutions, according to surveys by the Association on American Indian Affairs.
