In my last post, I promised to share this blog post. Again, it is a plea for unity, and for going back to basic principles of humanity. Jamaican-born…

What’s gone wrong?
A few days ago, I watched footageof the laughable, but sad spectacle of German police officers, weighed down with their riot gear – stuck in the mud while trying to defend a coal mine from angry, jeering protesters. The struggle has been going on for weeks against the demolition of a village to expand the mine. Even more bizarrely, in the video that I watched, the police were being tormented by a tall man in a monk’s habit and wearing a mask, who just won’t leave them alone.

I thought to myself that 2023 is beginning to take on a somewhat surreal air – already. And it’s not the end of January, yet.
On our island, I get the sense that…

Quanto mais a mulher se faz presente em ambientes de poder, o que hoje, naturalmente, é também um território dela, essa mulher inspira as outras, e torna-se sobreviventes do ódio, e até de um passado de negação, porque muitos não admitem que ela esteja, aonde de fato, é seu lugar de direito, assim como curiosamente, muda a realidade que a tira de uma posição de inferioridade, e mostra o protagonismo feminino de maneira fascinante sobre esse espaço.

É preciso passar por longas transformações para que se encontre o jardim de aventuras. Nada aflora antes do tempo, e fora dele, tudo esfacela. Para que as coisas se transformem, é preciso oxigenar a mente, se desfazer de posturas, ideiais, medos e corrigir erros. Nada é por acaso. Sem ousar, ficamos presos as nossas próprias limitações. É preciso criar novas possibilidades para que do fio da vida, nasça a esperança que transforma as nossas experiências em aventuras fantásticas.
Bom dia!

To Laugh? Or To Cry? — Filosofa’s Word

I can honestly say I don’t know whether to laugh or cry over some of the latest news stories. At first, I chuckle, maybe even let out a guffaw. And then, I ponder … and soon the corners of my mouth turn downward as I growl. A few examples … In Iowa, the House Republicans […]
