A ti, que dejaste tu perfume en mi alma, en mi mente, en mi textura, en el tiempo, en la inmortalidad

El aroma de un amor queda impregnado en lo etéreo y en la arcilla, en los sentimientos y en la memoria, en uno y en otro cuando funden sus miradas y sonríen. La fragancia de un romance se mezcla con el perfume de las flores enamoradas que el viento agita una mañana de primavera o una tarde otoñal. El olor de dos enamorados -usted y yo- se diluye una noche estrellada y silenciosa, o una madrugada de lluvia, para envolver a los alcatraces, claveles, margaritas, orquídeas, rosas y tulipanes, y darles un encanto que, al otro día, al amanecer, regalan al exhalar sus fragancias. Y así, los perfumes de un amor inolvidable pulsan en el alma, en…

Prides Petition President Museveni – do NOT sign KILL THE GAYS LAW – O-blog-dee-o-blog-da

This week Uganda’s Parliament passed the dangerous Anti-Homosexuality Act of 2023. It is now on the desk of President Yoweri Museveni awaiting his assent which will then make it law. It is one of the worst anti-homosexuality laws in the world and serves to license what is already occurring: gay hunts, assault, threats, blackmail, unlawful detentions, torture and even killings. The laws provides jail terms to include 10 years to life and the death penalty for so called “aggravated homosexuality.” It also criminalizes children giving them 3 years in jail if they commit the “offense of homosexuality.” The Governments of the U.S.A. and Canada are speaking our and probably will take action against Uganda. Out Pride voices must be represented too, informing the President that we are not the deviants he has referred to us as on public media. Please sign petitions at: http://a.allout.org/s/O5dXq/

“ -C’est quoi ça?
-Votre côte sur le marché de l’art: 11.000 euros”

Mais si Driss n’avait-t-il pas d’argent ? Et s’ils lui avaient arrêtaient dans la misère ? Aux États-Unis il y à une moyen d’éviter les procès mais qui coute cher, selon l’état dans on aura le procès. C’est mon espoir qu’on peut avoir des changements de cette politique, avec l’aide des citoyens Américains, et aussi ce de nos amis.

“ -What’s this?
-That’s what you’re worth on the art market: 11,000 Euros.”

But what about before Driss had that money? What if he’d been arrested utterly poor?

In many states, programs exist to help first time offenders avoid trial and charges. But, Pre-trial Diversion or Intervention programs, as they are known, are often unfair to the poor, as in MD and many other states: perpetrating the cruelty of charging money that some people…

To recognize… by Magic Mix – Magic Mix

To recognize … by Magic Mix When we replace judgment, arrogance and lack of sensitivity with the exercise of humility, we begin to look at others with mercy, empathy and understanding … this is a painful path, full of stumbling blocks and stones. However, the grateful smile of the other being to be seen, recognized and accepted, fills our spirit with joy as very few things can. 宮 Magic Mixture

Guess Who’s In Your Mailbox?

Filosofa's Word

Earlier this month I came across a news story that actually … wait for it … brought a huge smile to my face! 😊  You all know who Toni Morrison is, right?  She’s the acclaimed author who became the first African American woman to win the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1993, and she also won a Pulitzer Prize for perhaps her best known book, Beloved, in 1987.  In 2012, President Barack Obama had the honour of presenting Ms. Morrison with the Presidential Medal of Freedom!  Sadly, Ms. Morrison died in 2019, but in her 88 years on this earth, she left a legacy that will last for as long as humans live on the planet.

But wait, I’m not done!  In fact, none of the above is what I set out to write about, for earlier this month it was announced that Toni Morrison will be featured on…

Kolkata shopping is a world apart from anything I’ve experienced elsewhere. (By the way, learning at least a few words of the language for where I visit makes things loads more fun — more on that below, as well as how it can figure into novel-writing like for my upcoming “Flamenco & the Sitting Cat.”)
