Rain in Spring
Last few years, drought was reigning
Now, when it’s often raining,
I see new plants emerging
Or, is it that grey light gives another viewing

Review: The History of Black Slavery in Pueto Rico/ Revista: Historia de La Esclavitud Negra En Puerto Rico
Context, Thought, and Learning: ShiraDest Offers Project Do Better
Historia de La Esclavitud Negra En Puerto Rico by Luis M. Soler
This book, in my opinion, is worth keeping handy, and with a good library, and after having learned to read both Spanish and French, as well. It was available freely online as a pdf document, via a university library system if I recall correctly, back when I first read it in 2015 or so, but I have not searched for it since then.
This extensive and not easy to read, but well worthwhile history of slavery in Puerto Rico, shows the importance not only of where we have been, but also what tools we have now and how to evaluate them in the light of past and present situations. The author comments that a Cooperative could have saved the small coffee producers of Puerto Rico, though not on whether that would have enabled the liberation…

Te amo
Meus olhos agora, contemplam o eterno
A vida que pousa sobre a esperança
Do amor e sua bondade
Amor! Beija- me a face de luz
Com sua boca delicada
toques leves e nostálgicos!
Fecham os olhos e contempla a natureza
Sinta o seu frescor
E que nesse sentir
Nasça a magia de um coração ardente e palpitante
Que a tua boca ao tocar a minha
Vista-se de um único desejo
Debaixo de um céu que inclina dois corações na mesma direção
Te amo!
Como agora, no silêncio
Diante do manto do Sol…olhando para o infinito
Cerro o meu olhar em direção ao vago
brilho …
Que entre versos
Leva o meu coração até a ti
Devagarinho …
Como sei que me leva contigo.
Marii Freire.

If We Cannot See It, Is It Real? | Filosofa’s Word
When we cannot breathe the air, when there is no potable water to drink, and when food shortages mean that not only we cannot afford food, but cannot find it, I think things like the price of fuel and immigration will be the least of our worries. Our children and grandchildren will look back and ask why we didn’t take it more seriously when we had a real chance of reversing the damage, but instead left the problems to them.
Bye Bye Miss American Pie

American singer and songwriter Don McLean is known as the “American Troubadour” or “King of the Trail” to his many fans. His biggest claim to fame is his hit song “American Pie” from 1971.
In 1969 McLean began his musical journey by releasing his album Tapestry. Even though this album did not bring him great fame it included the successful song “Castles in the Air” which charted on the Easy Listening chart.

Garry Rayno: History Is Not Always Comfortable | Diane Ravitch’s blog
Like many other states, New Hampshire passed a law forbidding the teaching of “divisive concepts” or anything that might make students “uncomfortable.” Such laws ban teaching truthfully and direct teachers to engage in self-censorship. Teachers who dare to violate these ridiculous laws risk being fired and losing their teaching license. Such laws are, in fact, shameful and an insult to freedom of inquiry, the freedom to teach and the freedom to learn. Petty tyrants suppress knowledge.
