Da ‘Toons, Da ‘Toons …

Filosofa's Word

It seems to me that the political cartoonists just keep getting better … perhaps it’s because they have so much material to work with!  I imagine they get up in the morning, troll the news, and wonder where to even start.  I’ve been collecting a few since last time I did a political ‘toon post, and it’s time to clean out the file just a bit, so here you go … enjoy!!!

Maturidade e responsabilidade andam juntos. Se um dia, um dos dois se separarem, o ciclo da vida se torna ” menos prazero”, porque tudo segue uma ordem e uma sequência. Não tem quem fuja disso. E diante dessa oferta, se a gente se amedrontar, se por acaso, nos deixarmos levar pela pequenez, conforme as circunstâncias se apresentam, a dor e o sofrimento, sabem exatamente, como reivindicar o seu lugar.

Comforting Thought: Your body is not just mineral and elemental. No, it’s vividly alive

Content Catnip


We only get one body in this life, the one we are each endowed with at this moment. Please begin by giving yours the respect it deserves.

Did you realise that every atom is 14.5 billion years old? All bodies are part of matter, created at the big bang, 10 billion years before earth appeared.

The water in your body seems to flow into your mouth from a fountain or a glass, then out again through pores and orifices. But like all of the waters on earth, no one knows where it came from. Perhaps a comet’s tail, it’s said.

Your body isn’t just mineral and elemental. No, it’s vividly alive, as anyone knows who’s ever danced, had a sore throat, made love or stubbed a toe.

वादा / Promise

Kaushal Kishore

तुम और तुम्हारे चेहरे को भी,”
लेकिन जिस तरह कल
तुमने मुंह मोड़ लिया,
मुझे देखकर,
मुझे खुशी है,
वादा नहीं निभाया तुमने अपना…

🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀

You had said,
“I’ll forget everything,
you and your face too,”
but the way
you turned your face away
seeing me yesterday,
I am glad,
you didn’t keep your promise…

I USED TO LIVE IN MIAMI

I worked in the main library near Biscayne Bay.

I graduated from Miami Jackson High School,, took art and was on the Globe staff.  I took Radio Speech and was a dee jay some Saturdays, courtesy of Mr. Fisher our teacher.  At one point I got free lunch while a student there. Mrs. Halliday was my homeroom teacher.

The thought of Miami this day, Tuesday, is saddening.  I think of the lemmings…the lemmings and of the Pied Piper of Hamlin.
