Silkeborg, etwas Streetart, die mir ins Auge fiel.

Silkeborg, some streetart that caught my eye.

Als wir in einem Strassencafé sassen, kam dieses Gefährt vorbei. Es erinnerte mich an „le petit train“ in Euro-Disney.

Der Juli ist immer noch regenreich bis mindestens zum 21.7., so weit die Vorhersage. Der 80 mm Regen, den wir heute bekommen sollten, wurde jedoch abgeblasen. Stattdessen haben wir einen sanften, andauernden Sommerregen … bis jetzt.

… July still is wet and will be until at least the 21st, that is how far the forecast goes. However, the 3 inches of rain that were supposed to fall today have been canceled. Instead we have a soft, continuous summer rain … so far.

The Golden Day – Kaushal Kishore

 

Amid the shadows of a thousand yesterdays,

And the whispers of a million tomorrows…

There lies a single, bright and precious day,

Untouched by past regrets or future sorrows…

.

Don’t dwell on what has come and gone,

Nor unnecessarily fret about what lies ahead…

For in this fleeting moment, love is drawn,

The present blooms, where joys are bred…

.

Let not the echoes of yesterday bring you pain,

Nor the unknown paths of tomorrow instill fear…

Embrace the now, let it remain your guide,

A time for joy, laughter, and love to reside…

.

In the smiling present, find your inner grace,

Each second a gift, a treasure to embrace…

Don’t let this day slip away, lost in the haze,

For today, my friend, is a precious, golden day…

.

Statement from President Joe Biden on S. 138, the “Promoting a Resolution to the Tibet-China Dispute Act” | The White House

Today, I have signed into law S. 138, the “Promoting a Resolution to the Tibet-China Dispute Act” (the “Act”).  I share the Congress’s bipartisan commitment to advancing the human rights of Tibetans and supporting efforts to preserve their distinct linguistic, cultural, and religious heritage.  My Administration will continue to call on the People’s Republic of China to resume direct dialogue, without preconditions, with the Dalai Lama, or his representatives, to seek a settlement that resolves differences and leads to a negotiated agreement on Tibet.  The Act does not change longstanding bipartisan United States policy to recognize the Tibet Autonomous Region and other Tibetan areas of China as part of the People’s Republic of China –- a policy decision that falls within my authority to recognize foreign states and the territorial bounds of such states.

JOSEPH R. BIDEN JR.

THE WHITE HOUSE,

July 12, 2024.
