Sewing Machine – Kaushal Kishore

 

Within life’s intricate tapestry,

a sewing machine hums,

Destiny’s threads weave,

stories as they become…

*

Relentless, life’s needle dances

in rhythmic grace,

Weaving moments seamlessly,

a fervor we embrace…

*

Yet, love’s essence,

a thread we must employ,

Without its embrace,

connections lose their joy…

*

Each stitch, a moment,

an embrace we share,

Love’s thread binds hearts,

leaving no trace to spare…

*

In the loom of relationships,

a delicate dance,

Love’s weaving touch,

a sweet, binding trance…

*

But, neglect the weave,

and the fabric fades,

Torn edges linger,

like whispers in the shades…

*

No needle is idle

in this life’s grand design,

Love, the thread that makes

existence intertwine…

*

So, let our hearts entwine

in a dance so divine,

For in love’s tapestry,

true connections brightly shine…

Love connections…by Mágica Mistura – Mágica Mistura

We are all one

With trees, land, air, water

Sky, stars, volcano lava

Butterflies, bats, snakes

There are those who seek God in temples

There are those who seek themselves in escapes

We always want the “truth”

But the truth is a journey, a path

Continuous learning… evolution

Our stellar brothers

Always present with us

The hands give us in this mission

We just have to have sensitive intuition

Looking up to the sky

To look inside, at yourself

And all beauty and Light will come to light

Poignant and revolutionary

Tearing down what obstructs the vision

Opening the innermost part of the spirit

Making the light of the world shine again

Eternal Universal Love

Quarantined Mac ‘n Cheese | snapshotsincursive

What’s Cooking in Gail’s Kitchen? Country Casual Cravings: Quarantined Mac ‘n Cheese! We all know the effects of social distancing and being quarantined at home. It can reek havoc on mental health and increase anxiety, that’s for sure. Rising costs of groceries can contribute to feelings of fear, worry, and frustration as well. That’s when comfort foods come to the rescue. I actually made this dish when my kitchen was being renovated during the pandemic and all I had was a counter microwave for cooking meals. This one-bowl meal eased the pain of feeling like things were out of control. Perhaps it may help you, too…

Indigenous women filmmakers form collective, using cameras to fight for rights – Stigmatis

  • In 2022, a group of Indigenous women created Rede Katahirine, a network composed of 60 filmmakers, producers and screenwriters who represent Indigenous women from nearly all of Brazil’s biomes.
  • In placing Indigenous audiovisual arts in the hands of women, the network aims to use its cameras as tools to fight for the preservation of Indigenous territories and memory.
  • Aside from funding new productions, Rede Katahirine organizes monthly meetings for screenings and conversations.

While the name Katahirine seems like it could be for an observatory or some ambitious outer space project, it is rather the name of the first audiovisual network created and run by Indigenous women in Brazil.

In the language of the Manchineri people native to Brazil’s state of Acre, Katahirine means “constellation.” It was chosen by the collective because it implies plurality, the gathering of voices from many territories under one platform.
