Denkt an das schöpferische Wort und das vollkommene Gleichgewicht.
Erst wenn ihr dieses Gleichgewicht duch heilige Einsicht erlangt habt, werdet ihr Überwinder geworden sein;
und dann werden eure Hände mit Gottes Händen zusammenarbeiten.
Mögen der Friede und die Still dieser Nacht in euch schwingen, bis sie in der Stille und dem Frieden der heiligen Einsicht untergehen.
– Aus: „Das Buch des Mirdad“ von Mikhaïl Naimy Lichtblitze auf dem Pfad zu Gott)
*********************************************************
… Remember the creative word and the perfect balance.
When you have reached that Balance through Holy Understanding, then only shall you have become overcomers;
and then shall your hands collaborate the the hands of God.
May the peace and stillness of this night vibrate in you until you drown them in the stillness and peace of Holy Understanding.
– From: „The book of Mirdad“ by Mikhaïl Naimy (Sparks on the godward path)

Havia jeito de asa para o lado do Sul
a maré previu a fase da lua
e a maresia invadiu meu quintal
eu era só teu olho diante da janela
a tarde tinha a brisa
tinha gesto
Guardei o meu amor em palavras
escrevi seu endereço no voo do pássaro
e seu nome foi jogado no céu antes que as estrelas acordassem.
Havia gestos de flores no quintal. O cão latia para o riso das crianças.
Era assim a vida na docilidade das coisas.

A decade ago, a friend and I were walking up the stairs.
The lift was not functioning that day.
We cursed as we climbed.
She said, “next month I will be going for my knee operation.”
That got me thinking. For a year or so,
my wobbly, weak, and painful knees made climbing a challenge.
I enrolled for Tai Chi the following week.
I have never looked back since.
I don’t need to take knee supplements too.
I called Tai Chi, the ‘dancing meditation’!
Graceful yet deceptively challenging movements!
One of the toughest movements
is ‘snake creeps down. (see pose in picture above)
Many new students, including myself, looked on.
We (about thirty to sixty years old) shook our heads.
‘There is no way we can do this pose!’
It took me about three years
before I could do the ‘snake creeping down’!
…and my Tai Chi sifu was more than seventy years old! Still graceful and flexible!

Senate.gov provided an overview of the need for and purpose of the hearing:
“The impacts of this pandemic are still being felt by millions of families,” said Sanders. “We cannot turn our backs on the American people who continue to struggle with long COVID. At all levels of government, we must do more to address the health crises countless Americans are living through because of the coronavirus. Lives are at stake. I look forward to hearing from patients, experts, and researchers about what we must do to address this crisis, including the advanced research and patient care that so many Americans desperately need.”
Today, millions of Americans live with long COVID and its many symptoms. These include fatigue, cognitive impairment (commonly referred to as brain fog), muscle or joint pain, shortness of breath, heart palpitations, sleep difficulties, mood changes, and more. With millions of Americans suffering each and every day, more must be done to address this crisis…

Coloque seus estudos como prioridade. Opte sempre por quem você pode contar, independente da situação: você! O seu esposo tem que ser seu trabalho; tem que ser o seu estudo. Se um dia, todas as outras coisas te faltarem, o conhecimento não será uma causa perdida. É por isso que você deve manter firme esse compromisso de cuidar bem de você, para num segundo momento, trabalhar tudo aquilo que é necessário para construir o alicerce que dará sustentação aos sonhos, ao casamento, a família, os planos para o futuro. Estude; tornou-se uma pessoa melhor perante aos que lhes são caros, e também para ter a capacidade de atingir seus objetivos por meio de seus próprios méritos.
