Flowers, descending: some observations, with red dirt

Petchary's Blog

We fought our way along a road so deeply rutted that at times it seemed to be giving up on trying to be a road. After we turned off the main road, near Spanish Town, the earth had turned to deep red ochre – what we call “red dirt.”

There was a large tent near March Pen – a Christian “crusade.” (My photo)

After the intensity of March Pen, Frazer’s Content and other urban fringes of the town, the route became more rural. It was green, and there were birds and June Roses; but the poverty of the homes scattered along the road was very much the same. Residents were busy with their Saturday lunchtime chores, and hardly glanced at our little procession as we crawled past with our hazard lights flashing, in the custom of funerals. It was nothing unusual for them.

Meadowrest was fairly quiet, although we could…

Pensamentos.me/VEM comigo!

Na vida, é preciso que os nossos jardins estejam insuportavelmente floridos para que os sonhos – essa bússola do coração, nos projete os olhos para os lugares que vão além de nossas preocupações. A gente precisa dar mais risadas, deixar os medos de lado e procurar sentir a leveza da vida.

Com fé, se deixa de “aninhar as dificuldades”, mais do que as prioridades. E qual é as nossas duas maiores prioridades na vida? Ter saúde e ser feliz. Se soubermos enxergar o real valor que isso tem, certamente, as pérolas se deixam ser vistas. Mas para isso aconteça, é preciso ter coragem, convicção e personalidade para alcançar o oxigênio que precisamos para chegar ao cume de tudo aquilo que leva-nos a dignidade de nossos ganhos.

Feliz Dia dos Que Sabem Amar

Pensamentos.me/VEM comigo!

Não faça declarações apaixonadas numa única data. O amor não pode ser pobre e superficial. “Amar, não é só uma entrega de corpos, mas de almas.”

Quando se fala a respeito de amor, sabe-se que este, tem na sua particularidade individual e sentimental, elementos que coincidem não só com uma visão do mundo racional, mas como um elo de ligação muito maior que nos une, que é o afeto.

[…]

O amor não é ” maldito nem bendito. E também você não encontra ele numa peça de Shakespeare. Da mesma forma que, não ” levita…” nos Sonetos de Camões.

O amor é uma construção psíquica, e que tem uma força intraduzível. Eu diria que sobretudo, o amor se alimenta do que é próprio, do que é legítimo…consumado…genuinamente.

Marii Freire. Feliz Dia dos Que Sabem Amar!

Justice Department Secures Agreement to Remedy Racial Harassment of Black and Multi-Racial Students in Kentucky School District | OPA | Department of Justice

The department’s investigation uncovered numerous incidents of race-based harassment in which Black and multi-racial students were called the N-word, among other racial epithets, and subjected to other derogatory racial comments by their peers. The school district did not consistently or reasonably address the harassment, which included racial taunts and intimidation, and was at times reinforced by use of Confederate flags and imagery. When the district did respond, it often failed to follow its own racial harassment policies and its actions were ineffective in addressing the broader hostile environment. This inaction deprived Black and multi-racial students of equal access to the district’s educational opportunities and led them to conclude that the district either condoned the behavior or would not take any action to help them.
