Wilde Pferde im Norden Jütlands …Wild horses in Jutland’s north

Stella, oh, Stella

Eine meiner Wandernachbarinnen hat mir ein neues Naturgebiet gezeigt, dass 2019 mehr als verdoppelt wurde. Man siedelte damals 20 Pferde der Rasse “Exmoor” an (keine “richtigen” Wildpferde, meine ich, aber “winterfest”), die sich gut eingelebt haben. Sie sollen den Waldboden freihalten und düngen und dafür sorgen, dass in den ehemaligen “Weihnachtsbaumbeeten” eine neue Pflanzen- und Insektenartenvielfalt entsteht. Ich werde darüber noch einen separaten Beitrag machen, denn das interessiert sicherlich nicht alle. Am 2. Mai waren der Gentleman und ich dort unterwegs. Leider haben wir die Pferde nicht persönlich getroffen.

… One of my walking buddies has introduced me to a new nature park, which had been more than doubled in size in 2019. At that time, 20 horses of the race “Exmoor” (not “real” wild horses, I think, but “hardy”) had been put out to settle there, and they seem to have done…

Carlos Drummond de Andrade

Pensamentos.me/VEM comigo!

” Tão estranho crescer, adolescer
com a alma antiga, carregar as coisas
que não se deixam carregar.
A indelével casa me habitando, impondo
sua lei de defesa contra o tempo.
Sou o corredor, sou o telhado
sobre a estrebaria sem cavalos mas nutrindo
à espera de embornal. Casa- Cavalo,
casa de fazenda na cidade,
o pasto, ao Norte; ao Sul, quarto de arreios,
e esse mar de café rolando em grão. “

Carlos Drummond de Andrade. A casa sem Raiz.

‘Could have been me’: Eyewitnesses react to subway killing of Jordan Neely – Gothamist

Two formerly homeless men riding the F train on Monday say they’re still haunted by the commotion they stumbled into when they walked onto the platform and found a Black man on the ground with a white man’s arms around his neck.

“Could have been me,” said James Kings, who has been homeless on and off since he was a child.

Deaths from COVID plunged in 2022, but it’s still a top killer – Los Angeles Times

For the second consecutive year, the South had the worst COVID-19 death rates. The highest rate in both 2021 and 2022 occurred in the central South region that covers Texas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, Arkansas and New Mexico. In 2022, the rate for that region was 69.3 COVID-19 deaths for every 100,000 residents.

In second place for both years was the Southeast, defined as Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, Tennessee, South Carolina, Alabama, Kentucky and Mississippi. The rate there in 2022 was 65.5 COVID-19 deaths for every 100,000 residents.

Find a treasure in old

Anita's Perspectives on Life

Come, let’s remember old things,

Let’s relive the moments of our past.

The memories that our heartstrings,

Once held, and made forever last.

Come, let’s do old things once again,

Let’s dance like we did before.

Or simply sit, and chat like old friends,

And let the memories overflow our core.

The dust on our relationships, let’s clean,

Let’s mend the cracks, and make them whole.

For there’s still love that remains unseen,

And the bonds that once held, never grow old.

Come, let’s open our hearts to each other,

And forget the fights that once drove us apart.

For in each other, we find a lover,

A friend, a confidant, a fresh start.

Come, let’s sing those old songs,

And bring back the melody of the past.

Music has a way of righting wrongs,

And make our hearts beat fast.

Let’s bring our hearts closer together,

And cherish the…

Vírgula

Pensamentos.me/VEM comigo!

” Na última instância daquilo que você considerar como o mais precioso na vida, na mensuração entre o bem e o mal, entre a angústia e a dor, marque encontro com a verdade; sobretudo, com a sua verdade. Ela fica sempre por trás de uma cortina que, em algum momento da sua existência, você terá que tocar delicadamente, naquele tecido áspero ( falhas) e sentir que tudo vai se esvaindo entre os dedos. Eis, a vida!

Parece que a vida é feita de força, luz e vibração. Mas não. Ela é composta de medos e recuos necessários, vírgulas em pontos estratégicos para se poder [re]começar.

Vírgula necessária

Uma vírgula é necessária quando dá uma ideia de distância, ou quando você a usa para pausar o que se precisa. Na vida, um determinado momento pode mudar, não pela dor, mas pelo que enrijece por dentro. Entenda: vírgulas são necessárias, não para…
