Querido diario, pagina 66 — JaZzArt en València

(Foto Pixabay) La famosa ruta 66, la ruta madre de Estados Unidos… Iba desde Chicago (Illinois), atravesando los estados de Misuri, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, Nuevo México, Arizona y California, para terminar…originalmente…en Los Ángeles, después de recorrido de 3.940 kilómetros. Pero la carretera sufrió cambios de trazado y en uno de ellos trasladaron el final de […]

On the clouds rest my weary soul — Nguyễn Thị Phương Trâm

On the clouds rest my weary soul, Self drifting in the sea of blue. Further from the heart’s enclave, More pulling on my maternal chord. The pulse races to a pace slow, Eyes glimmering strings of dew. To where? I’m travelling not alone, Not past a sunrise, yet I yearn for home.. 2014 Nguyễn Thị […]

La vida y el tiempo apenas son suficientes para hacer algo trascendente en el mundo. Todo es tan breve e inmediato que, a veces, la mayoría de los seres humanos no logran conquistarse a sí mismos ni realizar algo grandioso durante los días de sus existencias. Quienes enfrentan los desafíos, los problemas y los retos, y dejan huellas indelebles en el camino para que otros, los que vienen atrás, las sigan o se atrevan a ser ellos y lleven a cabo sus sueños, aspiraciones y proyectos, merecen toda la admiración y el respeto de las mayorías.

El autor de la Rebelión de las masas, el eminente escritor, filósofo y ensayista español, don José Ortega y Gasset, escribió en su libro, España invertebrada, que, “cuando varios hombres se hallan juntos, acaece que uno de ellos…

Happy New Year: Love, Peace, and a little bit of Hope

Petchary's Blog

The evening leading up to midnight on New Year’s Eve always seems interminably long. New Year’s Eve is a time of what has been, what might be, and what is likely (or rather, not likely) to change. However, a lot of people are advising us and guiding us and urging us to “reflect and reset,” etc. But really, it is more of the same.

Nevertheless, in the spirit of New Year’s Eve, I will focus on a couple of things that I would wish for more of.

Firstly: People are angry. There have been several murders in the past few days (nothing new), but what I noticed was that on a couple of these terrible occasions, people have been on a short fuse. “Altercations” and “disputes” arise over the smallest, everyday things.

World Community: New Years Wishes

Context, Thought, and Learning: ShiraDest Offers Project Do Better

Happy New Year 12023

                 Fun with Languages Friday becomes today, but as with last year, and now with a summary translation, we go back in time a few years, and a couple of continents, to Turkey.  I learned much of my spoken Turkish over meals with neighbors, and  by watching Sihirli Annem, our delightful Turkish Tuesdays family show in the evenings after work.  It has been described as a Turkish version of the 70s show Bewitched, but I’d call it more of a Bewitched meets Harry Potter ala modern Turkey.

   Minute 17:09 of this Sihirli Annem video episode clip: A beautiful wish for world peace

   And the summary of the entire video:

 

Ok, why was I sure that there was a CC and an English subtitles option when I looked at this video clip before I…
