Consciência

Pensamentos.me/VEM comigo!

A consciência é uma espécie de pureza da moral. Só ela é capaz de nos deixar interpretar a vida, as situações, os fragmentos extraordinários, e os não ” tão bons” – os que exigem palavras cumpridas de forma justa, luminosa em vários aspectos nesse nosso tentar em “compreender” a vida e as suas muitas questões.

A consciência é prioritária no campo de qualquer reflexão, seja afirmação minha para comigo, ou para com o outro. A lógica da vida é algo que você tece através da consciência. Na verdade, não existe outra maneira de nos tornarmos pessoas éticas, sem levar em consideração a veracidade desse pensamento. É só através desse traço único e indivisível, tomado pela razão que as pessoas se mostram quem são conforme suas atitudes. Eu não posso falar e agir diferente, porque se assim fizer, simplesmente estaria agindo em desconformidade com o meu caráter, com a minha fala…

Some Birds Are Laying Eggs Much Earlier in Response to Climate Change – Yale E360

A third of bird species in Chicago are laying their eggs a month earlier than they did 100 years ago, according to a new study that compares recent observations with data from century-old eggs. Scientists believe that rising temperatures are to blame for the shift in egg-laying.

“The majority of the birds we looked at eat insects, and insects’ seasonal behavior is also affected by climate,” said John Bates, curator of birds at the Field Museum in Chicago and lead author of study. “The birds have to move their egg-laying dates to adapt.”

Miro las hojas de los árboles y descubro, en unas y en otras, ciertos rasgos que les dan identidad, incontables motivos y suspiros que palpitan en su esencia y en sus formas, huellas que marcan sus delirios, rostros con texturas y rutas, algo especial, casi impronunciable y etéreo, recibe el aliento y los pinceles de la vida con amor, gratitud y alegría, pesar de las luces y las sombras que se presentan cada instante.

Al contemplar, asombrado, cada una de las hojas, tan diferentes entre sí, a pesar de la similitud de sus perfiles y de brotar de las mismas ramas, me doy cuenta de que todas coexisten en armonía, con equilibrio, plenas, y exhiben su belleza cautivante en primavera y en verano, en otoño y en invierno, en las mañanas y en las noches, al mediodía, en las…

Guests and crew members test positive for COVID-19 aboard Princess Cruise ship – Los Angeles Times

Passengers and crew members tested positive for COVID-19 aboard a 15-day Princess Cruise trip to the Panama Canal that returned Sunday to the Port of San Francisco.

Those affected aboard the ship the Ruby Princess were either asymptomatic or showed mild symptoms of COVID-19 and were isolated and quarantined, Princess Cruises said in a statement. The cruise line did not say how many guests and crew members tested positive, or at what point in the trip they did so.

The ship has since departed San Francisco for a 15-day cruise to Hawaii.

The cruise line requires guests to show a negative COVID-19 test and proof that they were fully vaccinated at least 14 days before the start of the trip. Vaccination rates for guests and crew members on the Ruby Princess were at 100%, Princess Cruises said.
