SOLLY, NOT JOLLY…

I am thankful for the ability to learn, but to what end?

IS the March of the Penguins a metaphor for mankind?

ARE WE fated by our genes and early experiences to unroll our lives to the very end?  And why do we hate that notion so?  Because we would not matter, then?  Do the penguins matter?  Perhaps it is all in the service of Emergence.  Survival is the drive, emergence mans the tiller.  But what of war and pestilence?  What of chaos, or chance…or pandemics?

Eisley writes, in the Invisible Pyramid, “Beginning on some winter night the snow will fall steadily for a thousand years and hush in its falling the spore cities whose seed has flown.  The delicate traceries  of the frost will slowly dim the glass in observatories and all will be as it had been before the virus wakened.  The long trail of Halley’s…

From  Google Groups “X1-Friends” group:

AT&T fired President John Walter after nine months, saying he lacked intellectual leadership. He received a $26 million severance package. Perhaps it’s not Walter who’s lacking the intelligence?

Police in Oakland, CA spent two hours attempting to subdue a gunman who had barricaded himself inside his home. After firing ten tear gas canisters, officers discovered that the man was standing beside them in the police line, shouting, ‘Please come out and give yourself up.’
 Police in Los Angeles had good luck with a robbery suspect who just couldn’t control himself during a lineup. When detectives asked each man in the lineup to repeat the words: ‘Give me all your money or I’ll shoot’, the man shouted, ‘that’s not what I said!’
 A man spoke frantically into the phone: ‘My wife is pregnant and her contractions are only two minutes apart’. ‘Is this her first child?’…

Parashat Vayeshev, and Knowing Your Rights

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

This week’s Torah portion is Parashat Vayeshev, as Jacob, now aka Israel, made his home in that place where his fathers had wandered. His sons were very busy boys, and one in particular, Judah, had some unjust dealings with his daughter-in-law, Tamar. Fortunately for her, Tamar both knew her rights, and was daring about defending them. At the risk of getting toasted. That knowledge of legal rights is still more essential in our modern world. Unfortunately, many people do not have the access to many tools that would help them to know, understand, and defend their rights. So, how to we help to change that, Thoughtful Readers?

Action Prompts:

1.) Share your thoughts on the how on-going (free!) financial legal education might help keep all of us safer, please.

2.) Write a book, story, post or tweet that uses these thoughts.

Dear Readers, ideas onlearning,

Pensamentos.me/VEM comigo!

” Nos demais

todo mundo sabe,

o coração tem moradia certa,

fica bem aqui no meio do peito,

mas comigo a anatomia ficou louca,

sou todo coração “

Noel Rosa

Pensamentos.me/VEM comigo!

” Queria ser pandeiro

Pra sentir o dia inteiro

A tua mão na minha pele a batucar

Saudade do violão e da palhoça

Coisa nossa, coisa nossa!

O samba e a prontidão

E outras bossas

São nossas coisas

São coisas nossas,

Malandro que não bebe

Que não come

Que não abandona o samba

Pois o samba mata a fome,

Morena bem bonita lá da roça,

Coisa nossa, coisa nossa..

O samba, a prontidão

E outras bossas,

São nossas coisas,

São coisas, coisas nossas!”

Noel Rosa. São Coisas Nossas

Mar a dentro

Pensamentos.me/VEM comigo!

O tempo encobre os nossos impasses

Alucinações

Murmúrios surdos

Crimes inconfessáveis

e classifica-os como preciosos.

Aceita com paciência

Os apelos de nossos gritos.

Enfeita com pérolas

A doce lamina

Que por vezes, nos deixa mutilados

Mas com um sol brilhando por dentro.

O tempo é submisso de nossas expectativas

Indecifrável

Obsceno

Impetuoso

Na estampa de nossa imaginação:

Recorda

Esmaga

Brinca

Com os personagens

Que inventamos.

É talvez uma janela aberta que nos leve a recordar

O que “encolhe e estica” em nós.

Inerte ao relógio

Ele só obedece as leis do coração

Aplaude a própria memória

Sopra

Em direção ao Mar

Fragmentado do que nos decifra!

No seu completo silêncio.
