O Mundo está cheio de pessoas boas
Vivaldi translation of title: The world is full of good people
O Mundo está cheio de pessoas boas por aí. Cabe a você ver o que há de melhor nelas.
O Mundo está cheio de pessoas boas. Há muito que se pode catalogar em relação ao que elas dizem. Se há quem mereça o nosso amor, são essas pessoas que abrem caminhos para que possamos sincronizar energias positivas.
A pessoa boa, a pessoa do bem, ela tem a tendência de agir naturalmente. Em outras palavras, não tem nada ensaiando, fingido ou coisa parecida. Pessoas com essa característica, digo ” bondade” são humanistas, se preocupam com o outro, com o planeta, com a nossa maior religião que é o Amor. Se diz que são gente positiva, alegre, e que tem a capacidade de produzir coisas boas em nós. Outra característica marcante em relação a essas pessoas é que são pacíficas; elas também sabem ponderar diante de qualquer situação que precise discordar, porque…

Little Poems
Blue velvet night
Blue velvet night
A sapphire moon
On a lustrous viridescent sea
Sail away with me.
Under a bowl of sky
Under a bowl of sky
That has turned upside down
A cerise wind cries
Spilling white stars
Defying gravity
In ether’s immortality.
Tasting autumn
I ate a persimmon
It tasted of autumn
Tangerine’s last bloom
Auburn russet luminescence.
Silk orb-weavers
In the cobweb
I found a spider
Hanging by a thread
Barely clothed
In liquid silk
Soaked.
Sky run
Whisper of sapphire
Zephyr sequinned
In eagles’ cry
I see
Hues of dawn sky
A blue wind blows through
My heart
Skips a beat .

Norway’s Sami people fight for their land as reconciliation commission delves into their past | openDemocracy
– In the northernmost part of Norway, a Sámi community is fighting against a soon-to-be-opened “zero-emission” copper mine set to become one of the largest in Europe. The mine is to be dug on grazing land and will greatly affect Sámi families who have been using it for many centuries, possibly thousands of years.
– An international wind power consortium called “Fosen Vind” has set up 80 wind turbines in an area used as winter pastures by the southern Sámi. The consortium, founded by Credit Suisse, has appealed a Norwegian court’s ruling that sets at 90m NOK (10m USD) the compensation the Sámi are entitled to on losing that territory. The Norwegian government is siding with Fosen Vind in court.
What on Earth happened to article 108 of the Norwegian Constitution, saying that “the authorities of the State shall create conditions enabling the Sámi people to preserve and develop its language, culture and way of life”?
The Sámi have not given up their fight – rather the opposite. The new generations are proud of their identity: they keenly study the language they did not learn from their parents, whose own parents had concealed their origins and mingled with ethnic Norwegians after having been discriminated against for generations. Unsurprisingly, they wanted to give their children a better future, even though it meant living in self-denial.
In 1997, King Harald of Norway apologized in front of the Sami Parliament for the treatment they had been subjected to.
“The Norwegian state is founded on the territory of two peoples – Norwegians and Sami,” he said. “Sami history is closely intertwined with Norwegian history. Today we must apologize for the injustice the Norwegian state has previously inflicted on the Sami people through a harsh Norwegianisation policy.”
A Truth and Reconciliation Commission is currently investigating the past wrongs inflicted upon the natives, to lay the foundations for “greater equality between the majority and minority population”. A final report should be ready by the autumn of 2022.
Galway Bay View from Dún Aonghasa

Another aspect of the gradual 1/2 mile inclined path to the central ring of the prehistoric Dun Aonghasa ruins of County Galway, Ireland.
The view north, northwest from this way to Dun Aonghasa (Dun Aengus). In early June, looking across wildflowers, karst landscape, walled fields, farms, the North Atlantic Ocean, coast of Connemara and the 12 Bens (12 Pins) mountains.
Note the doorway (with long lintel) in the surrounding wall, to left of center in middle distance.

living IN the moment vs living FOR the moment
Inhale Peace; Exhale Love. Joy will Follow! - RUELHA
When people tell you to forget about tomorrow And to live your life carefree without sorrow do you think they're like the stupid grasshopper? Who will not have food in winter to devour! Yet you see those who live carefree unperturbed by the bothers of reality And they are the ones who seem happy. When the rest of the world is burdened with worry. So am I suggesting you splurge your life savings and forget tomorrow? And then with a begging bowl go around looking to borrow! Of course not! There is something called 'balance'. Although maintaining that for some, is quite the challenge! Have you really understood the difference that preposition brings? 'Living in the moment' is all about detachment from strings. Savour each moment and let your inner being delve into the present. Without anxiety of the future or in past burdens to ferment. It's about having the…
