Sun swims to shore
Melting blue to silver gold
Rhythmic ebb and flow
On liquid charcoal.

‘They screwed up our lake’: tar sands pipeline is sucking water from Minnesota watersheds | Tar sands | The Guardian
Minnesota is weathering an historic drought, but there is another problem beyond the weather: Enbridge’s Line 3 tar sands pipeline has taken a substantial toll on watersheds in the region, including through a permit to pump five billion gallons of water for construction. In the case of Upper Wild Rice Lake, a road construction contractor named Knife River Construction stuck a pump directly in the lake this past June, sucking out an unknown quantity of water, which locals suspect was related to the use of heavy trucks for the pipeline.
“As far as I’m concerned, Enbridge screwed up our lake, and they’re taking money directly away from our families,” Jerry Libby says. “It makes us feel anguished – this is our staple food, you know.”
The Indigenous-led struggle against Line 3, which seeks to move 930,000 barrels of tar sands bitumen daily from Alberta to a shipping and refinery hub in Superior, Wisconsin, has been the biggest environmental and Indigenous land protection campaign in the US this summer. More than 900 people have been arrested opposing the pipeline, including nearly 70 who were kettled in late August during protests outside Minnesota governor Tim Walz’s residence in Minneapolis.
Branded as a “replacement” project, the new pipeline would double the old Line 3’s capacity to carry tar sands bitumen. Enbridge, a Canada-based energy company, has announced it will begin sending oil through the pipeline next month.
A busca pela perfeição
A busca pela perfeição é o fascínio de todo ser humano. Ninguém passa pela vida sem dizer ” Eu procurei ser o melhor nisso ou aquilo”. Todos dizemos isso, independentemente, das falhas.E
Em tudo, existe o desejo de acertar, de descobrir o que é essa busca pela perfeição, e porque ela é essencial a nós, principalmente, ao nosso estado de espírito. Quando se falha por exemplo, sentimos que não fomos suficientes em alguma coisa, digo ” alguma lacuna ficou aberta”. Mas sabe o que é importante? Não é o nosso desejo em acertar tudo. “
É sim, a consciência de que essa busca pela perfeição, dar-se pelo ajuste. É só nele que se dá valor ao que é importante. O essencial é isso, o ajuste, ou seja, a correção das coisas que nos faz bem, promove a paz, fazendo-nos descansar, e ter esse sentimento de completude.
O ser humano é…

Holistic care
One of the reasons we should holistically take care of our bodies, minds, and souls is not to be taken back in our lifelong growth.

Jamaica to lead PAHO Directing Council meeting
Our Ministry of Health and Wellness team, headed by Minister Christopher Tufton, has been selected to head an important meeting of the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO), a branch of the World Health Organization. This is impressive (but, I suspect, a lot more work for Minister Tufton & Co., as if they didn’t have enough already!)

Now, they are on their way to the mostly virtual three-day meetingin Washington, DC. Of course, the ongoing challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic will be top of the agenda. A live stream of the meeting from September 20 – 24 can be viewed here. Here is the Ministry’s press release:
