Barbara Crane Navarro

Rainforests help to keep our climate stable by absorbing Carbon Dioxide and releasing oxygen. The Amazon Rainforest alone provides 20% of our oxygen…We need to raise awareness of the importance of our rainforests because as you all know we need oxygen and without that …I don’t need to spell it out BUT they are[…]

Neprijatelji su napadali sa sjevera, zaštićeni brdima iznad Sukotaja. Bili su brojčano nadmoćniji i dobro naoružani. Kralju U Tonu činilo se da je svaki otpor uzaludan, tako da je jednog dana, 1350. godine, donio bolnu odluku da napusti prijestonicu Sijama, osnovanu manje od sto godina, prije toga. Pitao je svoje vojne planere i mudrace za savjet, na kom bi mjestu trebalo podići novi grad. Prvi ga je posavjetovao da krene na jug, u ravnicu, gdje budući neprijatelj neće moći da stigne, a da ne bude primjećen izdaleka. Drugi je pogledao svete tekstove i posavjetovao ga da potraži mjesto gdje nam, voda koja se nalazi u korijenu simbolizma naroda Taj, ima spiralni tok. S takvim savjetima, kralje je poslao emisare u izvidnicu. Oni su se vratili kada su pronašli staru kmersku naseobinu u središtu složenog riječnog sistema, nastalog djelovanjem rijeka Mae Nam Lopburi, Pasak i Čao Praja. U Ton je…

Thoughtful Thursdays, Stayed on Freedom with the Call of Freedom, and Community

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

It is important to remember how many communities, like the Black and Jewish communities have worked together to aid one another, years ago.

So, how do we each help our society to become more fully inclusive for all of us today, and to come and work together, for all of us?

I believe that attention to shared histories, as in DC, may provide part of an answer. I started a note about that, a few years ago, in my book Stayed on Freedom’s Call:

” … ́s and worsening through the Wilson administration.
Most White-owned businesses also refused to give anything more than menial jobs, if that, to
colored workers, even when the stores were located in colored neighborhoods.

The exception to this rule, particularly with regard to workers and the trying on of clothing in department stores, were several Jewish owned department stores,

मेरी डायरी

ज़िंदगी में ऐसे ना जाने कितने मौके आते हैं जब हम सोचते है की अगर हमने अपना ये लक्ष्य पा लिया तो हमारी ज़िंदगी से सारी समस्या समाप्त हो जाएगी। उदाहरण के लिए जब हम छात्र होते है तो हमे लगता हैं की अगर हमनें परीक्षा में अच्छा प्रदर्शन किया और अच्छे मार्क्स स्कोर किए तो हमारी सारी समस्या खत्म हो जाएंगी।जब हम थोड़े और बड़े होते है तो लगता है की बस अच्छी सी नौकरी लग जाए फिर तो जीवन में कोई समस्या ही नहीं रहेगी , पर नौकरी लग जाने के बाद सोचते है की बस अपने मन पसंद व्यक्ति से विवाह हो जाए तो जीवन परेशानियों से मुक्त हो जायेगा । फिर विवाह पश्चात सोचने लगते है की बच्चे अच्छे से पढ़े, उनकी नौकरी लग जाए , अच्छे घर में शादी हो जाए तो सभी समस्यों का हाल हो जायेगा । इसी उधेड़ बुन में ना जाने…
