Losing My North Star

yaskhan

Poetry finds me
Holding my grief....stained red
In the hush of loss...the blood that brought me to life
Silence that aches. ...deep
Candling the flame of time that  will not come back.
Like a bruise on my soul
A reddened firelight
In the inside of a teardrop
The unbroken breath of memories
That flow from an old photo album
Eyes fill up
Dissolving in the salt of quiet release.
In the solitude of being
I remember and hold
In the heaven colored stars that shine
Severing a bond
suffering a social distancing
Infinity and beyond
Press pause...fingers of wild loneliness fasten
For a heart stopping moment
Life decides to go away.

Namowë, su hermano de 13 años, espera salir al día siguiente para su primera cacería con los hombres de la comunidad. Pero, en lugar de eso, para salvar a su hermana, tendrá que emprender la búsqueda de una planta que el chamán no posee.

Captivate good manners,

Believe in the kindness of people.

The world is not just made up of smart people.

It is a mistake to think that only those who deceive, hurt with words, who pretend to be good friends, humble themselves to feel better take advantage.

Good manners, generous attitudes are also part of genuine hearts.

She has a smile coated with simplicity that expresses unparalleled beauty.

There are people who like hugs, the smell of coffee, the smile of a child, the flowers left at the door.

There are those who say that it is worth believing in the dreams you have, those that you only tell yourself….

Operation Warp Speed chief : ‘Miscommunication’ in Pfizer vaccine rollout – UPI.com

“There is no problem with the process,” Perna said. “There is no problem with the Pfizer vaccine. There is no problem with the Moderna vaccine. It was a planning error, and I am responsible.”

Perna referred to the Food and Drug Administration as “the gold standard not just in America but around the world,” and said he has to wait until the vaccine doses are releasable in accordance with the agency.

He apologized to the state governors who may have started planning based on the initial doses forecast.

“Please accept my personal apology if this was disruptive to your decision-making,” Perna said, adding that he would personally brief governors Monday.

Perna added that Operation Warp Speed would not “cut corners” in vaccine distribution.
