Israeli airstrike kills eight at Gaza aid centre, witnesses say | Reuters

Eight Palestinians were killed on Sunday in an Israeli airstrike on a training college near Gaza City being used to distribute aid, Palestinian witnesses said, as Israeli tanks pushed further into the southern city of Rafah.
The strike hit part of a vocational college run by the U.N. Palestinian refugee agency UNRWA that is now providing aid to displaced families, the witnesses said.
“Some people were coming to receive coupons and others had been displaced from their houses and they were sheltering here. Some were filling up water, others were receiving coupons, and suddenly we heard something falling. We ran away, those who were carrying water let it spill,” said Mohammed Tafesh, one of the witnesses.

Ilusión – Ventana literaria

ILUSIÓN

Tan lejos
y tan cerca
que no hay silencios
cuando nos miramos.
No hay nostalgias,
solo un idioma
dos labios y un corazón
robando tiempo al tiempo.
¿Qué es aquello?
Un pensamiento o un sueño,
o ese beso que llega
-con la mirada y la memoria-
abrazando el alma
en ese sincero silencio
donde nace la ilusión.

LMML.

DELUSION

So far
and so close
that there are no silences
when we look at each other.
There are no nostalgia,
only one language
two lips and a heart
stealing time from time.
What is that?
A thought or a dream,
or that kiss that arrives
-with the look and the memory-
hugging the soul
in that sincere silence
where the illusion is born.

Gunmen kill at least six police and a priest in attacks in Russia’s Dagestan | Russia | The Guardian

…Russia has experienced a series of Islamist terrorist attacks recently, prompting questions about whether its extensive security agencies have been distracted by the invasion of Ukraine and the internal crackdown on anti-war dissent.

In March, the Afghan branch of Islamic State, known as Islamic State Khorasan Province, claimed responsibility for the mass shooting at a Moscow concert hall, the deadliest terror attack in years, which left 139 people dead.

Last week, Russian special forces freed two guards and killed six men linked to IS who had taken them hostage at a detention centre in the southern city of Rostov.

Dagestan has also experienced a series of antisemitic incidents. Most notably, last year a mob stormed the airport in Makhachkala, searching for Jewish passengers arriving from Israel.

Here’s the opening lines for my three poems:

The Phoenix

I rose out of the ashes and spread my wings,

A phoenix forced to look at the world with different eyes. . .

The Window

The old woman sits by a cracked window,

Gazing out over the past

And a lonely road, straight and narrow,

Running past the house. . .

Waking Up the Corpse

You made me

feel

the rich colors and music

of life

the joy and sorrow

and all the notes in between. . .

Here’s the purchase link for Amazon: https://a.co/d/07YlvQ9q. Available in paperback and Kindle.

Leitura – Pensamentos.me/VEM comigo!

Mil páginas cria um jardim de resiliência, se comparado a pensamentos que, pesar do acúmulo de experiências, não produzem nada,  ou seja, consciência que não muda. Portanto, é crucial que o indivíduo seja adepto da leitura  para que interiorizando aquilo que decifra, seja capaz de expandir o que pensa por meio de sua autocrítica. Culturalmente, sabemos que, pessoas que leem com frequência, estas, são mais coerentes e lúcidas ao se expressar em qualquer ambiente.
