Gold merchant Cartier’s use of Amazon tribe prompts Indigenous advocates to allege hypocrisy! Yanomami say: “How can a gold jewelry company, which we Yanomami people are against, use the image of the Yanomami?” & “Anyone who buys a gold ring is part of the crime!” | Barbara Crane Navarro

Street Artist Ernaste Nasimo
By NASIMO at Mural Fest Kosova: Anti-corruption, in Ferizaj, Kosovo (2018).

I’M NOT AN ALCOHOLIC BUT…. | NANMYKEL.COM

….I can use something like AA’s Serenity Prayer: ” Grant to us the serenity of mind to accept that which cannot be changed; courage to change that which can be changed, and wisdom to know the one from the other.”
I had to erase the mythical additional words to make the prayer feel real for me. Prayer? From whom to whom?
I remind myself of a poem I wrote in Time Wrinkles:
REALITY?
I’m going down fast with no soft landing.
No longer do I know what I knew, really KNEW!
Embryos and corpses collide as parachute
jumpers drown
in puddles amid hills of salt from which rises
the fabled Atlantis.
I’m present at the blow-out, but for naught.
No breath-taking poetry or inspired works of art;
no love, no troth, no arias, no green glades filled
with singing birds, no selfless devotion to exalted
visions or search for the truth. Was there ever
any truth? Who am I asking?

A Candid Reflection
Do you ever find yourself caught in the web of life’s little annoyances? Those moments when you just can’t help but vent about the daily challenges that seem to test your patience? Join me in a candid reflection as we explore the things I complain about the most, and perhaps you can relate!
1. The Perpetual Traffic Jam:
Every morning, it’s the same old story – a symphony of honking horns, brake lights, and the perpetual struggle to inch forward. The traffic gods must have a sense of humor, testing my resilience as I navigate the daily grind.
2. The Mystery of Vanishing Socks:
Laundry day becomes a suspenseful journey into the unknown as socks seem to vanish into a mysterious black hole, leaving me to wonder if there’s a secret sock society plotting against my perfectly matched pairs.
3. The Unpredictable Weather:
Mother Nature’s mood swings keep me on my toes. One minute it’s sunshine and rainbows, the next it’s a downpour of epic proportions. I’ve learned to keep an umbrella and sunscreen within arm’s reach at all times.
4. Technology’s Quirks:
Ah, the wonders of modern technology! From autocorrect mishaps to the endless battle against Wi-Fi woes, each day brings a new chapter in the ongoing saga of navigating the intricacies of our digital world.
5. Monday Blues:
Who isn’t familiar with the relentless Monday Blues? The weekend feels like a distant memory, and the workweek looms ahead. It’s a universal sentiment that unites us in the collective sigh heard around the world.
While these may seem like minor grievances, sometimes it’s the little things that make life amusingly exasperating. So, here’s to embracing the quirks, finding humor in everyday struggles, and sharing a collective chuckle at the unpredictability of life. After all, a good complaint is just another way of saying, “Hey, I’m human too!”
What about you? What’s your go-to complaint, and how do you navigate life’s amusing challenges? Share your thoughts below! 😊😊
