” Felicidade é o que somos. Amor, bondade, respeito e carinho, constrói-se através do que sentimos. A ideia de felicidade está nos pequenos acontecimentos, e o despertar para isso, se faz no uso da razão para seguir os nossos caminhos.” Marii Freire https://Pensamentos.me/VEM comigo!

Eyevolution

Outlandish we’re those coal black eyes
Fringed with thick black lashes
Lingering in their depths
Dreams unreleased into reality
Time could only take to unfold
Like the eyes of an ardent lover
Holding in their depth a dreamy yet warm glow

As those eyes slowly lick your face
With bated breath you brace
Looking into the eyes of a mystic
As you strain to catch the emotions that flicker
Is it love, anger or humour ?
Like the kindling of a flame
Too bright to encounter
Too brief to catch their message

You have been holding your breath
And now, you will be the first to look away
Vulnerable under those probing eyes
Stripping you off your emotions.

Remarks by Vice President Kamala Harris on the Florida State Board of Education Curriculum Updates Includes, “Middle School Students In Florida Will Now Be Told That Enslaved People Benefited From Slavery”

And, by the way, be really clear — be really clear: All the folks that we would go out and send our children to go and meet around the world are clear about our history, and we’re going to send our own children out to not know what it is?  Building in a handicap for our children, that they are going to be the ones in the room who don’t know their own history when the rest of the world does?

Think about this for a moment — the levels of proportion.

So when I think about where we are, I do believe that our strength as a nation has always been because we are continuously and always invested in fighting to reach our ideals.

New federal office on pandemics will replace one dedicated to Covid-19 | Courthouse News Service

President Joe Biden appointed a retired Air Force general to serve as the inaugural director of a new office on pandemic response.

The Office of Pandemic Preparedness and Response Policy, which will report to the president, will replace the Covid-19 Response Team and Mpox Team at the White House, which itself is a Biden-era replacement of the Trump administration’s Coronavirus Task Force.

Major General Paul Friedrichs, who steps into the role of director Aug. 7, has served as adviser to Biden and the National Security Council for the last month and previously served as the command surgeon for the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

The new office will lead, coordinate and implement measures to prepare and, if necessary, respond to biological threats or pathogens that could impact public health.
