Frau, Leben, Freiheit – Internationaler Frauentag

Senioren um die Welt

Am 8. März ist Internationaler Frauentag, auch Weltfrauentag genannt. Jährlich wird mit Demos und Kundgebungen auf die Rechte von Frauen aufmerksam gemacht.. Dieses Mal möchte ich besonders die Frauen und Mädchen im Iran hervorheben, die seit langer Zeit vehement und teilweise unter Lebensgefahr für ihre Rechte im islamischen Staat kämpfen, wobei sie auch von vielen Männern unterstützt werden. Frau, Leben, Freiheit ist das Motto des Protestes.

Documentary captures stories of 5,434 Japanese Americans detained at Pomona Fairplex in WWII – San Gabriel Valley Tribune

More than 80 years after 5,434 Japanese American citizens were held in encampments at the Fairplex in Pomona at the height of World War II, efforts to preserve the stories of detainees continue.

On Friday, March 3, Bacon Sakatani, Mike Hatchimonji and Ted Hamachi — now in their 90s — revisited the fairgrounds where they and their families were ordered to live from May to August 1942 after disposing of their homes, businesses, and most of their possessions.

Peace and love are always alive … Peace and love are always alive – Stella, oh, Stella

Our kind Lord does not want his servants to despair because they fall so often and so hard: for our falling does not stop him loving us. Peace and love are always alive and active within us, though we are not always in a state of peace and love. He wants us to know that in love he is the foundation of the whole of our life and, even more, that he is our eternal protector.
― Julian of Norwich , Revelations of Divine Love

************************************************** **************

With this in mind, I wish you a Sunday filled with love.

… In this spirit I wish you all a Sunday filled with love.

The animal

Coisas da SIL

Essa semana iniciei minhas últimas disciplinas na Universidade, estava muito aflita pra resolver algumas pendências antes da minha conclusão acadêmica.

E enquanto parei e me sentei pra esperar e respirar um pouco me deparei com este animal super largado, super tranquilo, bem a vontade e refleti sobre a vida.

Cheguei em uma conclusão, tudo tem seu tempo… Suas respostas, suas resoluções…
Olhei pro gatinho chamado Teobaldo ele me dizia em um olhar entreaberto:

The animal

This week I started my last subjects at the University, I was very anxious to resolve some issues before my academic conclusion.

And while I stopped and sat down to wait and breathe a little, I came across this super laid back animal, super calm, at ease and I reflected on life.

I came to a conclusion, everything has its time… Your answers, your resolutions…
I looked at the kitten called…
