” Um autor tem que escrever todos dias, esse é o seu ofício. A experiência de escrever o afasta da monotonia, e o aproxima de quem ele é: autor. Seu instrumento, a escrita exprime a arte das palavras. Estas, usadas para definir seu conteúdo e traços. Um autor, raramente, modifica essa condição, porque a sua imaginação é fecunda, isto é, ele cria. Não por acaso, essa arte o define. Um autor é composto por sua estética, estilo e seus próprios pedaços para ampliar o prazer daqueles que o leem.

” Tenho duas armas para lutar contra o desespero, a tristeza e até a morte: o riso a cavalo e o galope do sonho. É com isso que enfrento essa dura e fascinante tarefa de viver.”

Once Upon a Time

From Behind the Pen

Once Upon a Time

Once upon a time, the day stood still for a moment

a time that is no more because it passed to the past

Once upon a time, there was something brand new

a newness that aged in the presence of change

Once upon a time, the magic of a story began

as sequels flowed into an endless space of tellers

Once upon a time, the familiar was comforting

now, what was comforting is no longer familiar

Once upon a time, where seeds began to sprout

first fruits herald a harvest horn of plenty

Once upon a time, where learning was forbidden

lessons unfold in the breath of life no longer hidden.

Three little piggies could have had a hemp house

Darcy Hitchcock

In the children’s story, the Three Little Pigs, the straw house gets blown apart by the big, bad wolf. If that piggie had used hemp instead, it would have survived.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemp

Hemp is one of the fastest growing plants, a non-psychoactive form of marijuana/cannabis, which can be part of the walls (hempcrete) and insulation (HempWool.)

HempWool insulation is made from 90% hemp fibers and 10% binder. It is the only insulation on the market that is carbon negative. This means that architects can lower a building’s embodied carbon footprint by integrating HempWool for a project’s insulation needs. Additionally, the panels are safe to be handled without gloves and can be used for floors, walls and ceilings to provide acoustic and thermal insulation.

♫ Cupid ♫

Filosofa's Word

I was actually planning to play Africa by Toto tonight, but a couple of things changed my mind.  No worries, though … I’ll definitely be playing it soon, for it’s a song that … speaks to me, that I really like.  Instead, I figured some Sam Cooke would be just the thing to get me over the holiday weariness that seems to be stronger as we get older.  Nothin’ quite like Mr. Sam!


Who doesn’t love the voice of Sam Cooke?  Sam Cooke wrote this song, but the original intent wasn’t for him to sing it.  Cooke’s producers had asked him to write a song for a girl they had seen on a Perry Como TV show — but once they heard her sing, they kept “Cupid” for Cooke himself.  She must’ve really botched it!

It was Cooke’s idea to drop in the sound of an arrow being fired “straight…

New days to come

Idiomas RalFer

for everyone

new things to be done

in the world’s run

among the resolutions

peace is real revolution

Peace – Norah Jones

There’s a place that I know
Where the sycamores grow
And daffodils have their fun
Where the care of the day
Seem to slowly fade away
In the glow of the evening sun

Peace when the day is done
If I go there real late
Let my mind meditate
On everything to be done

If I search deep inside
Let my conscience be my guide
Then the answers are sure to come
Don’t have to worry none

When you find peace of mind
Leave your worries behind
Don’t say that it can’t be done
With a new point of view
Life’s true meaning comes to you
And the freedom you seek is won

Peace is for everyone
Peace is for everyone
Peace is for everyone

Asians left out of the picture in explosive award-winning films – AsAmNews

The exclusion of Asian faces from all three documentaries seems to indicate a wider problem. For the documentaries Love of Fire and Fire Within we should ask: Are all the experts on the Unzen eruption White? To have victims who are non-white not to have a voice in a documentary is troubling especially when one sees that both are willing to provide written public statements.
