The flowers brome…

Develop. Inspire. Transform.

I sat next to a flower once, bold and dared, growing through the ground, making its way into the ether air.

It perplexed me, in mid sentence, I stared, as a whisper came forth from the flower’s brome, hard to grasp in its block and form.

As the words mingled within me, and I stared at the petals mildly, I realized the words had taken on a life of their own, resonating within my heart’s home.

What, you ask, did the flower say to me on that day?

“Grow boldly, love fiercely, and, when in doubt, sit next to me here, and watch, listen, and learn; then, my friend, you will realize what love is all about.”

Drifting

De malinha pronta

Reprise

I’ve lost my soul
And my body doesn’t belong to me anymore
I feel like a small boat
Drifting away from the shore
Will you join me?
Shall we just be?
Together, we are stronger
And we see brighter
A whole new world
Is awaiting to be discovered
But feelings cannot be put into words
They are also drifting, undercovered.

The planet’s fever – Magic Mixture を

In addition to the residents of that small nation, it is estimated that more than 250 million people will have to leave their home in the coming decades because of the global warming It will make some places more arid, others more humid and some will be submerged for good.

The citizens of Tuvalu and other coastal regions represent the most visible facet of the risk, but they are nowhere near the only ones suffering from the consequences of climate change Changes that are the result of the current model of production and consumption and our lifestyle, which drain almost twice the resources that the Earth is able to supply a year.

From Brazilians to Siberians, to Americans and Australians, all, regardless of economic class, are already with Cheers in danger due to damage to environment and nature’s reactions to that process.

” As verdades e as quimeras.

Outras leis, outras pessoas.

Novo Mundo que começa.

Nova raça. Outro destino.

Planos de melhores eras.

E os inimigos atentos,

que , de olhos sinistros, valem.

E os aleives. E as denúncias.

E as ideias.

Jamaica’s private sector calls for transparency, adherence to rules in Bengal mining plans at Puerto Bueno

Petchary's Blog

Today, the Private Sector Organisation of Jamaica (PSOJ) expressed concern in a press release today about what seems to be a volte face by the Prime Minister on the matter of mining permits for the Bengal area of St. Ann (Puerto Bueno or Dry Harbour Mountain), which for a while appeared to have been abandoned after the company in question had once again failed to meet the requirements of the performance bond. However, the company is now going ahead – even though they had already failed to meet the terms imposed by the National Environment and Planning Agency (NEPA) not once, but twice. Well, third time lucky, it seems.

A reminder that the Holness administration recently demoted Environment and Climate Change (there is now NO ministryunder that banner) to “Economic Growth and Job Creation,” under the purview of his own office, like NEPA. There is no Environment/Climate Change Minister.

Voting Rights — Going … Going … ???

Filosofa's Word

Most states are passing laws that restrict voting rights, especially those of Blacks, Hispanics, the poor, the elderly and the young, and some of those laws are positively draconian!  For example, our friend Suze reports that …

“My own state has a bill under discussion that would make it a felony to provide transport to a voting site to anyone “not within their immediate family.”

So, if your neighbor’s car is in the shop being repaired, and the nearest polling place is ten miles away, you are forbidden to take them to vote???  I think not!  If such a law were passed here, I would double down on my determination to drive my friends and neighbors to the polling station and dare anybody to cross me!  Toss me in jail if you will … I won’t back down!  Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr …

Just this morning, Suze informed me that the bill failed…
