Panettone, or pan dulce as my Argentine mother calls it, is one of my family’s favorite desserts that I make. For anyone who has yet to become acquainted with panettone, it’s the queen of winter holiday fruit breads. Traditionally shaped like a chef’s hat (though mine are more freeform, same…

En vez de arrancar flores

¿Y si, un día, en vez de arrancar flores, las cultivo y adorno los caminos de la vida? ¿Y si, a cierta hora, retiro el lenguaje que insulta y lastima y lo coloco en los paisajes del bien, del amor y de la verdad? ¿Y si, en algún momento de mi existencia, renuncio a tanto peso y liviandad, y reparto los detalles que cargo en mi mochila? ¿Y si, una fecha y otras más, abandono el asiento del teatro y me presento en el escenario con la idea de convertirme en protagonista de una historia cautivante, genial e inolvidable? ¿Y si, ahora mismo, dejo de presumir tantos anillos en mis dedos y ofrezco mis manos a quienes necesitan, urgentemente, un apoyo? ¿Y si, lejos de compararme con los demás y hacerlos mis rivales, me hermano con ellos y, juntos…

Day 26/67 High School in Five Months, Relationships, and Adulting Education

Context, Thought, and Learning: ShiraDest Offers Project Do Better

     Understanding how to see how various shapes, quantities, people, or policies relate to each other is a crucial part of Adult citizenship responsibility,  and is thus part of any democracy movement as well.

     The relationship between a square and a rectangle is quite simple, analogous to the relationship between Newton’s Laws of Motion and Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity: that of the special case of the larger subset.

Eu sou corresponsável por aquilo que faço

Pensamentos.me/VEM comigo!

Como anda a sua vida? Como tem lidado com os fatos, com as situações adversas? E com você, o seu íntimo? Tudo bem? Tem sido forte, ou você é uma daquelas pessoas que ficam um longo período processando fatos que te aconteceram? Saiba que não podemos mudar a nossa natureza, como também, não podemos mudar o que nos acontece. A única coisa que o ser humano é capaz de fazer diante de situações que o contrária, é procurar agregar um novo sentido as coisas antigas. É acrescentar valor as coisas que o incomoda. Sim, nós podemos começar pequeno, mudando o significado de algo aqui, outro ali, e quando vemos, nos tornamos melhores do que a nossa versão anterior.

Conhecer a si mesmo, ouvir a voz interior, respirar de forma consciente, são situações que fazem parte do que podemos controlar. A gente não deve abrigar coisas velhas. Dê passagem a elas!…

our love, airborne

by Jeff Flesch, Monthly Contributor

site: https://jeffflesch.com/

the sun rising in the morn, reminding me of times,
forlorn, dust-laden hands, breathing in all I can,
while looking to the stones in the
riverbend

wafting this way and that, gathering debris, kept,
from the tides, even as we diatribe,
about the loss felt, within
our cradled
breast

beating like a drum, as we wonder about tomorrow’s
hum, learning more about what is torn, and
realizing the river, once turned to stone,
is now full of

our love, airborne…

Does Mutual Aid speak to your condition?

LANDBACK Friends

For the past week I’ve been writing daily to prepare for a discussion at my Quaker meeting this Sunday. (See the table at the end listing those posts).

Yesterday’s post is an example of why I need to prepare. I went a bit off track. There is a lot to Mutual Aid, and we can’t cover it all in one hour. I hope there will be interest to continue to explore more about Mutual Aid after this weekend’s discussion.

In the quote below (Quaker) George Fox uses the term “speak to my condition”. I think that might be a way to frame Sunday’s discussion, does Mutual Aid speak to our condition today?

But as I had forsaken the priests, so I left the separate preachers also, and those esteemed the most experienced people; for I saw there was none among them all that could speak to my condition.And when…

Thoughtful Thursdays, Stayed on Freedom’s Call page 45, and “Farther Along”

Context, Thought, and Learning: ShiraDest Offers Project Do Better

       How do neighbors in your town come together?

 

     I started my own walking singing tour company in the belief that song was a powerful way to help bring people together to learn from our history.  Some of what I learned is in my book Stayed on Freedom’s Call (last week was page 44…):

 

” … 1. The site of Bleak House: Geranium St, NW, between 15 th and 14 th Streets, NW

   It has been here since the year 1870, and now “Boss” Alexander Robey Shepherd’s mansion Bleak House, named for the Dickens novel which he and his wife read
together, is finally being torn down. Now that 1916 has arrived, so have developers who want to subdivide and build houses in this lovely area.   For the “Better Classes,” of course.   What will it be like in forty more years, we wonder?
