In my fear of the slave hunters, I had forgotten my fear of riding.

That was a grave error.

“Shoot ‘im again! Shoot ‘im!!”

As I looked back at that bear, its terrible face lifted to the sky, my grip on old Mary’s mane slipped a little. I let go with my right hand, reaching down as I turned my head back, feeling for the reins. More shots rang out, and I jumped, losing the right rein I had just retrieved. I was barely managing to keep my seat, stretched over the pommel as I was.

Then I saw the log.

When I awoke, it seemed like days must have passed. Night had fallen, cold and still. The smell of pine…

A violência atinge todas as mulheres

Vivaldi translation of title: Violence affects all women

Pensamentos.me/VEM comigo!

A violência contra a mulher é real. E o que se sabe é que, ela não escolhe idade, sexo ou cor. O combate à violência é uma luta diária. A Violência Doméstica e Familiar é também um problema gravíssimo que temos que procurar limitar na nossa sociedade. Limitar tanto no que diz respeito a agressões, ameaças e até o seu resultado mais grave que é o crime de feminicídio. Nós precisamos ir além em relação a esse crime. Quando se fala em crime de feminicídio no Brasil, temos que compreender que ele parte de uma “ação premeditada”. Isso significa dizer que o ex-marido ou o ex-companheiro, articula cada detalhe dessa violência, ou dessa barbárie contra a vítima.

Se você conhece a sua falibilidade como pessoa, não construa metas inatingíveis. Antes, planeje coisas que você sabe que tem a capacidade intelectual para alcancá-las.
Comece devagar! Caminhe, corra quando necessário, escale; planeje novamente o próximo passo, e no último degrau dos seus objetivos: voe! 🦋

Better Half

yaskhan

Sitting in solitude 
She feels his words rise on her breath
Like an angel he sparks her soul

Lighting her wings
Letting her fly

Hé graces her ink
Making it distinct
He is her symphony that serenades silence in time’s frame.

She feels his touch
Golden , fragrant
His knowledge eternal
His wisdom in her heartbeat radiant

His breath wraps a tune in her head
She forgets her pain
Because there is laughter shared

She lives and she learns
In ivory pages and midnight yearnings.
