Honouring our Source

The Earth wasn’t formed by us, we were formed by the Earth. It’s time we let go of our misconceptions and honour the source of our existence.

November 2nd – Haruka Murakami

Seclusion 101 with AnneMarie

Today’s ‘words of wisdom’ come from Japanese writer  Haruka Murakami. 

“When you come out of the storm, you won’t be the same person who walked in.  That’s what this storm is all about.”

– Haruka Murakami (Kafka on the Shore)

In my mind, that is what all of life’s storms are about – to change us.   

My mother used to tell me “What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger”.  At the time, I thought she was literally talking about death and I would think  ‘Just kill me already’.   🙄 As time went on and I saw my experiences and the experiences of others from a distance, I realized she was talking about becoming a survivor and thriving or giving up and being left broken.   

Through my life, I have been through many storms.  Inevitably,the storms have helped me to survive and thrive.   Sadly, I have seen others who did not fare…

CDC Panel Recommends Pfizer Vaccine for Children Ages 5 to 11 – The New York Times

Scientific advisers to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Tuesday unanimously endorsed the Pfizer-BioNTech coronavirus vaccine for use in children aged 5 through 11 in the United States, a move that will buttress defenses against a possible surge as winter arrives and ease the worries of tens of millions of pandemic-weary parents.

If Dr. Rochelle Walensky, the agency’s director, formally accepts the recommendation, as expected, inoculations for children aged 5 to 11 could begin as soon as this week. The Food and Drug Administration on Friday authorized the vaccine for emergency use in younger children following a near-unanimous recommendation from its own advisers last week.

Por que as pessoas boas morrem?

Pensamentos.me/VEM comigo!

Começo esse texto afirmando que ” as pessoas morrem!”.Quem vive, em algum momento, deixa de viver. Portanto, morrer também é uma condição de quem não é imortal. Que bom seria se vivêssemos pra sempre, mas o mundo seria pequeno para comportar tanta gente. E, o nosso propósito aqui é “nascer, deixar a nossa descendência e partir”. ” “Chegasse num instante, e num instante também se parte” sem avisar muitas vezes, aqueles que amamos para não assustar.

Sim, um dia, se nasce.. e no outro, como diz a letra da canção, ” a gente vai embora”. E vai de uma forma que deixa o coração apertado para os que aqui ficam. Um ar de soluço, aquela sensação de vazio em meio a olhos cobiçosos. ” Olhos cobiçosos de saudades! desinceridade, de silêncio, ou do que nem se precisou falar. Acrefite: apesar de algumas cicatrizes abertas que a morte nos deixa, porque…

Ägypten – Land der Pharaonen

Will never forget my brief visit to Giza, Cairo and Alexandria. Wonder of wonders.

Senioren um die Welt

Es begann mit einer Postkarte, die meine Mutter als Kind von ihrem Patenonkel aus Ägypten bekam. Auf der Postkarte war die rätselhafte Sphinx bei den Pyramiden von Gizeh zu sehen. Ihr Onkel hatte Anfang des 20. Jahrhunderts in Ägypten bei Ausgrabungen mitgearbeitet und schrieb ganz begeistert von seiner Arbeit und den enormen Schätzen, die es dort zu sehen gab. Meine Mutter hütete die Postkarte wie einen wertvollen Schatz und nahm sich fest vor, eines Tages selbst nach Ägypten zu fahren, um die Große Sphinx und die Pyramiden zu sehen. In allen schwierigen Situationen des Krieges, der Flucht, Vertreibung und der Nachkriegszeit hatte sie die Postkarte aufbewahrt. Und sie hat sich tatsächlich ihren jahrzehntelangen Traum erfüllt: sie ist nach Ägypten gefahren, allein, da war sie 74 Jahre alt !
