Ann and Anna, (serial short story, Part 4): Home

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

       Part 1: Nightmare, Part 2: Hope, Part 3: Trust…       

 

 

     We were on our way again, north. 

 

     We had agreed that it seemed safer to travel by night, despite my fear of getting lost.  

 

     Anna had shown me how to find the Pole star, explaining that we had come up 16th Street and out the Rockville Pike from the President’s House.  Now that we were off of the main roads, keeping a close watch on our direction and on how far we traveled each hour were very important.  We had left Rockville heading North, and should cross into Pennsylvania after several days at this pace.  Anna set a walking pace just quick enough not to tire old Mary, but slow enough to talk quietly along the way.  Pine needles underfoot muffled the sound of our travel…

What Happens when children become aware of the need for Environmental Care

When children are aware of the need for environmental care

They will want to learn about the solutions for the problems we have here

and make great contributions so problems will disappear

And now there are eco-kids eBooks that adults can borrow and share

Building environmental protection awareness in a new and better way is more important now

As the climate emergency won’t go away if we don’t change what we are doing somehow

Teaching children about environmental care could cause the adults to make changes too

If we want to continue living on earth, we need to change what we do

Children can start reusing plastic in many ways

And start planning to see brighter days

They can start putting plastic in the recycling bin

And talk about reusing glass, cardboard and tins

If we want to stop eating food that…

Vivaldi translation: “The history of women in our country is a history of courage”. Before, they didn’t let us have a voice. We can say that we suffer all kinds of quiet injustice. But today, women have been echoing their voice in every corner of the planet.

” A história da mulher em nosso país, é uma história de coragem “. Antes, não nos deixaram ter voz. Podemos dizer que sofremos todo tipo de injustiça calada. Mas hoje, a mulher tem ecoando a sua voz em todos os cantos do planeta.

Contemplemos a memória do homem que somos. Apesar de imperfeitos, agregamos recordações que nos fazem experimentar um olhar presente sobre aquilo que somos, temos e guardamos entre parênteses “. A memória é um recurso eficaz, útil e perfeito como o tempo.

Florida Surgeon General Refuses to Don Mask in Cancer-Suffering Senator’s Office

When Florida’s new surgeon general met with a state senator this week, he was seeking her vote for his confirmation. She ended up ejecting him from her office. Joseph Ladapo, an erstwhile proponent of hydroxychloroquine appointed by Gov. Ron DeSantis, refused to cover his face at Tina Polsky’s request. Polsky was diagnosed with Stage 1 breast cancer in August and is slated to start radiation next week, so Ladapo’s refusal made her “really uncomfortable,” she said.

The surgeon general has questioned the efficacy of coronavirus vaccines. When Polsky asked Ladapo whether there was a reason he couldn’t wear a mask, “He just smiles and doesn’t answer. He’s very smug,” she said. “And I told him several times, ‘I have this very serious medical condition.’ And he said, ‘That’s OK,’ like it basically has nothing to do with what we are talking about.” Polsky asked that Ladapo leave, and he agreed. According to his own office, he said as he walked out, “Sometimes I try to reason with unreasonable people for fun.”

Du bist der Baum des Lebens … You are the tree of life

Stella, oh, Stella

Du bist der Baum des Lebens. Hüte dich davor, dich selbst zu zerteilen. Spiele nicht eine Frucht gegen eine andere Frucht aus, ein Blatt gegen ein anderes Blatt, einen Ast gegen einen anderen Ast; noch spiele den Stamm gegen die Wurzeln aus; den Baum auch nicht gegen die Muttererde. Genau das tut man, wenn man einen Teil mehr liebt als den Rest oder den Rest ausschließt.

Du bist der Baum des Lebens. Deine Wurzeln sind überall. Deine Äste und Blätter sind überall. Deine Früchte sind in jedem Mund. Was auch immer die Früchte an diesem Baum sind; was auch immer seine Äste und Blätter sind; was auch immer ihre Wurzeln sind, sie sind deine Früchte; es sind deine Blätter und Äste; sie sind deine Wurzeln; Wenn du willst, dass der Baum süße und duftende Früchte trägt, wenn du willst, dass er immer stark und grün ist, sorge für den Saft…
