Useful news for all to advance knowledge of the world and how it works

International Day of Peace (United Nations)

Lolsys Library

Well where I do begin? Haha.

The world does not feel very peaceful at the moment, does it?

While we cannot control others, we can help others still and we can help give ourselves the power to give ourselves peace.

Be at peace, knowing though, that YOU do have the power to change your attitude and how you treat others.

Climate Change Causes So Much Devastation

FunWritings

Life can go from being great to becoming something you almost hate

When wild fires leave you in a burnt out home and no reason to celebrate

The difficulties caused by climate change can be easily ignored by some

Will they be willing to look at climate refugees and say welcome

After a person spend their whole life investing in their property and family and then get displaced

Only love and empathy shown by others will help us to survive and see the survival of the human race

However, if some folks don’t know about climate change because it has not affected them as yet

Day 5 of GED in 5 months, libraries, and La Convivencia during Sukkot (aka Tabernacles)!

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

During this holiday of Sukkot, aka the Feast of Tabernacles, or Booths, the verse proclaiming this holiday as one of inclusion for all nations, and that inclusion which happened 1000 years ago in Islamic Spain, seems especially important to remember, today. 

Remember, if we did it before, we can do it again!  We go farthest fastest by working together, right? 

“Of course, right!”

Libraries are one of the greatest legacies of the Convivencia (remember that cooperation, in Muslim Spain, of Jewish, Christian and Islamic scholars, that gave Europe books again?), and one of the key parts of Phase I of the Four Freedoms movement.
