The last question was: “What would you say made you feel the most fortunate and blessed over the years?”

The guest replied: “I passed four stages in my life to finally find true prosperity:

At first, I thought wealth would make me happy but that wasn’t the only solution.

Next, I started to collect valuables but that gave me temporary happiness.

Third, I started to take on huge projects, buying properties, yet I still didn’t feel happy deep inside.

What Is a Die-Elect?

Foundation Operation X for Languages, Cultures and Perspectives

Written by Dyami Millarson

A dialect is, in a certain sense, a language that is elected to die. In other words, languages branded as dialects have been singled out for disappearance from the face of the earth. Many who call such languages dialects, which are often useless in their eyes anyway and merely outdated relics from the past, ascribe to the idea that the death of dialects is inevitable, and it is even a sign of progress.

People see dialects as obstacles that must either be eradicated actively or passively be allowed to die off. A negative connotation is inherently linked with the modern concept of dialect, and this cannot be removed from it. In fact, dialect is, I would argue, inherently linguicidal. People insisting that they use this term in a neutral sense are perpetuating this negative connotation.

A dialect is often defined within a geographic framework as a…

Healing herbal teas – ForHealthForHealth

It seems that our ancestors experimentally brewed everything as soon as they realized that this could be done. And in addition to herbs, flowers, leaves of various shrubs, roots and fruits also went into business – mostly berries, but not rarely fruits. And in all parts of the plants, something is contained. Of fruits and berries, apples, currants, cranberries, lingonberries, rose hips, blueberries, plums and mountain ash are most often added to herbs. And from the roots, these are usually the roots of dandelion, burdock and ginseng. Source: Healing herbal teas – ForHealthForHealth

Un conte initiatique – “La Magie de l’Amazonie – Les aventures de Namowë, un garçon Yanomami”

An initiatory tale – “The Magic of the Amazon – The adventures of Namowë, a Yanomami boy”

Barbara Crane Navarro

illustration tirée de “La Magie de l’Amazonie – Les aventures de Namowë, un garçon Yanomami”

Dès ses premières pages La Magie de l’Amazonie, cet attachant livre pour enfants, décrit un monde presque inimaginable au XXIe siècle. Un monde tropical, luxuriant et agité, débordant d’une vie en communion avec les esprits des animaux et des plantes.

Tout commence à l’intérieur d’un shabono, l’habitation collective des Yanomami. Un chaman danse dans la lumière du feu d’un foyer, une danse rituelle implorant les Esprits de guérir Yarima, petit bébé malade. Namowë, son frère de 13 ans, attend de partir le lendemain pour sa première chasse avec les hommes de la communauté. Mais, au lieu de ça, pour sauver sa soeur il devra se lancer dans la quête d’une plante que le chaman ne possède pas.

Avec un clin d’œil en référence au voyage de Dorothy dans le Magicien d’Oz, le voyage…

Chocolate, orange and fantasy

Shanyu Bihani

My dark chocolate Panna cotta with Fleur de sel, a warm citrus caramel(syrup), orange segments, chocolate soil and mint.

Food is joy,food is sorrow, food is entertainment; but for me? Well I would say food is emotions on a plate. It’s funny how our emotions manage to seep in and make that guilty indulgence turn to a story of satisfaction and complacency. And maybe here’s when food plays the part of landing us in oblivion and much needed fantasy with every bite we take.

This food story might as well be the strongest of mine because it has been backed up by an impeccable sense of satisfaction and a food pairing that never fails to impress. Apart from how beautifully two ingredients can fit in, this instance has taught me that nothing turns out better than a dish backed up by a strong urge of achievement.

Like any other anecdote…
