In Freude und Güte / … In happiness and kindness – Stella, oh, Stella

Bild / picture: Lyra O’Brian

Ich unterbreche kurz meine Pause, weil ich dieses positive, Herz erhebende Gedicht mit euch teilen wollte, dass ich bei Blogger Seth Kelly Curtis (Kelly’s Quest) gefunden habe. Das Bild von Lyra O’Brian fand ich sehr passend dazu. Diejenigen, die mich kennen, wissen, dass ich NICHT früh aufstehe, aber auch um 9 Uhr morgens kann man den Tag in Freude und Güte beginnen, nicht wahr?

… I am interrupting my break because I wanted to share this positive, heart lifting poem with you that I found at blogger Seth Kelly Curtis (Kelly’s Quest). I thought that Lyra O’Brian’s painting fit very well with the text. Those, who know me well, know that I do NOT get up early, but even at 9 a.m. one can start the day in happiness and kindness, right?

„Warum ich früh aufwache

Hallo, Sonne in meinem Gesicht.
Hallo, du, der den Morgen geschaffen
und ihn über die Felder verbreitet
und in die Gesichter der Tulpen
und der nickenden Prunkwinden,
und in die Fenster sogar der
Elenden und der Mürrischen –
der beste Prediger, den es je gab,
lieber Stern, der zufällig
da ist, wo du im Universum bist,
um uns vor der ewigen Dunkelheit zu bewahren,
um uns mit warmen Berührungen zu beruhigen,
um uns in den großen Händen des Lichts zu halten
guten Morgen, guten Morgen, guten Morgen.
Sieh jetzt, wie ich den Tag
voller Freude und Güte beginne.“
― Mary Oliver

**************************************************

… “Why I Wake Early

Hello, sun in my face.
Hello, you who made the morning
and spread it over the fields
and into the faces of the tulips
and the nodding morning glories,
and into the windows of, even, the
miserable and the crotchety –
best preacher that ever was,
dear star, that just happens
to be where you are in the universe
to keep us from ever-darkness,
to ease us with warm touching,
to hold us in the great hands of light –
good morning, good morning, good morning.
Watch, now, how I start the day in happiness, in kindness.”
― Mary Oliver

Lasst uns das neue Jahr mit Freude und Güte beginnen!

… Let us start the new year with happiness and kindness!

NASA Satellite Reveals How Much Saharan Dust Feeds Amazon’s Plants – NASA

What connects Earth’s largest, hottest desert to its largest tropical rain forest?

The Sahara Desert is a near-uninterrupted brown band of sand and scrub across the northern third of Africa. The Amazon rain forest is a dense green mass of humid jungle that covers northeast South America. But after strong winds sweep across the Sahara, a tan cloud rises in the air, stretches between the continents, and ties together the desert and the jungle. It’s dust. And lots of it.

For the first time, a NASA satellite has quantified in three dimensions how much dust makes this trans-Atlantic journey. Scientists have not only measured the volume of dust, they have also calculated how much phosphorus – remnant in Saharan sands from part of the desert’s past as a lake bed – gets carried across the ocean from one of the planet’s most desolate places to one of its most fertile.

A new paper published Feb. 24 in Geophysical Research Letters, a journal of the American Geophysical Union, provides the first satellite-based estimate of this phosphorus transport over multiple years, said lead author Hongbin Yu, an atmospheric scientist at the University of Maryland who works at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland. A paper published online by Yu and colleagues Jan. 8 in Remote Sensing of the Environment provided the first multi-year satellite estimate of overall dust transport from the Sahara to the Amazon.

Morre Jimmy Carter, Ex-Presidente dos EUA, aos 100 Anos : Linkezine

Neste domingo (29), o ex-presidente dos Estados Unidos, Jimmy Carter, faleceu aos 100 anos em Plains, na Geórgia, ao lado de sua família. A informação foi confirmada pelo Carter Center, organização fundada por Carter e sua esposa, Rosalynn. Ele era o ex-presidente mais longevo na história do país.

Uma Vida Dedicada à Paz e aos Direitos Humanos

Jimmy Carter ocupou a Presidência dos Estados Unidos entre 1977 e 1981, após uma trajetória que começou como fazendeiro de amendoim e oficial da Marinha. Antes de assumir a Casa Branca, serviu como governador da Geórgia. Durante seu mandato presidencial, destacou-se pela mediação dos Acordos de Camp David em 1978, que resultaram em um tratado de paz histórico entre Egito e Israel.

Após deixar o cargo, Carter consolidou seu legado como defensor dos direitos humanos e da democracia mundial, fundando o Carter Center. A organização desempenhou um papel crucial na promoção da saúde global, redução de doenças em países em desenvolvimento e monitoramento de eleições ao redor do mundo.

Seu trabalho incansável em favor da paz foi reconhecido em 2002, quando Carter recebeu o Prêmio Nobel da Paz por seus esforços humanitários.
