Softly…by Mágica Mistura – Mágica Mistura

Golden light…

Late afternoon

Winter wind

Falling leaves

A light and fluffy cloud passes

I glimpse a sliver of sky

…a pure shade of blue

The loose white sand,

A bird here, there…

Softly melodic

Subtly nostalgic

A hammock swings lazily

And the sun, dipped in color

Make the evening just come

An unforgettable scene

Inspiration comes along,

And lands with the birds…

Ah, that noise from the lagoon

Of the water that comes and goes

Brings sadness, brings harmony

That bathes and spreads

By the beach, by the sand

By my spirit, my heart

The desire is to fly away

And find along the way

The muse of my sky

The most beautiful full moon

Biden signs order to shield Palestinians in US from deportation | Joe Biden | The Guardian

President Joe Biden has signed an order  shielding several thousand Palestinians in the United States who need protection from deportation for the next 18 months, the White House said on Wednesday, citing deteriorating humanitarian conditions in Gaza.

The move grants “deferred enforced departure” to an estimated 6,000 Palestinians, a Biden administration official said.

In a statement, White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan said that following “the horrific October 7 terrorist attack by Hamas against Israel, and Israel’s ensuing military response, humanitarian conditions in Gaza have significantly deteriorated”.

Sullivan said the US president’s decision would give Palestinians in the US “a temporary safe haven”. Anyone who voluntarily returns to the Palestinian territories would lose their protections, he added.

Myanmar youths go into hiding to avoid getting forced into battle — Radio Free Asia

With Myanmar’s junta plowing ahead toward a full-scale draft, young men say they are staying indoors to avoid getting dragooned into the army to fight in a war in which the military is losing ground and men.

 

Most youths have no desire to fight – for the junta or the armed resistance, said a 22-year-old Mandalay resident who asked not to be identified.

 

“We have no choice as the junta is cornering us to join the army,” he said. “Now we don’t dare to go out – day or night. There are a lot of abductions [for forced recruitment], so I’m worried. My friends say they will join the [resistance] but I don’t know what to do, since I can’t fight.”

Memória – Pensamentos.me/VEM comigo!

Somos revestidos pela memória da infância. Nela há fantasias engarçadas e aquelas que a lógica das nossas escolhas não desfaz. A vida é a somatoria do que a gente decide sarar das nossas fraturas emocionais. Eis, o encantamento: a inteirice do que é precioso. A vida não rebobina os dias perdidos, mas nos distrai trazendo alegria aos novos.

“A Lei Maria da Penha é um marco na luta contra a violência doméstica e familiar. Todavia, para que a mulher saiba exigir seus direitos, ela precisa conhecer a lei para se posicionar todas as vezes que precisar ir a uma delegacia ou seja, agir diante do propósito dessa lei.

Quando o amor acontece – O Outro Lado

Quando o amor atravessou o quintal, ele era quase alado
Dava pulos no peito e voava para além das árvores.
Depois, com o tempo – e só o tempo compreende essas nuances – ele foi esparramando raízes, com suas gavinhas, como se fosse abraço e hoje, já mora aqui… De vez. Acho que para sempre.
Em alguns dias, como o de hoje, ele muda o nome para paixão, só para mudar a rotina dos batimentos dentro do peito.
