“Just Me and the Clock” by Dawn Pisturino

MasticadoresUsa // Editor: Barbara Leonhard //

Long hours of night creep slowly by.
Tick. . . Tick. . . Tick. . . Tick. . .
The clock clangs one.
I am utterly alone.
Just me and the clock.
Tock. . . Tock. . . Tock. . . Tock. . .
My cares all ceased with the setting sun,
But that clock keeps screaming in my ears.
All I crave is peace
And silence: No ticking time bomb exploding in my head. I don’t care about the passing hours. Darkness brings a halt to all activity, Calms my rattled nerves, soothes my racing heart, Eases the tension of body and soul. My brain longs to sleep, Escape the daylight nightmare, Roam through the corridors and landscapes of dreams Fashioned from the fabric of my own imagination.

Carlos Drummond de Andrade

Pensamentos.me/VEM comigo!

Amor é privilégio de maduros

estendidos na mais estreita cama,

que se torna a mais larga e mais relvosa,

roçando, em cada poro, o céu do corpo.

É isto, amor: o ganho não previsto

o prêmio subterrâneo e coruscante,

depois de se arquivar toda a ciência

herdada, ouvida. Amor começa tarde.

Carlos Drummond de Andrade. Amor é seu Tempo

Comforting Thought: Kindness is a muscle we exercise — Content Catnip

Kindness is not a fixed trait that we either have or lack, but more like a muscle that can be developed and strengthened. We exercise kindness in any moment where we recognise our shared humanity- with all of the hopes, dreams, joys, dissapointments, vulnerability and suffering that this implies. Such simple but profound awareness levels […]

we can’t understand
ourselves…

The Future Of Teaching U.S. History??? — Filosofa’s Word

Alexandra Petri is a satirical columnist for The Washington Post.  This week, she opines on the re-writing of history to suit the racists in Florida, led by none other than Governor DeSantis, and it is both appalling and yet at the same time humorous.  Remember, this is tongue-in-cheek, satire … until it becomes reality. Excerpts […]
