“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. The rich silk of slumber evades me, And my mind grows weary of the hypnotic beating Of the hours in my…

Carlos Drummond de Andrade
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,
leitura de relâmpago cifrado,
que, decifrado nada mais existe
valendo a pena e o preço do terrestre,
salvo o minuto de ouro no relógio
minúsculo, vibrando no crepúsculo.
Amor é o que se aprende no limite,
depois de se arquivar toda a ciência
herdada, ouvida. Amor começa tarde.
Carlos Drummond de Andrade. Amor é seu Tempo

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 […]

समस्या तब नहीं होती,
जब दुनिया
हमें नहीं समझती,
बल्कि तब होती है,
जब नहीं समझ पाते
हम स्वयं को ही…

The problem is not
when the world
doesn’t understand us,
but when
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 […]
