Poland declares that household cats are now an invasive species | Here & Now (Me: Headline is misleading – they are referring to cats allowed to roam outside – not indoor cats.)

“I think a lot of it really needs to be kind of a cultural change,” she says, “where people understand the impact of their cat, and that keeping it indoors is something that every cat owner can do as part of their effort to make the environment safer and better for everybody.” Source: Poland declares that household cats are now an invasive species | Here & Now

LONELINESS

Nguyễn Thị Phương Trâm

A poem in Vietnamese by Đinh Trường Chinh

Translator: Nguyễn Thị Phương Trâm


LONELINESS

.

loneliness is brutal

dusk failed to interpret the rain

I’m awake amongst the earthy smell

my fifth coffee

on the shiny wood surface

.

loneliness is without repose

no bough no shade

I lay down to sleep

allow myself to drift through the streets

I’m cloaked in black

the poem in my head is an umbrella

shielding me from the broken pieces of a storm

the falling raindrops from my eyes .

.

in the end

loneliness will be its own entombment

Chet baker will whisk it along .

.

leaving the brown wooden table behind

crossing the road

I will buy the lottery ticket

I will win an island  

a solace amidst the ocean

there I will plant a copse of loneliness

there I will live

to never…

Faszinierende Fjordlandschaften in Norwegen

Senioren um die Welt

Die norwegische Fjordregion gehört mit seinen zerklüfteten Küstenabschnitten, den tief ins Land einschneidenden Fjorden und den zahlreichen Wasserfällen zu den spektakulärsten Landschaften nicht nur Norwegens, sondern der ganzen Welt. Die Region wurde von den Gletschern der Eiszeiten massiv geprägt, es ist ein Labyrinth aus Inseln und Wasser, eine einzigartige Landschaft, die es in dieser Art sonst nirgendwo gibt,

Mãe de menina

Pensamentos.me/VEM comigo!

Ser mãe de meninas é muito prazeroso. Muitas vezes, antes mesmo de se chegar a idade adulta, você já ensaia viver esse momento de “sonho cor- de-rosa”, de lacinhos, roupas, sapatinhos de boneca, tranças, batom, vestidos, quarto decorado e tudo mais. É um desejo muito especial ( idealizado) inclusive. Óbvio que, tudo isso é reflexo de todo um preparo em que, a criança acaba sendo condicionada; a mulher principalmente, porque é moldada a maternidade.

Por isso, muitas diante da maternidade, têm esse encanto, diria que, até de forma “exacerbada”. Outras perdem o interesse, o que é perfeitamente compreensível. Essa questão cabe ser vista com muito respeito, e não preconceito. Mas, voltando ao que dizia sobre ser mãe de menina, é um encanto prazeroso. Você poder olhar no olhinho dela e enxergar um pouquinho de você, éuma sensação indescritível. Claro, não falo do aspecto físico, mas do seu temperamento, da ousadia…

Chile’s Mapuche Indigenous community’s ongoing fight against hydro-electric plants for sacred rivers – ABC News

“Human beings feel superior to the space where they go, but for us Mapuche, I belong to the earth, the earth doesn’t belong to me.”

In the worldview of the Mapuche, Chile’s largest Indigenous group and more than 10 per cent of its population, a pristine river is home to a spiritual force to revere, not a natural resource to exploit.

That has led many Mapuche across Chile’s water-rich south to fight hydro-electric plants and other projects they see as desecrating nature and depriving Indigenous communities of essential energies that keep them from getting sick.
