Em pauta

Pensamentos.me/VEM comigo!

Em pauta hoje, só a felicidade. Não a protele para o dia seguinte, ou quando tudo der certo, quando ‘os bons ventos ‘ forem favoráveis a você. Não. A gente tem mania de deixar tudo pra depois. E quase sempre esse ” depois ” não chega, ou se chega, às vezes não se comemora ou sente com o mesmo sentimento de antes. Não coloque a sua atenção voltada ao futuro. Não faz sentido. Tudo nesse tempo é incerto. O lado positivo de tudo aquilo que se sente, só é possível viver no agora, digo “no hoje”. Esse é o momento presente que se torna permissivo as nossas conquistas, assimcomo fracassos. É através dele que a gente suspira centenas de vezes, para não desistir, não é? Sim. Você quer saber se amanhã estará vivo (a) para desfrutar das sensações prazerosas, da companhia das pessoas que te acrescentam, de encontrar beleza aos…

Parashat Mishpatim, “Na’aseh VeNishmah” as Do First and Buy-In Later, via Education?

Context, Thought, and Learning: ShiraDest Offers Project Do Better

     This week’s Torah portion is Parashat Mishpatim (פרשת מִשְׁפָּטִים),  the 6th in the book of Shemot/Exodus, and the 18th weekly Torah portion in the annual cycle.

      This week, traditional congregations (and maybe a few Masorti/Conservative Movement folks) will read of the inter-generational (in theory, or at least in Midrashic legend) acceptance of the Torah by all then-present and future members of the People Who Argue with G-d, both birth members and converts.   Mishpatim literally means judgements -and there are many spelled out in this week’s Torah portion.

      On the most fun holiday of the Jewish year, The Geek’s holiday, Shavuot/Pentacost, on  Tikkun Leil Shavuot (the night of Shavuot when we get to stay up all night long studying!!), I taught a class at the DC Beit Midrash.  The class was about a different parashah, but I referenced an important concept first found in this…

Alphabet soup for the soul vol.2–“Q”

Words from Walden

Q is for Quest

“To begin is the most important part of any quest and by far the most courageous” -Plato-

What is your Ultimate Quest in life?

What do you want to do?

Is there someone or something that you would like to become? Somewhere you want to see or live?

You can do that thing.

The way to do it is to take belief, faith and desire and mix them together. That the secret formula that will allow you to chase your dream.

Whether it is love, money, legacy, fame, family or a multitude of things. When we question what we want from life, the answer will become clear in the form of a Quest.

We may not be able to see the full quest but instead we may only see one or two steps ahead.

That is okay. The next steps will reveal themselves along the way…

Você compra ouro? Você está se enfeitando com ouro? … « A floresta está sangrando, eu posso sentir no meu coração. »

«Os garimpeiros derramam mais mercúrio envenenado na terra do que o peso de ouro que levam embora. Eles são como mortos-vivos, cobertos de lama dourada.»

- cacique Raoni Metuktire

Foto: Destruição de garimpo na floresta amazônica

A mineração de ouro e o uso indiscriminado de mercúrio para encontrar ouro transforma partes dos ecossistemas de maior biodiversidade do mundo em uma paisagem lunar de pesadelo!

«Garimpeiros destroem a floresta» – desenho no papel: Wacayowë Yanomami

Até 75% do ouro extraído a cada ano é usado para joias, relógios e outros símbolos de status vãos e fúteis vendidos pela Cartier e outras empresas na indústria de luxo, bem como varejistas de desconto em todo o mundo.
Dezenas de milhares de árvores da floresta tropical têm que ser arrancadas, centenas de toneladas de solo extraídas e misturadas com dezenas de toneladas de poluentes ambientais tóxicos que contaminam…

Today’s reading starts looking at one of the basic tools of understanding the world around us:

“The Periodic table characterizes the known elements in increasing order of atomic number. It starts on the top right hand corner with Hydrogen and continue from left to right which then repeats in the horizontal row below the last element. This is not just a list of elements it is organized in very different ways like properties and atomic mass. At first glance the periodic table may seem disorganized with only a couple elements on the top row and a block on the last row but it is very specific in the way that they…
