January 8th – Memories and Leftovers
Yesterday, I was spending time checking out random posts on WordPress. I do this on a regular basis and generally enjoy my time spent doing it.
Yesterday, I was particularly touched by one of the posts that I came across. https://blursy.co.uk/2022/01/07/are-you-spiritual. (You have to scroll down a bit to get to the post itself.) It is amazing how often I am touched by a post written by someone who is, in so many ways, living a life totally different than mine. This post was written by a young Polish woman working and living in England with her nine year old son. I am a not so young French/Canadian woman, retired, children grown, grandchildren growing up way too fast, living with my husband and my dog. Yet, we are both on a journey of spiritual and emotional healing and for a few minutes yesterday we crossed paths. How cool…

Desaparecimento de árvores e de plantas preocupa indígenas no Xingu — Ecoamazônia — Barbara Crane Navarro

O desaparecimento de plantas medicinais e de árvores usadas pelo povo Kuikuro na construção de casas chamou a atenção de pesquisadores do IPAM (Instituto de Pesquisa Ambiental da Amazônia) e da UFRA (Universidade Federal Rural da Amazônia) que estiveram no Território Indígena do Xingu (TIX) entre 13 e 17 de dezembro, em Mato Grosso. Indígenas… Desaparecimento […]

Cockpit Country, Jamaica: “This is an environmental and social justice issue”
There is much more to be said about the recent announcement on bauxite mining in the Cockpit Country, which I wrote about in a post earlier this week. Now environmental activist and Founder of the Jamaica Environment Trust (JET) Diana McCaulay (@dmccaulay) has shared her thoughts in a fairly long Twitter thread, which I am reproducing below.
There are some facts that we must always keep in mind; and there are questions that we should also keep in the forefront of our thoughts, and keep asking until (who knows?) we may get an answer. At this point, there are still many information gaps.

So here is Ms. McCaulay’s thread:
The Jamaican Government is a 51% shareholder of Noranda, the applicant for a mining lease and environmental permit for bauxite mining in the contested area of Cockpit Country is the Jamaican…

Ah! Ser indiferente!
É do alto do poder da sua indiferença
Que os chefes dos chefes dominam o mundo.
Ser alheio até a si mesmo!
É do alto do sentir desse alheamento
Que os mestres dos santos dominam o mundo
Ser esquecido de que se existe!
É do alto do pensar desse esquecer
Que os deuses dos deuses dominam o mundo.
( Não ouvi o que dizias…
ouvi só a música, e nem a essa ouvi…
Tocavas e falavas ao mesmo tempo?
Sim, creio que tocava e falavas ao mesmo tempo…
Com quem?
Com alguém em que tudo acabava no dormir do mundo…
Álvaro de Campos. Ah! Ser indiferente

Bits of This, That, and The Other
Today, I promise no posts about January 6 or the former guy.
Yesterday I let out a “WHOOP” when the wheels of justice, after turning very slowly, finally picked up momentum and rendered three sentences that were fair and well-deserved. The three killers of Ahmaud Arbery were all sentenced to life in prison, with no possibility of parole for father and son Greg and Travis McMichael. Good riddance to bad rubbish. The other, William “Roddie” Bryan, will be eligible for parole after 30 years because he did cooperate with police and according to his lawyer, showed remorse for his actions on that fateful day.
Some will say this is justice, and it is right and just for the killers, and it is justice in one sense for Arbery’s family but make no mistake … this is still not justice for Ahmaud Arbery. Mr. Arbery is still dead, so there can…
