Thoughtful Thursdays, Stayed on Freedom’s Call page 45, and “Farther Along”

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

       How do neighbors in your town come together?

 

     I started my own walking singing tour company in the belief that song was a powerful way to help bring people together to learn from our history.  Some of what I learned is in my book Stayed on Freedom’s Call (last week was page 44…):

 

” … 1. The site of Bleak House: Geranium St, NW, between 15 th and 14 th Streets, NW

   It has been here since the year 1870, and now “Boss” Alexander Robey Shepherd’s mansion Bleak House, named for the Dickens novel which he and his wife read
together, is finally being torn down. Now that 1916 has arrived, so have developers who want to subdivide and build houses in this lovely area.   For the “Better Classes,” of course.   What will it be like in forty more years, we wonder?

Remarks By President Biden To Mark One Year Since The January 6th Deadly Assault On The U.S. Capitol | The White House (Me: Read what he said rather than spin by those writing about what he said)

Madam Vice President, my fellow Americans: To state the obvious, one year ago today, in this sacred place, democracy was attacked — simply attacked.  The will of the people was under assault.  The Constitution — our Constitution — faced the gravest of threats.

Além disso, há o dano emocional que esse tipo de violência tem ‘como marca maior’ do que ela provoca nas pessoas.

Quem já passou por esse tipo de violência, sabe que, mais do que, a confusão mental, ela provoca o desequilíbrio emocional. As pessoas que passa por pressão psicológica, agressão verbal, sabem como a marca dessa violência é quase irreversível. A violência psicológica é uma coisa horrenda, porque desestabiliza qualquer pessoa. Isso inclui homens e mulheres.

Uma mulher que se torna vítima de violência psicológica por exemplo, ela leva anos para conseguir voltar acreditar na pessoa que ela foi um dia. Mulheres que vivem relacionamentos conturbados, doentios e com a…
