Maquiavel
Vivaldi translation: “In general, men judge more with their eyes than by their hands, since everyone can see, but few know how to feel”
Machiavelli
” Em geral, os homens julgam mais com os olhos do que pelas mãos, uma vez que todos podem enxergar, mas poucos sabem sentir”

Another Travel Journey!
Saania's diary - reflections, learnings, sparkles
UAE had its national holidays for 4 days this December, so my family and I decided to travel to Armenia – a city of endless charms. Armenia has a rich culture and history, and the two places I visited: Yerevan (the capital city) and Tsaghkadzor (a town) completely have my heart!
In Yerevan, this time of the year is fall, so it was lovely seeing maple leaves everywhere. The last time I experienced fall was in Boston, so the comforting aura of the amber leaves falling off every tree made it extremely peaceful and enchanting.

My tour guide Rosiana was the sweetest soul, and I already miss her. She made us try the most divine Armenian food and showed us around the city’s main attractions.


Then we headed to Tsaghkadzor, a wintery wonderland. I think…

Pearl Harbor Day
This day in 1941 brought American into active participation in WWII. American had been the factory provisioning the UK and Commonwealth, and on that day transitioned from a logistics role to active combatant.
The losses that day don’t carry the same weight now as the losses of 0/11/2001, and even the latter is fading from memory. However, the cauldron that followed created what we call “The Greatest Generation” and legendary leaders in business, politics, technology and entertainment.
You’ve probably seen the picture of the Shaw blowing up, but may not have seen the others, below.

Moon Tides

My muse sails with many sailors
Much like when we sail our ship
Guiding one another through the blue and black skies of life
Navigating by the stars
Calculating latitudes with your golden astrolabe
Your trusty compass always at your side, a gift, Christmas 1855
Engraved: Time is but a twinkling of an eye in eternity.

The duality of us all is a wondrous thing
For I am the stars and you are the moon, my mariner muse
I feel him every night, the pull of the moon shining bright
Controlling the tides, high and low, day and night
You travel the seas, all over the world, a constant for them, for me
As I, a constant for you, your North Star shining the brightest of all
I pray — ignore any siren’s call
***
If I yearn for you I look up at the night sky
You are…

Quick! Plant milkweed!
For generations, millions of Monarch butterflies have overwintered at Pismo Beach. But over the last decade, numbers have been dwindling badly. Last year only 2000 returned. So it came as a wonderful holiday surprise when biologists have counted over 100,000 so far this year.

This represents a potential turning point. We may be able to bring them back from the brink of extinction. Here’s what you can do if you live in one of their traditional routes:
- Plant milkweed native to your area. If you’re lucky enough to get the plants covered by butterfly eggs, expect them to look ratty once the caterpillars chow down. So choose a spot in the garden where that won’t matter. Even a pot on an apartment balcony could help. Find varieties of milkweed that will grow in your area at the Xerces Society Plant Finder.
- Fill your garden with other things they…
