Poem of the day: Harlem
HARLEM
By Langston Hughes
What happens to a dream deferred?
Does it dry up
like a raisin in the sun?
Or fester like a sore—
And then run?
Does it stink like rotten meat?
Or crust and sugar over—
like a syrupy sweet?
Maybe it just sags
like a heavy load.
Or does it explode?
Let’s go!


What if we only have two minutes left?
What if the stars fall from the sky?
What if our friends are no longer here?
What if the sea drowns all the fishes?
What if there is no future anymore?
What if Earth swallows us up?
What if our family leaves us behind?
What if the sun doesn’t rise?
We must not waste time
Let’s go!

If you look the right way, you can see that the whole world is a garden.

Ann and Anna, (serial short story, Part 4): Home

We were on our way again, north.
We had agreed that it seemed safer to travel by night, despite my fear of getting lost.
Anna had shown me how to find the Pole star, explaining that we had come up 16th Street and out the Rockville Pike from the President’s House. Now that we were off of the main roads, keeping a close watch on our direction and on how far we traveled each hour were very important. We had left Rockville heading North, and should cross into Pennsylvania after several days at this pace. Anna set a walking pace just quick enough not to tire old Mary, but slow enough to talk quietly along the way. Pine needles underfoot muffled the sound of our travel…

What Happens when children become aware of the need for Environmental Care
When children are aware of the need for environmental care
They will want to learn about the solutions for the problems we have here
and make great contributions so problems will disappear
And now there are eco-kids eBooks that adults can borrow and share

Building environmental protection awareness in a new and better way is more important now
As the climate emergency won’t go away if we don’t change what we are doing somehow
Teaching children about environmental care could cause the adults to make changes too
If we want to continue living on earth, we need to change what we do
Children can start reusing plastic in many ways
And start planning to see brighter days
They can start putting plastic in the recycling bin
And talk about reusing glass, cardboard and tins
If we want to stop eating food that…

We
We, as human beings, are being offered the opportunity to commit to growing, becoming aware, and progressing. Let’s not waste it.

Vivaldi translation: “The history of women in our country is a history of courage”. Before, they didn’t let us have a voice. We can say that we suffer all kinds of quiet injustice. But today, women have been echoing their voice in every corner of the planet.
Marii Freire Pereira
” A história da mulher em nosso país, é uma história de coragem “. Antes, não nos deixaram ter voz. Podemos dizer que sofremos todo tipo de injustiça calada. Mas hoje, a mulher tem ecoando a sua voz em todos os cantos do planeta.

Memória
Contemplemos a memória do homem que somos. Apesar de imperfeitos, agregamos recordações que nos fazem experimentar um olhar presente sobre aquilo que somos, temos e guardamos entre parênteses “. A memória é um recurso eficaz, útil e perfeito como o tempo.
