Summa de Arithmetica

I don’t think books can change the world, but when the world begins to change, it searches for different books.

I don’t think books can change the world, but when the world begins to change, it searches for different books.

Shlomo Sand

There is always a story associated with a great book that is not written in the book. The book ‘Summa de Arithmetica’ was written by famous Italian mathematician Luca Pacioli. The book is a symbol of enlightenment, written in the time when science met art. The story revolving around the book is as interesting as the book itself.

The middle age of human history is often termed the ‘Dark Age’. It was the time when superstitions and evil tyrants captured the world. Religious institutions were directly involved in administrating and influencing society. There were numerous wars and illiteracy. ‘Summa de Arithmetica’ was written when the world was on a transitional phase from the ‘Dark Age’ to the modern world. The transitional period is often called the era of…

Prelibati senza uova, senza formaggi grattugiati nell’impasto.
Nulla da invidiare al tradizionale piatto, ma con questa variante si rischia di abbondare con la porzione!

yaskhan

A bird flew over the cuckoo's nest
Nursing a little one at her breast.

The bird saw clouds gamble with the morning sun
Then the rain coughed up some codeine fun.

A murmuration flew into the pouring rain
Hitch hiking into an aeroplane.

Flying west without any rest
Getting wet in their best dressed.

Cloudy, dowdy, summer storm
In the lightening, a mushroom form.

Cactus seed, cactus thorn
Out of the thorn, a rose is born.

In a garden full of thistledown
Flowers wearing their scented gown.

Yzaguirre, fire, electroshock
A tub-room with a padlock.

A psychedelic moment in the booby hatch
Birds perched into a bird'-watch.

Machismo

Pensamentos.me/VEM comigo!

O machismo é um ‘ pré- conceito ‘ que nasce de uma idéia antecipada em nossa sociedade em relação a mulher. Muitas pessoas compreendem o machismo como um preconceito. Eu prefiro trabalhar a idéia de ” pré – conceito “, ou seja, o que é promovido como algo que tem uma origem anterior à aquilo que faço um juízo valor. Você por exemplo, se aprendeu a agir com preconceito, certamente, é porque uma pessoa, de alguma forma, ensinou com antecedência algo com o sentido errado pra você. Após isso, você criou as suas próprias suposições a respeito do que vê com descaso, ou falta de valor. A verdade é que ninguém nasce definido qualidades ou fazendo diferença sobre o que quer que seja. Todos nós aprendemos a fazer distinções de cordo com o que aprendemos ao longo de nossa trajetória. Veja, uma criança não sabe distinguir maldade de bondade, ela…

Ableism: Discrimination Against Disabled People by The Wheelchair Teen

Happiness Between Tails by da-AL

The act of writing forces us to contemplate things more deeply, to question what we believe. Bloggers, novelists, all writers lay ourselves bare when we publish. When we communicate our passions, readers are challenged to think — and they challenge us!

Thank goodness for the world of blogging, a Utopian alternate universe where anyone with access to a smartphone or computer, along with the internet, can send their unfiltered voices all over the world.

Without blog-topia, I would never have stumbled across Simone’s The Wheelchair Teen blog. There she lets us into her often fun, sometimes heartbreaking life. With good humor and patience, she teaches everyone to live with joy and compassion…

A Voice from Iran

“194th story”

People are truly different with each other;

-Some lock themselves in a room when the sky of their life becomes cloudy….

Silence, time, and loneliness is their only cure.

-Some like to be in a crowd. They like to laugh loud so they won’t hear their pain and problems. Not that they are careless, not at all, but their cure is this way.

-Some people scream their love for others, shout their pains and sadness. They are scared, and screech for help.

-Some pours everything inside them. If you dig deep inside them you won’t hear a world out of their mouth, everything spins in their minds, even if he/she is exploding out of problems, wouldn’t speak. Their thoughts are full of anxiety and blues. They are not dry or have a lack of feeling, they are just different.

-Some if fails a thousand of time, would start…

Working Things Out

Lyrical smile

When you’re in a relationship with a person as a friend, as a partner or as a sibling, you build it on mutual understanding keeping all their flaws and insecurities in mind. Your every step with them must be monitored whether or not it will backfire against them. It’s not a move that you calculate nor something that you have to decide using statistics. It all happens from the heart. Even before your mind can reciprocate it, your heart enacts with enough wisdom to not hurt them and to not transform mutual into misunderstanding.

When a relationship is based on doubts, you must act with patience and sort it out with the person through conversation. Lack of interaction deepens the potholes of doubts, the more deeper it gets, the more difficult it becomes to cover it up. I know from my own experience, it is difficult to create atmosphere to…

Aripi

Vivaldi translation of introduction: Tarquinia, 2018

The concrete reason why I visited Tarquinia (Lazio region) are the Etruscan tombs inscribed in the UNESCO World Heritage Site and the National Archaeological Museum with its delicate exhibit, winged horses

ore de drum

Tarquinia, 2018

Motivul concret pentru care am vizitat Tarquinia (regiunea Lazio), sunt tombele etrusce înscrise în patrimoniul mondial UNESCO și  Muzeul arheologic național cu delicatul său exponat, căluții cu aripi.

Palate, biserici, muzeu – sunt toate ușor de găsit. O surpriză a fost vederea mării, aflată la doar cinci kilometri.

Cautând cu privirea spre depărtări, îi vei zări panglica albastră la capătul străzilor, dincolo de îmbelșugata câmpie din Maremma. Deși septembrie, ziua se făceau spre treizeci de grade.

Cele optsprezece turnuri semețe îmi servesc ca puncte de orientare, deși perimetrul centrului e mic, se poate parcurge într-o jumătate de oră de la un capăt la altul.
