Be Mindful

We constantly sow seeds through our actions, our thoughts and our words. Let’s practice mindfulness at all times, because we reap the fruits of the seeds we sow.

Nothing Goes In Vain

Shayan's Sphere

In this fleeting life with endless quests
For fame and powers and gains,
Oh, I trust, I trust with buoyant breast
That nothing does go in vain.

Oh, the esteemed pen that lose its words
And efforts that end with pain,
Or the plaintive prayers that stay unheard
Oh, nothing does go in vain.

For the tranquil whiles and pleasant hours
That today remain unsung,
Shall tomorrow turn in silken flowers
And make me bold and young.

And the constant falls and dismal songs
That cease the blooming light,
Shall shatter and beat all future wrongs
And take my name in height.

And every hope and every try
That ends today in tears,
Shall tomorrow break the chains and fly
And change the odious Sphere.

And no dream stays a dream, I trust
If heart has power to reign,
And no wish sleeps and merges with dust
For nothing does…

Glaciers That Don’t Melt – Perito Moreno – Seniors Around The World

Despite climate change and global warming, they still exist, the glaciers that are not melting but, on the contrary, are still growing. One of these few glaciers is the Perito Moreno Glacier, which is one of the mightiest glaciers in Campo de Hielo Sur, the largest glacier area in the South American Andes. It is located in Patagonia in the south of the American continent and is one of the most spectacular natural sights. Beyond the poles, it forms the largest inland glacier and for that reason alone is a superlative event.

Born to Bloom – Bio-Blogger

They buried us in unmarked graves,
We turned the graves into gardens.
We are not dead slaves
but sacred seeds buried to bloom.

We were thrown into the fire
but we came out with sparkles.
We are not a complete wreckage
but nascent gems with crinkles.

We were pressed and crushed,
we bled and became exotic wine.
Painful processes we endure
knowing that we were born to bloom.

Sentiment italian

San Giovanni Rotondo, 2019 An architect feels at home everywhere, says Renzo Piano, and I feel at home in his works.

ore de drum

San Giovanni Rotondo, 2019

Un architect se simte acasă pretutindeni, spune Renzo Piano, iar eu mă simt acasă în lucrările sale.

Cale de o zi din Genova unde s-a născut, a învățat, a predat și a construit, am ajuns la una dintre ele.

Basilica San Pio a fost inaugurată în 2004 și are capacitatea de a primi treizeci de mii de pelerini. Măslini, chiparoși și toți arbuștii specifici regiunii puglieze o înconjoară de pe marginea esplanadei.

Apropiindu-mă, observ construcția cu acoperișul său de aramă de un verde luminos sprijinit pe arcade și îmi imaginez cum acele semicercuri formează un întreg în lumea nevăzută.

Mă pierd în vastitatea interiorului cu structură circulară, ritmată de același model de arcuri de sprijin care înlesnesc dinamismul peregrinării și favorizează contemplația. Șantierul a durat treisprezece ani, răstimp în care Renzo Piano a câștigat Pritzker Prize pentru alte proiecte, dintre care cel mai familiar îmi este…

Good People Doing Good Things — Donnel Baird

Hope this inspires others to follow his lead and start new and related efforts!!!

Filosofa's Word

Today’s good people is a bit different than the ones I usually write about on Wednesday mornings.  He didn’t pull a child from in front of an oncoming train, nor renovate an elderly person’s home for free, but what he has done will have a lasting positive impact on the lives of potentially thousands of people and … at the same time, he is helping the environment.  I am posting today’s ‘Good People’ directly from The Washington Post, for I could not possibly have done any better job in writing about this good person, Donnel Baird.


Donnel Baird kept his coat on while he toured the aging sanctuary. His breath froze on his face mask as he took in the peeling plaster, the dusty basement, the failing boiler that never seemed able to make Bright Light Baptist Church warm.

But when he peered into the kitchen, the shiver he…

Derek Chauvin Motions For New Trial

We Hold These Truths To Be Self-Evident

Minneapolis ex-cop Derek Chauvin was convicted of 2nd degree murder, 3rd degree murder, and 2nd degree manslaughter for killing George Floyd.  On April 30, 2021, state prosecutors and Chauvin’s defense attorney argued in separate filings whether certain conditions should be considered in Chauvin’s sentencing.  The prosecution’s filing argues 5 aggravated factors for consideration.  Chauvin is scheduled to be sentenced on June 16 or 25, 2021, depending on what source you read.   Chavin’s opposition for aggravating sentencing factors is linked here.

On May 4, 2021, Chauvin’s defense attorney filed a motion for a new trial.  The motion is linked here.

I noticed on Twitter that some of Chauvin’s supporters represent the motion is for a mistrial or dismissal, and their presentation is focused on a juror attending a protest.   Chauvin’s motion is for a new trial — a do-over.  According to the Minnesota Rules for Criminal Procedure, Post…
