Mujer

Mujer

En el día de la Tierra

Nací mujer en la paz más hermosa

hermosa como ninguna

tan fértil como la espiga;

me llamaron tierra,

me traslado alrededor de mi sol

de día soy el pan de mis hijos,

de noche el amor me fertiliza una vez mas

¿no te gusta mi vestido?

era un hermoso azul;

pero ya está raído

ayer me diste un jirón,

¿no te diste cuenta?

no importa,

nací… Continue

The big rocks of life

The Big Rocks of Life

One day, an expert in time management was speaking to a group of business students and, to drive home a point, used an illustration those students will never forget. As he stood in front of the group of high-powered overachievers he said, "Okay, time for a quiz?", and he pulled out a one-gallon, wide-mouth Mason jar and set it on the table in front of him.

He also produced about a dozen fist-sized rocks and carefully placed them, one at a time,… Continue

We'd wrestle and play… Continue

Against Weapons & Nuclear Armament and For Peace and Disarmament.

I am against Weapons & Nuclear Armaments. I may sound Vehement in my expressions here. I just call them "Monkeys", with violent instincts and you just can't expect them to find a way out for a peaceful existance. Can't blame them also if we go deep into their history. They have only kill, grab and rule in their history and killers are their heros and guns are their toys and what else can we expect from them? So friends let us think first, feel for the events that is happening, feel for the… Continue

The Devil Came Knocking

i have come to appreciate utube. a year ago i really didn't know a thing about it. i have been able to see political speeches, historical ones, via utube. i've been able to see, over and over, the angel that is susan boyle sing her amazing rendition of "i dreamed a dream" via utube. my daughter has learned more about styling the hair of her american girl dolls via utube than i would ever have dreamt existed.

that said, utube is also the training grounds for violence, the place where… Continue

In the bones

I joked apologetically about the paper work at the kitchen table of the transitional shelter. C sat across the table I had heard about her from another client and the outreach worker said she thinks that she is a black man. It was considered a delusion and I thought well that doesn’t seem that crazy to me. If you can be transgendered why not trans racial?

I don’t miss all the paper work of working for an agency, but I do miss the people and the advocacy. I miss the inside of "the not… Continue

Below the Bottom Line

I want to see the evidence.

I am grown totally frustrated and impatient with the cult of Obama, with the cult of the President in all. Please don't speak to me of "it's only three months, give him time". The administration has had ample time to show their course and it is clear that the course has not changed from the velocity by which we have proceeded for fifty years or more: a course of attempted conquest, imperialism, genocide, destructive… Continue

WHEN YOU HEART IS IN IT....

I am in Spain for a few days, BUT

when you heart is in something, as mine is, I don't just have a vacation here, but also think about the 15, 000 Stories group that I created months ago - just like having a family and being concerned that everyone is happy and ok when one is away.

So...............here is a picture I took at a festivity yesterday - the men give a rose to their loved one, the women give a book to the men. And being a story group here, now that I… Continue

Free Rice

http://www.freerice.com/index.php

This is a link to a wonderful page. It quizzes you on your vocabulary, and gets progressively harder as you go through it. For every correct answer you make, world governments will donate rice and other necessities to countries in need.

By the end of a session, you will have learned quite a bit. Your vocabulary will have expanded, and you will have fed someone who really needs help. Its a Win Win.

Acceptance and Tollerance

Most people are in fact tollerant of things that do not matter. They accept decisions made by the powers that be even if it requires a compromise of their personal code of ethics. Their excuses range from 'its the law', 'its compulsory' 'it is part of the contract' 'there is no alternative' etc etc yada yada yada. They have a profound ability to afford acceptance and exercise tollerence to these issues in life, even if they grumble and moan about it.

However enter a second person and… Continue

The Secret to the world

At first, I'd like to say, that most of this has been said at movie or a book The Secret (I heartily advice you to se this film and read this book)

We notice there are so many people, who are living live in a very conditional way. They look out and they see things, that are wonderful and they say: "Yes, we want more of those, we would vote for that, we would support that with our time and energy and money". But then they look out and they see things they do not want. Terrible… Continue
