Quote of the Day

Image
I believe in cultivating opposite, but complementary views of life, and I believe in meeting life's challenges with contradictory strategies. I believe in reckoning with the ultimate meaninglessness of our existence, even as we fall in love with the miracle of being alive. I believe in working passionately to make our lives count while never losing sight of our insignificance. I believe in caring deeply and being beyond caring. It is by encompassing these opposites, by being involved and vulnerable, but simultaneously transcendent and detached, that our lives are graced by resilience and joy. - Fritz Williams

Will we stop mass extinction?

Image
Will we stop mass extinction? I've just signed an urgent global petition supporting a new treaty to prevent mass extinction. The petition will be delivered Friday at UN talks in Japan -- check out the email below and sign on here: http://www.avaaz.org/en/the_end_of_whales/98.php?CLICKTF ----- Dear friends, There are only 300 northern right whales left, and 99% of blue whales have been wiped out. These majestic giants are endangered species, and their case is being played out across the world, time and again. In fact, one third of all life forms on the planet are on the brink of extinction. The natural world is being crushed by human activity, waste and exploitation. But there is a plan to save it -- a global agreement to create, fund and enforce protected areas covering 20% of our lands and seas by 2020. And right now, 193 governments are meeting in Japan to address this crisis. We have just 4 days left in this crucial meeting. Experts say that politicians are hesitant to adopt s

Quote of the Day

A man who becomes conscious of the responsibility he bears toward a human being who affectionately waits for him, or to an unfinished work, will never be able to throw away his life. He knows the "why" for his existence, and will be able to bear almost any "how."- - Viktor Frankl

CONVIDANDO UMA MULHER PARA JANTAR

Image
Recebi esse texto e estou repassando. Não sei que é a autora, infelizmente.. Dei boas risadas! CONVIDANDO UMA MULHER PARA JANTAR: Quando um homem chama uma mulher para sair, não sabe o grau de estresse que isso desencadeia em nossas vidas. O que venho contar aqui hoje é mais dedicado aos homens do que às mulheres. Acho importante que eles saibam o que se passa nos bastidores. Você, mulher, está flertando um Zé Ruela qualquer. Com sorte, ele acaba te chamando para sair. Vamos supor, um jantar. Ele diz, como se fosse a coisa mais simples do mundo 'Vamos jantar amanhã?'.Você sorri e responde, como se fosse a coisa mais simples do mundo: 'Claro, vamos sim'.Começou o inferno na Terra. Foi dada a largada. Você começa a se reprogramar mentalmente e pensar em tudo que tem que fazer para estar apresentável até lá. Cancela todos os seus compromissos canceláveis e começa a odisséia. Evidentemente, você também para de comer, afinal, quer estar em forma no dia do jant

Love the moment. Flowers grow out of dark moments. Therefore, each moment is vital. It affects the whole. Life is a succession of such moments and to live each, is to succeed. - - Corita Kent

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover. - - Mark Twain

Keep love in your heart. A life without it is like a sunless garden when the flowers are dead. The consciousness of loving and being loved brings a warmth and richness to life that nothing else can bring. - - Oscar Wilde

Reveillon em New York

Image
Um amigo querido que está vindo passar o Reveillon em New York, me pediu umas dicas de onde ir comemorar a virada. Resolvi então compartilhar estas dicas aqui no blog. Aqui vão: Todos os anos, desde 1906, existe uma festa de Reveillon na Time Square. É uma festa super famosa, como a nossa de Copacabana. Milhões de pessoas se juntam para ver os fogos, e o que eles chamam de Ball Drop. Essa festa é de graça, mas só vá se você não se importa com multidões. Eu, pessoalmente, não sou muito fã de tumulto, por isso nunca fui. Mesmo assim resolvi indicar aqui pois é uma festa famosa, que obviamente faz sucesso. Agora vamos falar de uma dica mais a minha praia: Uma festa exclusiva, um lindo jantar, em um lugar mega romântico. O restaurante chama-se RIVER CAFE ( http://www.rivercafe.com/ ) Eles tem uma festa de Reveillon que só falta baixar o espirito do Frank Sintra e cantar New York, New York. Uma experiencia inesquecível. (Tem que reservar com antecedencia) Para quem gosta de festão aqui

Your Love is like an island In life's ocean, vast and wide, A peaceful quiet shelter From the wind and rain and tide. Above it like a beacon light Shone faith and truth and prayer; And through the changing scenes of life, I find a haven there. - Author Unknown

Análise Astrológica Semanal De 15 a 23 de Outubro de 2010 Tendências sobre toda humanidade Lua Cheia: A Lua Cheia inicia seu ciclo no final de Áries e começo de Touro. E esta peculiaridade de ter a ‘ troca’ de ciclo numa mudança de signos permite que aproveitemos tanto a energia de um quanto do outro signo. A Lua Cheia já é por si só animadora e inflamada. E, no signo de Áries amplia ainda mais a vontade de iniciar projetos e se arriscar em novas empreitadas. Mas com a influência forte de Touro nesta troca de ciclos, poderemos, inusitadamente, acrescentar ingredientes de solidez e segurança nos avanços instigados. Perfeito. “Os indivíduos não chegam a uma total autocompreensão enquanto não aceitam seus sentimentos religiosos.” (Carl G. Jung): Neste período de quinze dias teremos muitos planetas transitando por Escorpião: Marte, Vênus, Mercúrio e o Sol. E escorpião sempre nos remete às sensações e aos sentimentos mais íntimos e sedutores... Assim, neste período contaremos com uma e

Grace

Image
Grace means more than gifts. In grace something is transcended, once and for all overcome. Grace happens in spite of something; it happens in spite of separateness and alienation. Grace means that life is once again united with life, self is reconciled with self. Grace means accepting the abandoned one. Grace transforms fate into a meaningful vocation. It transforms guilt to trust and courage. The word grace has something triumphant in it. - Yrjo Kallinen

Walt Whitman - Tears

Image
TEARS! tears! tears! In the night, in solitude, tears; On the white shore dripping, dripping, suck’d in by the sand; Tears—not a star shining—all dark and desolate; Moist tears from the eyes of a muffled head: —O who is that ghost?—that form in the dark, with tears? What shapeless lump is that, bent, crouch’d there on the sand? Streaming tears—sobbing tears—throes, choked with wild cries; O storm, embodied, rising, careering, with swift steps along the beach; O wild and dismal night storm, with wind! O belching and desperate! O shade, so sedate and decorous by day, with calm countenance and regulated pace; But away, at night, as you fly, none looking— O then the unloosen’d ocean, Of tears! tears! tears! Walt Whitman
