ZIUA PAMANTULUI / EARTH DAY

2010-04-22T10:08:00.000-07:00

Zic si eu:
haideti sa ne oprim macar o clipa, un singur moment sa ne gandim, nu...sa meditam la soarta PAMANTULUI!
SAU DOAR SA MULTUMIM!
Putem face asta si nu este greu deloc...
Poate constientizand soarta care ne asteapta, vom putea face ceva...un gest cat de mic, poate fi inceputul unei calatorii interioare care ne poate transforma...de ce nu, in COPIII MAMEI PAMANT.
Ceea ce si suntem , de altfel...doar ca am uitat cum sa ne iubim MAMA...

And I say: let's stop for even a moment, one moment to think, not.... to meditate on fate ... Earth!
OR JUST TO SAY : THANK YOU!
We can do this and it is not difficult at all ... Maybe becoming aware of the fate that awaits us, we can make something ... how a small gesture can be the beginning of an inner journey we can make ... why not in the children of Mother Earth...
What we are, in fact ... just forgot how to love our MOTHER....

..............................

Va oferim cu mult drag o parte din meditatia pentru "Mama Pamant", sustinuta in data de 8 aprilie 2010 de Daniela Lucia Nistor, cat si un mesaj important primit de la "Mama Pamant":

"Astazi pe continentul american se serbeaza ziua mea , Ziua Pamintului si de aceea va rog sa va uniti in gind cu fratii vostrii si sa meditatii si sa va rugati pentru vindecarea mea.

In timp ce pasiti binecuvintati pamintul,in timp ce beti apa binecuvintati-mi apele si in timp ce respirati binecuvintati atmosfera.

Eu ma vindec cu ajutor divin si al vostru si vindecindu-ma aduc vindecare structurilor voastre telurice."

Va iubesc si va binecuvantez....
Mama Pamant!

We offer much loved part of meditation for "Mother Earth", held in on April 8, 2010 by Daniela Lucia Nistor, and received an important message from "Mother Earth":

"Today the American continent are celebrating my birthday, Earth Day and so please be united in thought and meditation with your brethren and pray for my healing. While the earth bless walk while I drink water praise while water and breathe air praise. I heal with divine help and heal me yours and make your land-based healing structures."

I love you and bless you,
Mother Earth

"MAMA MIA"....the movie!!!!Good stuff!

2010-04-18T10:11:00.000-07:00

Mamma Mia!, promoted as Mamma Mia! The Movie, is a 2008 musical/romantic comedy film adapted from the 1999 West End musical of the same name, based on the songs of successful pop group ABBA, with additional music composed by ABBA member Benny Andersson. Produced by Universal Pictures in partnership with Tom Hanks' and Rita Wilson's Playtone and Littlestar,^[2] it became the highest-grossing film musical of all time breaking the 30-year-old record of Grease. The title originates from ABBA's 1975 chart-topper "Mamma Mia". Meryl Streep heads the cast, playing the role of single mother Donna Sheridan. Pierce Brosnan, Colin Firth, and Stellan Skarsgård play the three possible fathers to Donna's daughter, Sophie (Amanda Seyfried).

Sa vezi acest film la 8 am duminica dimineata....am simtit pe pielea mea cum este sa-ti incepi o zi superba vazand acest film.
Am plans, am ras, am cantat (nu credeam ca stiu atat de multe versuri de la ABBA) m-am intristat...si mi-am intarit visul de a ajunge sa traiesc pe o bucatica de insula greceasca.
Doamne, va doresc, daca nu ati vazut inca filmul....sa-l vedeti cu ochii sufletului!

**********************************************
Seeing this film at 8 am Sunday morning .... I felt on my my skin that is the perfect way to start a beautiful day seeing this movie. I cried, laughed, sang (I did not think they know so many verses from ABBA), I was sad ... and I dream of reaching strengthened to live on a piece of Greek island. Oh, you want, if you have not seen the movie yet .... see him with eyes of the soul!

In my opinion, the most beautiful part of the movie...And the actress Meryl Streep is ,
I think the most talented actress of our times:

CARLOS CASTANEDA
un scriitor controversat caruia i s-au atribuit lucruri si fapte si intamplari care nimeni nu poate sti daca au fost reale sau nu....
Cele dousprezece(12) carti ale sale au fost vandute in peste 8 milioane de exemplare si traduse in 17 limbi.
Un om de stiinta si un "cautator" de lumina... nu a vorbit prea mult in public despre munca sa(cartile sale); doar spre sfarsitul vietii a dat cateva interviuri...

Daca v-am starnit curiozitatea, va invit sa ii cautati , cititi , savurati cartile:

-Invataturile lui Don Juan
- Cealalta realitate
- Povestiri despre putere
- Al doilea cerc de putere
- Calatorie la Ixtlan
- Focul launtric

"Carlos Castaneda was a Peruvian-born American author who graduated from the University of California with a PhD in Anthropology. Starting with The Teachings of Don Juan in 1968, he wrote a series of controversial books that purported to describe his training in traditional Mesoamerican shamanism. Initially his books were considered works of anthropology, but five years after the first book was published, people such as Joyce Carol Oates began to question whether they weren't in fact fiction. Castaneda never provided any field notes and no professional has ever met the individuals about whom he wrote.

Castaneda was very protective of his privacy and until recently little was known about him outside what was learned from his twelve books. He rarely spoke in public except toward the end of his life, and gave very few interviews.

Since those early days when Oates called his writings into question academics, concluding that his books were fiction, have written about the inconsistencies in his work, citing the books' internal contradictions, discrepancies between the books and anthropological data, alternate sources for Castaneda's detailed knowledge of shamanic practices, and the lack of corroborating evidence. While today his publisher Simon & Schuster still publishes his books as non-fiction, it is generally acknowledged that there is little evidence to suggest that Castaneda's books were the result of actual field work with a Mesoamerican shaman as he claimed."

"My lady can sleep"
from "The Spice-Box of Earth"

"My lady can sleep
Upon a handkerchief
Or if it be Fall
Upon a fallen leaf.

I have seen the hunters
kneel before her hem
Even in her sleep
She turns away from them.

The only gift they offer
Is their abiding grief
I pull out my pockets
For a handkerchief or leaf."

(LEONARD COHEN)

1.Dimineata-mi strica somnul,
Visurile mi le prada
Ca sa-mi lase viata fada
Ornicul îmi bate gongul
Si-mi aduce aminte c-ai plecat.

2.Toate-mi par în jur straine
Lumea-i rece fara tine
Amintiri de-un gând atinse
Imi trezesc dureri aprinse
Si-mi aduc aminte c-ai plecat.
http://www.free-lyrics.org

R: Te întreb pe tine soare:
"Dragoste murit-a oare?"
Te întreb pe tine soare:
"Dragostea murit-a oare?"

4.Impreuna ne-întelegem
Ne uneste aceasi soarta
O stricam si iar o dregem
Mai din joaca, mai din cearta
Dar mi-aduc aminte c-ai plecat.

R: Te întreb pe tine soare:

NEBUNUL CU OCHII INCHISI
(Moni Bordeianu & Nicolae Covaci, Moni Bordeianu)

Pe un munte, intr-o tara foarte-ndepartata
Sta un om cu ochii-nchisi si spune ce ne-asteapta
Lumea nu-l asculta, il crede un nebun
Caci vorbele lui sunt ca niste lovituri de tun.
El sta singur si linistit
Dar in ochii lui inchisi
Vede al lumii asfintit
Nebunul cu ochii lui inchisi.

Zilele trec una dupa alta sus pe munte
Si vocea lui se-aude clar, spunand foarte multe
Lumea cea intreaga nu se-opreste sa-l asculte
Il crede un nebun ce indruga multe vorbe-absurde.
El sta singur si linistit
Dar in ochii lui inchisi
Vede al lumii asfintit
Nebunul cu ochii lui inchisi.

Pe un munte, intr-o tara foarte-ndepartata
Sta un om cu ochii-nchisi si spune ce ne-asteapta
Lumea nu-l asculta, il crede un nebun
Caci vorbele lui sunt ca niste lovituri de tun.

El sta singur si linistit |
Dar in ochii lui inchisi | * 3
Vede al lumii asfintit |
Nebunul cu ochii lui inchisi. |

Muntele Shasta are o altitudine de 14 179 feets, adica 4322 m.Iar proeminenta este de 10 000 feets, adica 3000m. Impresionant, nu??Mie asa mi s-a parut.

Plec o saptamana in Oregon!Voi gasi temperaturi mai omenesti, aer respirabil, munti, lacuri....cam ce vrea sa vada omu' in vacanta!
As fi vrut sa am timp sa va povestesc...dar promit ca o voi face la intoarcere !Pana atunci, cateva cuvinte despre ORASUL TRANDAFIRILOR!THE CITY OF ROSES!
"

Portland is the largest city in the state of Oregon and is generally considered the greenest city in the country and also one of the most liberal. It is also home to amazing brew pubs, wonderful coffee shops, nice museums, good restaurants and world famous bookstores. This is a wonderful city to spend a few days in before adventuring off to explore the amazing wilderness nearby.

Portland has roughly 2 million people living in the greater metro-area. The city was built near the confluence of the Willamette and Columbia rivers making it an important center for river traffic and the city's port is still very important to this day. When the town was first founded the two founding fathers of Asa Lovejoy and Francis W. Pettygrove both wanted to name the city after their home towns. This was settled on a 2 out of 3 coin toss and Pettygorve won. The Portland Penny can still be seen at the Oregon Historical Society. Portland was officially incorporated in 1851 as the county seat and grew from there.

Portland is known as the City of Roses."

"Un transsexual american, nascut femeie, care a urmat tratamente pentru a deveni barbat, a nascut marti al doilea sau copil, transmite ABC News, citat de AFP. Barbatul in varsta de 35 de ani, care a dat nastere in vara anului 2008 unei fetite, Susan, a nascut si un baietel, potrivit ABC News. Thomas Beatie, care este legal barbat, dar care si-a pastrat organele feminine de reproducere dupa ce si-a schimbat sexul, a facut senzatie anul trecut, cand a ramas insarcinat pentru prima oara.
Implicat intr-o relatie homosexuala cu o femeie numita Nancy, Thomas Beatie, nascut Tracy, si-a schimbat legal sexul in 1998, printr-un tratatment hormonal. El s-a casatorit apoi cu Nancy, in varsta de 46 de ani. Transsexualul a explicat ca dupa prima sa nastere nu a mai reluat tratamentul cu hormoni masculini pentru a putea avea inca un copil. El a ramas insarcinat prin inseminare artificiala. Intr-un articol publicat in primavara, el a anuntat ca este gravid din nou, ceea ce a generat o frenezie mediatica si o polemica privind valorile traditionale, relateaza ABC News pe site. "A ascunde un barbat insarcinat este ca si cum ai ascunde o gorila de 400 de kilograme", a declarat el, explicand decizia de a face publica informatia. Beatie s-a declarat surprins de cat de repede s-a raspandit informatia despre "barbatul insarcinat. "Am fost socat ca a facut inconjurul lumii in 24 de ore. Adica era pe site-urile chineze, pe site-urile din Romania si Rusia si Brazilia". a scris el. El a devenit o tinta a tabloidelor si a primit numeroase amenintari cu moartea, iar multe critici circula in continuare pe internet."

"If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or, being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or, being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise;

If you can dream--and not make dreams your master;
If you can think--and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with triumph and disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to broken,
And stoop and build 'em up with wornout tools;

If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on";

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with kings--nor lose the common touch;
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you;
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run--
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And--which is more--you'll be a Man, my son! "

Field in Spring

"Green rings around the eyes, this grass in vibrant motion
arcs tenderly about you, at a distance-
you summon it, then fling it round, broken
by your laugh of youth and innocence.

Stretched under you, this curling dome of grass
would sound its voices in the gravel-
but you are unaware - and now you pass
through foreign stars, a fool."

Nichita Stanescu-Field in Spring
sursa versuri :www.romanianvoice.com

"Cândva arborii aveau ochi,
Pot să jur,
Ştiu sigur
Că vedeam când eram arbore,
Îmi amintesc că mă mirau
Ciudatele aripi ale păsărilor
Care-mi treceau pe dinainte,
Dar dacă păsările bănuiau
Ochii mei,
Asta nu îmi mai aduc aminte.
Caut zadarnic ochii arborilor acum.
Poate nu-i văd
Pentru că arbore nu mai sunt,
Sau poate-au coborât pe rădăcini
În pământ,
Sau poate,
Cine ştie,
Mi s-a părut numai mie
Şi arborii sunt orbi dintru-nceput…
Dar atunci de ce
Când trec de ei aproape
Simt cum
Mă urmăresc cu privirile,
Într-un fel cunoscut,
De ce, când foşnesc şi clipesc
Din miile lor de pleoape,
Îmi vine să strig -
Ce-aţi văzut?…"
