I just saw the Boto : beautiful creatures living in the Amazon river...
I had to go straight and pay at the WWF site. No more "no money" excuses...
We define our priorities...Last year I prefered to give to survival-international.
And these "beautiful people" Zo'e who love life and work only 2 hours a day!
Human cultural diversity needs some of our attention!
LIFE above the urge to dominate!
Yes I know : domination has been a part of LIFE's "game"...
You decide....

Global Action for Zimbabwe

As violence escalates due to President Mugabe's ruthless efforts to stay in power and crush the opposition, hope fades for free and fair elections. The people of Zimbabwe are suffering from intimidation, torture and other horrific abuses such as rape and food deprivation.

SAVE the Greek landscape!

The Greek government is trying to pass a Spatial Plan for Tourism, under which big real estate projects throughout the country, will be subsided by state funding. Already, hedge funds are buying big pieces of land especially in virgin Aegean islands in order to make use of this Spatial Plan regulations. Greece is facing the threat of repeating the spanish epxerience. We fear that if this Spatial Plan is signed the Aegean islands will be savagly urbanised sucrificing their landscape, biodiversity and cultural heritage.
Please help us block this Spatial Plan for Tourism by signing the petition: http://www.diktioaigaiou.gr/contents/chorotaxiko_eng.php?lang=2

tears for love?

"The woman who is separated from her lover spins at the spinning wheel.
The Baghdad of the body rises with its towers and gates.
Inside it the palace of intelligence has been built.

The wheel of ecstatic love turns around in the sky,
and the spinning seat is made of the sapphires of work and study.

This woman weaves threads that are subtle,
and the intensity of her praise makes them fine!

Kabir says: I am that woman.
I am weaving the linen of day night and day.

When my Lover comes and I feel his feet,
the gift I will have for him is tears."

KABIR (Ecstatic Poems Versions by Robert Bly)

radio in my head...

Joy of the sparrow!

I just wanted to share with you my joy of feeding the sparrows at Montparnasse station in Paris!
This reminds me what I read today in the brochure of my car's insurance company, which is awesome : they had an article about boredom and it said that it is important for our growth and wellbeing!!! Plus, that it is a characteristic of Latin and Mediterranean that is being chased away by the frenzy of Anglo-Saxon speed culture! Hmmm...was that French people speaking? ;-)

Human life?

Spirit, intelligence, or existential genius - call it as you wish - may be expressed in very complex ways...Rationalizing and interpreting another culture by standards that only express the dominant culture does not seem to guaranty anything else than opinion-ism or narcissistic supremacy...Bla, bla, bla...If you "love" humans here is one of today's suggestion to act : Bushmen in danger

Don't burn food: biofuels standards now!

Increased demand for biofuels is driving up food prices and accelerating climate change, as rainforests are destroyed to grow fuel. But with strong global sustainability standards, we can ensure that biofuels help, rather than hurt.

This weekend, the twenty biggest economies, responsible for more than 75% of the world's carbon emissions, will meet in Chiba, Japan to begin the climate change discussions leading up to the G8 summit this summer. Before the summit, let's send our leaders messages urging the adoption of global standards for biofuels.

Sending your message is easy. Click HERE : AVAAZ!

much to learn...

I posted an excerpt from the Non Violent Communication book because we desperately need it...(See previous post)
I keep seeing suffering around me because of lack of consciousness in the intersubjective communication. I don't only see it around me, I experience it in my private life also...We still have much to learn...

Let's keep breathing....

Center for Nonviolent Communication?

This book is a treasure for human suffering! Here's an excerpt :
"what evidence is there that we have adequately empathized with the other person? First, when an individual realizes that everything going on within has received full empathic understanding, they will experience a sense of relief. We can become aware of this phenomenon by noticing a corresponding release of tension in our own body. A second even more obvious sign is that the person will stop talking..."

awake & dreaming

Your vision will become clear only when you look into your heart . . .
Who looks outside, dreams. Who looks inside, awakens.
Carl Jung (1875 - 1961)
