UBUNTU - I'M JUST BECAUSE WE ARE

UBUNTU - I'M JUST BECAUSE WE ARE

Extrato Pó Ético # 033

I searched for in the whole world

the most beautiful rose,

even not known where it arose

Most valuable than gold

feeling fruitful worth to hold

That means to live and deliver.

All as one, everyone.

No meeting in palaces,

nor in gold, treasures,

in cribs, cultures,

or in large fritters,

in ornaments, art places.

Among reach people

you'll not find for sure

Go to wealthy noble,

But you'll find, I ensure,

Among in need ennoble.

Just among Xhosa boys,

for being righteous, truly
One caring for the ohter,

being for all as a brother,

No falsehood, but friendly

This flower, it never destroys,

We're one, too - Ubuntu!

I'm just because we are.

These Kids!!!

These Kids!!!

By: João Bosco Rolim Esmeraldo

There is nothing more beautiful

Than a Child's sweet look

Flying minds, making castles or playing in a brook.

These kids--Deep knowledge--yet childish.

Kids confuse adults with their many questions:

Why? And more whys? Always more!

They want to learn all means;

These Kids--never satisfied in any way.

Until to deplete our answerpool,

Asks us that question that no man

Can stay without of face sucker.

These kids--teach us patience...

They ask:

"Why the dog is able to understand us?

He does everythings we order, one by one;

Will he be more intelligent? ".

These Kids--always curious...

WEEDS? NEVER!

WEEDS?

We commonly hear ppeople referring to the herbs of the field with a pejorative denomination. But will even if they are weeds? Why do we call this way if they, in fact, are much more helpful than harmful. For pure prejudice, often reject people or things, which could be very useful if we knew its real value.
They do not need cultivation to be born and grow. Just born and fulfill their role in nature. All ecologically balanced. When rains fall off the next day we can see the festival of herbs sprouting here, there and there. Suddenly, what once seemed dead, it revitalized the abundant green reveals the freshness of the life force to sprout. There are no words to describe the beauty of panoramic unfold around us. It is an inspiration more sensitive to the artist or by combining the colors on screens through skillful brushes, or through harmonious sounds, sounding their sounding chords or dissonant en-harmony in perfect harmony, a blend of sounds and pauses of varying length which results in an unforgettable number.
I think back to the grass so-called 'weeds'. How can they be treated as if you yourself have made available the beauty and luxury that not even Solomon in all his shining glory was unable to match these humble and fragile seedlings, that sprout today and tomorrow dry? I can feel, even from afar, the love of God for us, caring for each function of our body, working so flawlessly. Course work in perfect rhythm--in harmony with nature, unless they lower our guard, and let us take care of them.

How can they prove harmful, if they have an important role in the ecological balance that man lives off balance? Their role is to keep the land around it nurtured, trying to prevent the floods arrate nutrients into rivers and the sea. Nutrients should be in the earth in place, but when you come home and start to hoe, clearing the ground, encouraging the migration of nutrients into the sea, where they have the same utility, and to compensate for this nonsense, poisoning the land with pesticides and chemical fertilizers--which then becomes harmful to society as a whole.

Weeds, never! Wherever they are born, and everything has been said, they help save the land, preventing erosion. Without them, the rain streaming digs grooves and erodes the field, a component of environmental destruction affecting flora and fauna.

Almost made a sacrilege to a less desirable grass...

The maiden came from the yard, complaining to my wife that she had been burned in a nettle. And I did not even know it was there. Immediately, I was driven to exterminate it. I was against them, knowing that weeds are a great help in this grass, and I just tried to find out their properties. Besides being an excellent vegetable, used in cooking Scottish authorities the Middle Ages, young nettle leaves can be eaten raw in salads, in omelets, soups or cooked like other vegetables. The caustic action of its leafs cease after harvest 12 or boiled. It is still used against anemia, arthritis and rheumatism, the treatment of eczema and acne, against hair loss and the delay of prostate hypertrophy. Weeds have a detoxifying effect, antianaemic and diuretic. It is still indicated for the treatment of hypertension and diabetes.
So I brought the Nettle its real status of medicinal plant, and I created a bed just for it and its new plant. I was burned by the acid in their leafs, but not even a base against acid. Immediately I washed the back of my hands with soap and the burning ceased.
Taking this into everyday life, we are often driven by prejudice and deprecated those who would be blessings to our lives. People often acidic, but with a huge potential, if we knew, we could deal with them leading them to great achievements. The apparent action 'stinging them' would be easily overshadowed by the qualities and fruits that would certainly produce and harvest.
The first impression is not that it should stay. Appearances leads us to mistakes, and ignorance kills, but the knowledge will revitalize and build, resulting Sow Food a peaceful and harmonious between man and his habitat. Harmonious co-existence, valuing the individual, mutual respect to strengthen the family, our rationale of being and basis for a healthy society, solid, balanced and productive lives.
Be Jesus the center.

THE MOST BEAUTIFUL SPECTACLE

THE MOST BEAUTIFUL SPECTACLE NEVER SEEN BEFORE

UFO's – Unidentified Flying Object . Here it is a polemic subject get there! Divided opinions without a common denominator, especially concerning the veracity and their source. I will not dwell on details of these theories , it certainly is not the object of my article. However, what I report is something of which I was eye-witness. It was interesting. Something unforgettable. It is a pity that this has not been notified by the television channels of that season, at least, a line in a newspaper or a specialized magazine in the subject or not. Only people living in the countryside or suburban chácaras had the privilege of, as I witnessed this cosmic event. But what I conforta is knowing that hundreds of thousands saw what I saw.

Everything happened overnight July 1966. I was dining at home of my grandparents, in the light of a querosene lamp, in the village of Missão Nova (New Mission, today, Vila Joaca Rolim), district of Missão Velha (Old Mission), south of the State of Ceara, some 500km away from Fortaleza, about 420 meters above sea level. Like all municipalities in the region, jammed in the Cariri Valley, the foothills of the Chapada do Araripe (900 - 960m sea level). It was around 5:30 PM, preparing for the dusk. While I taked my dinner, was attracted by a yelling of children and adults that would increasimg in number and degree of intensity. We have already lasted some 15 minutes and wasst disturbed me and continued to the point of abandoning the dinner than to see it. When I came to the terrace, outside, regretted not having left soon to hear the first cry. What wonder! What spectacle! Hollywood could not reproduce the scene could see that - as in this picture, coming from the south, on top of the Araripe Mountain, heading north, over our skies, hundreds of thousands of celestial bólidos in mutant colors of intense brightness. Cool!

A desperation has taken the emotional of these people there - "It's the end of the world," they said. It was people asking for forgiveness, others prayed and cried aloud. It was an inconvenience without dimension. I was simply amazed front of rare natural spectacle. Or would be supernatural. Someone shouted: "They are flying saucers. They will take us. What will become of us? Oh, my God!". At that time the radio stations were playing the song DISCO VOADOR (Flying Sauacer), nowadays remixed by Sérgio Reis. I did not believe that they were flying saucers. I have always been sceptical regarding this matter. I thought: "There should be a logical explanation for all this happening. I will not rest until we find out." - I promised to myself. Meanwhile, the sky bodies, fulfilled its path south to north. They filled all sky vault with those movements of translation, a shy-gloss colors. After moving away from the Moutain they were disappearing down to the horizon, to the north. Someone would say - "A show of stars shiny sliding on the sky." But for me, it was more than that.

At March 1973, the press announced the discovery of the Koroutek comet and at the same time, preparing the souls of people to wait and see without fear, that does not happen to the emotional discontrol tha happened in the passage of Harley comet. As at 1910 I read that some of the things that prior to passage of a comet for land, is a rain of the meteor dusk, I cried out: "Eureka! So it was it! Everything was stripped. " What we saw at July 1966 it was nothing more than a rare spectacle that preceded the appearance of the comet Tempel-Tuttle, a river of interplanetary dust, particles of debris left by the star on its trajectory around the sun during certain hours, most of these particles collides with the Earth's upper atmosphere at speeds of 71 kilometers per second. In the spring, the comet was very bright, its tail had a quadrant of the sky vault; remembered a white straw of coconut tree. Its nucleus, on the horizon, looked twice the size larger than the sun, but its appearance near the sunrise, starting at 5:30 AM, reaching the maximum brightness of six, when the sun rising and roubbed its the scene with its shiny and strong light. Those were undoubtedly the most beautiful shows I have seen in all my life.

5. "Obedience and submission are acts which require voluntary waiver of your own volition, but they generate fruits of excellence worth a life."

6. "A damaged basis crumbles the building."

7. "We are Spirit, Body and Soul. The Spirit is as God sees us, the Soul is how we see ourselves and the Body is the way others see us. We are perfect and completely happy when perfectly harmonized in these three forms of vision".

8. "In the present we write what we read of the past and what we design for the future. What we think of ourselves it is just what we will be."

Are You a Cat or a Dog?

I keep myself imagining these two little creatures that someday they came to inhabit in our small ans restrict space – Our home.
At first we resisted to accept any of them.
We had many metier, and there would be no possibility of we care of them. So, Here are our children:
Don’t worry, dad and mom. We’ll care of our pets. You won’t no care about them. We Will.
Although knowing that they, in fact, won’t fulfill that promise, we agreed.
The exciting endured just few hours. In a few time they were sleeping.
Could you imagine the ending of this story?
Off course that all work came to us. But we learnt a lot with our little dog about – love, dedication and unconditional fidelity.
All that true friends must dedicate ones with anothers.
We already had four dogs (Dod (black poodle), Kirk (brown mixed races), Led (cockerpoo) e Punky (cgampagne poodle), but now we only have (Dod and Kirk).
After it was the chance for the cat. We resisted a lot until to accept it, but it was the same story and, at last, accepted by free and spontaneous pressure.

Hiro Nakamura, the cat, came as willing nothing. Always clever and conquering his space with both his humble meow and looking.
First, he conquered dogs’ friendship. Now, he is sleeping on the backs of Dod. So, he wants now to domain the whole house.
He got Kika, a little maracajá cat (Brazilian specimen) and He is dating with her.
I realize that he is bringing Kika to sleep together on the Dad’s chair in the living room.
They destroyed my passion fruit’s trees because they joke to climb up the avocado tree wich supports the passion fruit trees. What a clever cat!
On this picture we find Kirk, Led e Punky deciding to walk with Joel.
This, at right side is Punky. She is no more with us.
We called the cat by Joel this way because his crying brings to our mind the sounds of this name.
She led Kirk to him to be taken by mouth and quit walking around the ground and then back to the porch where everything is repeated again.
But Hiro loungs to be the godfather. He comes slowly, softly touching our legs, asking for attetion and meal.
Looking this pets I find two kinds of friends.
First, those who comes to you and becomes an unconditional friend. Asking nothing to change and He or she becomes an unconditional friend. Nothing waiting back to him. Only a true and pure friendship. This the dog. A friend through any circumstance.
If it’s necessary He could give his own life in favor of his Best friend – His owner.
Second, here is the cat. Always clever. Acts as a friend, but his interest is to be in your house, your space. It’s true that cats have great utility at home. Bugs and rats are exterminated by the cats in the environment. But if you need to move to another place, be sure that dogs will go with you no matter where are you going. UNCONDITIONALLY
Cats prefer to stay in the environment they live.
It happened this way Joel. Oops! Joélia, because we discovered it was female when I found on her cats’ nest.
It will be with Hiro, too.
I learnt here one lesson for us. There are friends like cats and dogs. We need both. It is unpleasant living this life without friends to trust in him. But the cats help us learn to serve each other without any hope of return. Despite the cats.
It is true that our Hiro sometimes has crisis of identity and reaches to act as a dog, but it is a cat. When the speaks instinct higher, returns acting as genuine feline.
And you? What class do you fit?
Are you a cat or a dog?
