"In 2016, 54 land rights defenders were killed in Brazil, the highest since 2003. Deforestation rates in 2016 were up 29 percent. Moreover, the administration of President Michel Temer is pushing to roll back indigenous rights and environmental protections in order to open the Amazon rainforest to corporate interest, from largescale hydroelectric dams and waterways, to massive agribusiness projects. Justice Minister Osmer Serraglio is one of the leading proponent of this rights rollback and the original sponsor of a proposal to amend the constitution to severely limit indigenous land titles, past and future."  (From Amazon Watch press release for the Global Earth Day Mobilisation)

Lazy Sunday afternoon, blue sky and red wine

Maybe next time

I should be flying to NYC right now.
About one month ago I planned a quick scape to watch "Sunday in the park with George" and spend a few days in the city visiting what I didn't had the chance last September.
I even bought a ticket for tomorrow night... And God knows I need a break after these two last weeks...
Maybe next time.

Every once and awhile I gotta remember myself of this song, its message, sound...

All the thoughts,... You never see,... You're always thinking,...
Brain is wired,... Brain is deep,... Oh are you sinking?,...
Feel the path of every day,... Which road you taking?,...
Breathing hard,...  Making hay,... Yeah this is living,...

Look for love & evidence,... That you're worth keeping,...

Swallowed whole in negatives,... It's so sad & sickening,...

Feel the air up above,... A pool of blue sky,...
Fill the air up with love,... Oh Black w/starlight,...

Feel the sky blanket you,... With gems & rhinestones,...
See the path cut by the moon,... For you to walk on,...
For you to walk on,...

Nothing left,... Nothing left,...
Nothing there,... Nothing left,...

See the path cut by the moon,... For you to walk on,...
See the waves on distant shores,... Awaiting your arrival,...

Dream the dreams of other men,... You'll be no ones rival,...
Dream the dreams of others then,... You will be no ones rival,...
You will be no ones rival,...

A distant time,... A distant space,... That's where we're living.,..
A distant time,... A distant place,... So what you giving?,...
What you giving?

(music and words by Pearl Jam)

There's no proper time for bad news

But today, oh boy. Nobody could see that coming...
You didn't have to do that, girl. But it's too easy to say "we would like to help you" now.
I hope you are in peace. I truly wish that. I'm praying for.
Because I'd never feared a Monday class so much in my life like I do right now.
It will be tough. 
Yesterday you were just there. Just there
