Thank Goodness for Jeffrey Goldberg and Anne Applebaum!
So refreshing to see and listen to The Atlantic’s editor in chief Jeffrey Goldberg and journalist and writer Anne Applebaum discussing Signalgate and everything that has happened after he was added to a group chat with top administration officials created for the purpose of coordinating high-level national-security conversations about the Houthis in Yemen. How rewarding […]
Bra och dåliga skolmiljöer
På sjuttiotalet gick jag i det som idag är seminarieskolan i Ekenäs. Då var det seminariets folkskola. Vi delade gård med Ekenäs folkskola. När jag började skolan var det sand på gårdsplanen och en del träd och många buskar inramade gården men i början på sjuttiotalet beslöt beslutsfattare att asfaltera gården. Då ordnade vi skolbarn en […]
Droplets
On this very special day in history, which seems very dark right now – not only because it’s November, but also because Trump was elected a second time – our family (who right now live in 4 countries) is trying to not drown in despair and sadness, by sending each other uplifting podcasts, songs, articles. […]
Young Black Men and Kamala Harris
Isn’t it unbelievable that the race for president between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump is still so close? I am not the only one in our family who is avoiding to watch the news about the election, or choosing very closely what I am watching, to try not to despair but have some hope left. How can the race […]
Förenade visioner
Inte för sent att integrera visioner – insändare i Västra Nyland 4.7 2023 ”Över min döda kropp ska naturum stängas” sa en tjänsteman när Naturums framtida öde kom på tal. Vi som jobbade för Ekenäs Naturums överlevnad i projektet ”Nya naturum” var naturligtvis glada över en sådan attityd. Vi visste att även om stöd från […]
Will this disruption save the planet?
It is just amazing what is happening to air pollution in the western world right now! This image shows the difference in air pollution in China. January 20th 2020 and February 10 – 25 2020. Banksy’s graffiti text which was meant to be a warning and a plea is now a reality for all of […]
And the people stayed home
And The People Stayed Home And the people stayed home. And read books, and listened, and rested, and exercised, and made art, and played games, and learned new ways of being, and were still. And listened more deeply. Some meditated, some prayed, some danced. Some met their shadows. And the people began to think differently. […]
Rapport från tredje våningen
Det ljusnar ute. Natten var lugn och oron släppte. Vill leva kvar i morgonbubblan, nyheterna får vänta. Morgonyogar i rofyllt tillstånd. Vinden viner där ute. Reflekterar, ser sammanhang, tar mig tid. Indraget seminarium om social hållbarhet i Malmö, symptomatiskt på något sätt. Barnen går till skolan genom stormen, i Danmark ska skolorna stänga. Barnbarnets glada […]
