I am Someone …

If I define myself, I am somone who likes the smell of the Earth, the touch of waves, the sight of trees, the sound of laughter and the feeling of being fully alive by becoming the reason behind the smiles of the people.:)
I am someone who’s mountains are bones, rivers are veins, forests are thoughts and the stars are dreams. The ocean is my heart, its pounding my pulse. Someone, who’s song of the Earth writes the music of soul…I love man less but the nature more.
The journey of my life is to search for the light. But sometimes, finding the light means you have to pass through the deepest darkness. At least, that’s how it is for me.:)
I danced beneath the stars
Like I am drunk in the night
I let the thunder overtake me
As lightening fills the sky
I, feel the force of nature

Levantou-se um coro de elogios a propósito do falecimento de Shimon Peres. Figura muito destacada do sionismo, Peres foi um dos mais altos responsáveis e defensores dos crimes cometidos em nome da política colonial e genocida do estado de Israel. É portanto necessário contrapor a verdade histórica ao elogio e branqueamento do personagem que os media internacionais levam a cabo.

Apesar da expulsão violenta dos palestinos ser um facto histórico, Peres afirmou que antes de Israel existir «não havia nada aqui».
Durante sete décadas, Peres foi primeiro-ministro (duas vezes) e presidente da República…

Were There Giants in Ancient Ireland?

I suppose that depends on what you mean by ‘giant’. The Oxford Dictionary is vague: ‘An imaginary or mythical being of human form but superhuman size’. It backs this up with, ‘An abnormally or extremely tall or large person, animal, or plant‘.
If you Google it, you will be told that Irish mythology is full of stories of giants. Despite popular belief, search a little more deeply, and you’ll find this is not true. More often than not, it is folklore which tells of giants, as last week’s post explains; Fionn mac Cumhall reduced to hiding in a crib dressed as a baby, even though he was so large he was responsible for building a road across the sea to Scotland, which we now know as the ‘Giant’s Causeway’; the giant witch-hag falling to her death as she leaped from crag to crag, carrying boulders in…
