We measure time by its deaths, yes, and by its births. For time is told also by life. As some depart, others come. The hand opened in farewell remains open in welcome. I, who once had grandparents and parents, now have children and grandchildren. Like the flowing river that is yet always present, time that is always going is always coming. And time that is told by death and birth is held and redeemed by love, which is always present. Time, then, is told by love’s losses, and by the coming of love, and by love continuing in gratitude for what is lost. It is folded and enfolded and unfolded forever and ever, the love by which the dead are alive and the unborn welcomed into the womb. The question for the old and the dying, I think, is not if they have loved and been loved enough, but if they have been grateful enough for love received and given, however much. No one who has gratitude is the onliest one. Let us pray to be grateful to the last.

“Capoeira is an Afro-Brazilian martial art developed by African slaves in Brazil, and basically Africans wanted to disguise their martial arts and training as a dance, and I think Capoeira is one of the most beautiful things that has ever been created evolve from oppression.”

Yemanja/ Yemoja by Marcelo Jorge

Yemanjá: Candomblé cult in Bahia, Recôncavo baiano, Bahia, Brazil – February 2012. Jan Sochor Photography.

“Yemanjá is one of the most popular ‘orixás’, the deities or spiritual entities from the Afro-Brazilian religion of Candomblé, a syncretic religious fusion which has developed amongst the black slaves brought to Brazil from Western Africa during the colonial times. The personage of Yemanjá/Yemaya originally comes from the ancient Yoruba mythology and she is the goddess of the ocean. According to the spiritual concepts of Candomblé, Yemanjá represents the essence of motherhood. In spite of being often displayed as a beautiful mermaid with long and loose hair to wind, she is considered a protector of fishermen and sailors.”
