The Mount of Olives, A Place of Death, Ascension and Everlasting Life

Standing at the overlook on the Mount of Olives, a breathtaking view spreads before me to include the Temple Mount and the city of Jerusalem.  Once flourishing with olive trees, the site has become a holy place connected with events surrounding Jesus’ death and ascension into heaven. Tombs dating back to the First Temple period remain in the Kidron Valley outside of the city walls. The cemetery…

English is strangling other languages on the Internet

English is strangling other languages on the Internet

[ad_1]

When it comes to Internet accessibility, having a strong Wi-Fi connection is just the beginning. What’s the use of even the fastest internet speeds if you can’t read the words on the page?

Even if global access to Internet becomes a reality, language barriers make complete accessibility an impossibility.

No way. The hundred is there. The child is made of one hundred. The child has  a hundred languages a hundred hands a hundred thoughts a hundred ways of thinking of playing, of speaking A hundred always a hundred ways of listening of marveling of loving a hundred joys for singing and understanding a hundred worlds to discover a hundred worlds to invent a hundred worlds to dream. The child has  a hundred languages (and a hundred hundred hundred more) but they steal ninety-nine. The school and the culture separate the head from the body. They tell the child: to think without hands to do without head to listen and not to speak to understand without joy to love and marvel only at Easter and Christmas. They tell the child: to discover the world already there and of the hundred they steal ninety-nine. They tell the child: that work and play reality and fantasy science and imagination sky and earth reason and dream are things that do not belong together. And thus they tell the child that the hundred is not there. The child says: No way. The hundred is there.

No Way. The Hundred is There.

The child is made of one hundred.

The child has hundred languages, a hundred hands,

a hundred thoughts, a hundred ways of thinking,

of playing, of speaking,

a hundred always a hundred ways of listening, of marveling, of loving

a hundred joys for singing and understanding

a hundred worlds to discover

a hundred world to invent

a hundred worlds to dream.

The child has one hundred languages

(and a hundred hundred hundred more)

But they steal ninety-nine.

The school and the culture

separate the head and the body

They tell the child to think without the hands

to do without the head

to listen and not to speak

to understand without joy

to love and to marvel

only at Easter and Christmas.

They tell the child:

that work and play, reality and fantasy

science and imagination

sky and earth, reason and dream

are things that do not belong together.

And thus they tell the child

that the hundred is not there.

  The child says:

No way. The hundred is there.
