A miña nova declaración de amor vai versar así.
Seguimos coa actualidade que debería existir
Há quase dois anos, se bem se lembram, publiquei aqui algumas entrevistas, incluídas no documentário “Human”, da autoria do Yann Arthus-Bertrand.
Uma das que mais me marcou (e foram várias), foi a história de Leonard, que podem rever aí em cima.
Curiosamente, já há alguns anos também, tinha um livro em lista de espera, que finalmente adquiri este mês: “Wildflower in the Median”. Eu já nem me lembro onde fui tirar a sugestão para este livro, já que os autores não eram familiares e só tinha reparado no nome de um deles: Agnes Furey. Devo ter visto nalguma lista de livros recomendado de alguém, ou alguém nalguma entrevista deve ter recomendado isto e eu achei interessante.
Comecei a ler esta semana e a história parecia-me tão familiar. O livro é o conjunto de histórias, poemas, desenhos e correspondência entre a Agnes Furey e Leonard Scovens. O mesmo Leonard que foi registado no documentário.
Jjá tinha alguma curiosidade em perceber esta relação entre os dois e esta coincidência foi mesmo feliz. O livro demonstra, pouco a pouco, como ambos acabaram por ficar ligados, unidos por uma tragédia e como continuaram ligados depois disso e até hoje.
Ambos fundaram a Achieve Higher Ground, um programa de justiça restauradora, implementado no Departamento Prisional da Florida.
É um livrinho pequeno e muito fácil de ler, que recomendo vivamente
Almost two years ago, if you remember, I posted here a few interviews from the documentary by Yann Arthus-Bertrand, “Human”,
One of the interviews that make most impact in me (an they were several), was the story of Leonard, which you can watch above.
Curiously, I also had a book on my waiting list for a few years, which I finally bought this month, “Wildflowers in the Median”. I can’t even remember where I got the suggestion of reading it, as it’s authors weren’t familiar and I had only noticed the name of one of them, Agnes Furey. I must have seen it on a recommended book list or someone must have recommended it on some interview.
I started reading it this week and the story seemed so familiar. The book is a gathering of stories, poems, drawings and letters between Agnes Furey and Leonard Scovens. The same Leonard you can hear on the documentary.
I was already curious about understanding the relationship between these two people and this coincidence was really a happy one. The book shows us, little by little, how both got connected by a tragedy and how their connection has continued after this, until today.
They’re co-founders of the Achieve Higher Ground, a restorative justice program being implemented in the Florida Department of Corrections.
It’s a small little book, very easy to read, which I highly recommend.
Para mim, os desenhos animados que hoje em dia apresentam às crianças, não têm qualidade artística nem intelectual, por isso os rejeito.
Todos Os Problemas Estão Na Minha Percepção Do Mundo
"In some ways the link between wider income gaps and lower social mobility is unsurprising. From violin lessons to tu- tors for tests, richer parents can invest more in their children, im- proving their chances of getting into the best universities. The meritocratic assumption is that public provision of basic ser- vices, particularly education, does enough to counter this advan- tage to give everyone a reasonable start. That was never true in poor countries with rudimentary social services. Increasingly, it does not seem to be true in rich ones either, particularly America. But the link between inequality and declining mobility is not in- evitable"
