Joshua Tree #poem by George Cassidy Payne
“is a place that has nothing
to do with us. A place where
deer sleep and mammoth did
before them. Hidden and held
in place by a secret grammar
of grace, the kind that makes an
old hippie smile at a handful”

Do not get depressed at your job by Stan Popovich
Some people can get depressed at their job and they do not know what to do about it. As a result, here is a list of techniques that a person can use to make their job more satisfying.
One of the ways to manage your depression at your job is to challenge your negative thinking with positive statements and realistic thinking. When encountering thoughts that make you fearful or depressed, challenge those thoughts by asking yourself questions that will maintain objectivity and common sense. For example, you are afraid that if you do not get that job promotion then you will be stuck at your job forever. This depresses you, however your thinking in this situation is unrealistic. The fact of the matter is that there all are kinds of jobs available and just because you don’t get this job promotion doesn’t mean that you will never get one. In addition, people change jobs all the time, and you always have that option of going elsewhere if you are unhappy at your present location.

Beautiful Words #poem & #painting by Nikos Laios
“The pages
Of a poetry
Book flap open
In the breeze on a table,
And the heat of the
Day melts on my forehead
And cheeks and I close
My eyes and an
Orange warmth
Floods the inside
Of my eyelids,
And sweat trickles
Down my neck.”

Edmond Privat by Rene Wadlow
17 August is the birth anniversary of Edmond Privat in 1889 − a leading world citizen of the first wave of world citizen action closely associated with the League of Nations. It was natural for Privat, a citizen of Geneva, to be drawn to the efforts of the League of Nations.
He served from 1923 to 1927 as the vice-delegate for Iran. In the early League days, many States did not have a permanent representative to the League and so named an “intellectual personality” to represent the country. Privat also worked at different times at the League as an interpreter from English to French. In those days, there was no simultanious interpretation but only consequtive interpretation. The interpreter, standing near the speaker had to convey some of the same drama in his voice. Privat was an experienced orator, one of the first to make regular radio broadcasts and so was much appreciated as an interpreter. At the time, the League Secretariat staff was small, and there was a good deal of interaction among the staff and the government delegates. Thus Privat, already a political journalist, could follow closely world events and the League efforts.

Facing The Fear And Anxiety Of The Unknown by Stan Popovich
Almost everybody worries about what will happen in the future. The prospect of not knowing if something good or bad will happen can produce a lot of fear and anxiety.
As a result, here are seven ways on how to deal with the fear of the unknown.
1. No one can predict the future with one hundred percent certainty: Even if the thing that you fear does happen there are circumstances and factors that you can’t predict which can be used to your advantage.
For instance, you miss the deadline for a project you have been working on. Everything you feared is coming true. Suddenly, your boss tells you that the deadline is extended and that he forgot to tell you the day before. This unknown factor changes everything.

Human wisdom most important.
Despite this, our women still give birth to people who believe their lives and cry out for joy.”
