Dádivas

Tenho estado atenta a detalhes mais pequenos. Quero aperfeiçoar a minha capacidade de observação. Até o pequeno gesto de fritar batatas para um jantar a dois, me despertou mais poesia no peito. Um gesto simples, bonito (e calórico). O poder estar ali, a dividir uma mesa com as mãos que me têm dado uma segurança bonita. O Efeito Borboleta - que ficou por terminar. Uma luz de cabeceira, e um silêncio profundo que se instaura ali, sempre que o Sol se põe.  Surpresas em jardins - rosas, e sandes. Para me fazer feliz, para me mmimar. Superei as minhas antes - capacidades. Tenho mostrado a mim própria metas que antes eram inatingíveis. Um amor que fica - mesmo depois das batatas fritas.

On stage for the Leave Means Leave campaign were speakers such as Claire Fox (Academy of Ideas), Tim Martin (boss of Wetherspoons), Kate Hoey MP, and, finally, Nigel Farage, who infamously declared the Brexit referendum in June 2016 as ‘our independence day’. When the Leave Means Leave rally dispersed, attention turned to the other end of the square where Ukip and Tommy Rob...

Marching To Overturn The Referendum

Originally posted: RisingEast Text: Marta Cerdá  On Saturday around 400,000 people marched to Parliament Square to demand a final say on Brexit. People may argue about the exact numbers, but the conviction of those that attended was almost palpable. The marchers included people from all over the UK and Europe, and whether you agree with them or not, it is clear that Theresa May has failed to win the public’s trust, and that Brexit has created a deep gap between the citizens and their government. A tide of blue flags with golden stars filled Westminster as the protesters marched to the rhythm of many songs, including a Celine Dion hit with an appropriate title for those on the march who worry that the UK will be left isolated after Brexit: “All by Myself”. The marchers on Saturday were unlikely to have included any of the over 17 million people who voted to leave Europe. But what the march showed was that those who don’t want to leave are dete...
