From Did You Know Category:

An interesting article that I've read, in november. I've chosen an excerpt from it and if you're interesting just click, below, to read about "writing " and to discover more info:

"But what is it about writing that calms the mind and helps us heal emotionally?

There are no solid answers but there’s plenty of research showing the human mind needs meaning — a story to make sense of what has happened.

Only then can it rest. Writing forces you to organize your thoughts into a coherent structure. It helps you make sense of life."

(...)
"Switch perspectives. Those who benefit the most can see the event through other people’s eyes."*

What do you think about? It makes sense to you?

Definitions of amalgam*
noun
a mixture or blend.

"a curious amalgam of the traditional and the modern"

Translations of amalgam
noun/substantiv: amalgam
amalgam: blend, congeries
adunătură: mishmash, gathering, amalgam, heap, hotchpotch, hodge-podge

Stay positive, today, tomorrow and always!

Rămâi pozitiv, astăzi, mâine și întotdeauna!

I enjoy travelling and documenting to find out new & old things, to see world and people with one drop of positive attitude... from a huge sense of wonder... But before all, it was William Blake who beautifully said it: "To see a World in a Grain of Sand And a Heaven in a Wild Flower, Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand And Eternity in an hour. (...) Fragments from "Auguries of Innocence". Also, "It’s never too late (...) to be whoever you want to be. There’s no time limit, stop whenever you want. You can change or stay the same; there are no rules to this thing. We can make the best or the worst of it. I hope you make the best of it. And I hope you see things that startle you. I hope you feel things you never felt before. I hope you meet people with a different point of view. I hope you live a life you’re proud of. If you find that you’re not, I hope you have the strength to start all over again." excerpt by F. Scott Fitzgerald

Each of your collages is special for template and content Alexa. Amalgam is not a word I was familiar with and must remember it when playing Scrabble some time.
Thanks for linking to Mosaic Monday and a happy national day to you.

A very interesting statement about writing. I taught writing at a small university for 18 years, so I know this statement to be true as students who wrote from their hearts often were able to resolve conflicts that they struggled with for some time. Writing does help us heal. I am glad that you reminded us of that.

Very intriguing, all of it, from your beautiful landscape to the interesting philosophy about writing. I know that when I write, I feel both creatively charged and emotionally cleansed.

Thanks for sharing and happy December, Alexa!

I agree with the article as I think writing helps us to think about our feelings and to deal with them better especially if there has been some type of trauma..I also like this quote you used "Those who benefit the most can see the event through other people’s eyes."*. And I enjoyed your photo collages and the great thought you put into it...Michelle

Sakura in April

"A cherry blossom is the flower of any of several trees of genus Prunus, particularly the Japanese cherry, Prunus serrulata, which is called sakura after the Japanese (桜 or 櫻; さくら)." "The significance of the cherry blossom tree in Japanese culture goes back hundreds of years. In their country, the cherry blossom represents the fragility and the beauty of life. It's a reminder that life is almost overwhelmingly beautiful but that it is also tragically short." Source Internet/Wikipedia

"Write it on your heart

that every day is the best day in the year.

He is rich who owns the day, and no one owns the day

who allows it to be invaded with fret and anxiety.

Finish every day and be done with it.

You have done what you could.

Some blunders and absurdities, no doubt crept in.

Forget them as soon as you can, tomorrow is a new day;

begin it well and serenely, with too high a spirit

to be cumbered with your old nonsense.

This new day is too dear,

with its hopes and invitations,

to waste a moment on the yesterdays."

Source Internet: By Ralph Waldo Emerson in "Collected Poems and Translations".

Soul journeys through memories. (5) De-a lungul Dunării. Along Danube.

"Names and etymology"* "The Latin name Dānuvius is one of a number of "Old European" river names derived from a Proto-Indo-European *dānu. Other river names from the same root include the Don, Donets, Dzvina/Duna, Dysna, Dnieper and Dniestr. (...) "The Latin name is masculine (as is the name of the Rhine). German Donau (Early Modern German Donaw, Tonaw, Middle High German Tuonowe) is feminine, as it has been re-interpreted as containing the suffix -ouwe "wetland". The modern languages spoken in the Danube basin all use names derived from Dānuvius: German: Donau ([ˈdoːnaʊ̯]; Bavarian: Doana; Yiddish: Duney דוניי‎ [dʊnɛj]); Silesian: Důnaj; Upper Sorbian: Dunaj; Slovak: Dunaj ([ˈdunaj]); Hungarian: Duna ([ˈdunɒ]); Croatian: Dunav ([dǔnaʋ]; Serbian: Dunav / Дунав ([dǔnaʋ] or [dǔnaːʋ]); Romanian: Dunărea ([ˈdunəre̯a]); Romani: Dunaja ([ˈdunaja]); Bulgarian: Дунав Dunav ([ˈdunɐf]); Ukrainian: Дунай Dunai ([duˈnɑj])."Source Wikipedia

De gustibus non est disputandum

"De gustibus non est disputandum is a Latin maxim meaning "In matters of taste, there can be no disputes" (literally, "There must not be debate concerning tastes").

Sometimes the phrase is expanded as De gustibus et coloribus... referring to tastes and colors.

The implication is that everyone's personal preferences are merely subjective opinions that cannot be "right" or "wrong", so they should never be argued about as if they were.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia De gustibus non est disputandum

Ziua Pământului/ Earth Day ... "Let's celebrate it in every day!"

"The Black Sea* is a sea in Southeastern Europe. It is bounded by Europe, Anatolia and the Caucasus and is ultimately connected to the Atlantic Ocean via the Mediterranean and the Aegean Seas and various straits. The Bosphorus Strait connects it to the Sea of Marmara, and the Strait of the Dardanelles connects that sea to the Aegean Sea region of the Mediterranean. These waters separate eastern Europe and western Asia. The Black Sea is also connected to the Sea of Azov by the Strait of Kerch." *click for more info on Wikipedia.

On short... Signs of Spring (I)

"Ascultă, priveşte şi taci!... Ascultă, să-nveţi să vorbeşti, Priveşte, să-nveţi să clădeşti, Şi taci, să-nţelegi ce să faci... Ascultă, priveşte şi taci" (...) Când braţele-ncep să te doară, De teamă să nu-mbătrâneşti, Rămâi tot cel care eşti – Aceeaşi piatră de moară – Când braţele-ncep să te doară!... Iar când, cu ochii spre cer, Te-ntrebi ce-ai putea să mai faci, Ascultă, priveşte şi taci!... Din braţe fă-ţi aripi de fier Şi zboară cu ele spre cer!..." Fragmente din poemul "A XI-a poruncă" de Ion Minulescu (1881 - 1944)

Sarmale Tradiţionale/ Cabbage Rolls filled with pork meat; versiuni reţeta/recipe (ro/eng)

"Sărmăluţele, ca şi sărutările, n-au număr. Nu ceri şi nici nu ţi se dă un număr de sărmăluţe, ci un grup. Vezi cu surprindere că a dispărut. Ti se dă altul. In clipa când ai devenit melancolic, nu mai ceri. Atunci abia înseamnă că ai mâncat sărmăluţe. Clipa sărmăluţelor fusese atât de palpitant patriotică, încăt baba, ca şi acei regi care se duceau singuri pe cîmpul luptelor importante, apăruse în uşa sofrageriei. Lupta fusese câştigată: farfuria sărmăluţelor era goală.” (Ionel Teodoreanu: La Medeleni din vol.III Intre Vînturi)"
