“Gaza is not for sale,
Greenland is not for sale,
Ukraine is not for sale,
Canada is not for sale.
Planet Earth is not real estate,
to pander to your predatory psychopathy.
If you are so hard up for cash, we can all
chip in to buy you some good ol shock therapy.”

“Gaza is often described as 'the world's largest open air prison' because no-one is allowed to enter or leave. But that seems a bit unfair to prisons - they don’t have their electricity and drinking water cut off randomly almost every day.”
“Gaza is such a tremendous humanitarian problem, it's way beyond Israel's capability to do anything significant about. It's a world problem, but the world doesn't want to do anything about it. That the world has packed them like sardines in a tiny piece of territory run by a fanatic Islamic group, run by a fanatic group like Hamas. Unless the world decides it wants to tackle this problem, that they want to deal with refugees there, prepare to absorb some of the refugees.”
“Gaza may force us to glimpse into the heart of darkness, but it equally reveals the heart of humanity that never gives up. Gaza is not a footnote, it is the later than life shadow of the colonizer's fear: captivating, awesome, mythical, mesmerizing, extraordinary, impressive, monumental, unreal, burdensome, miraculous, and most of all, durable. Gaza is our obligation.”

“Gazal of Janid Kashmiri
{NAHI HAI GHAM SIRF TUM KO }
Nahi hai gham sirf tum ko,
Mujhe bhi gham hai bohot jana,
Ye zindagi ki raahon mein,
Hai humne dukh se bhi takrana.
Tumhare aansoon hain qeemti,
Mere bhi dard hain kahin chhupay,
Par humko mil kar chalna hai,
Har mushkil se humko ladna hai.
Raat ke andheron se darte nahi,
Subah ki roshni ko paana hai,
Dil mein umeedon ka chirag jalao,
Har rukh ko roshan kar dena hai.
Ghamon ki baarishon mein bhi,
Sang rahe humara pyaar,
Ek doosre ka saath denge,
Mushkil ghadiyon ko aasan karenge.
Tum ho meri zindagi ka rang,
Meri khushi, meri duniya ho,
Mushkil raahon pe chal kar bhi,
Har manzil tumse hi roshan ho.
To chalo saath hum mil kar,
Har gham ko hum saath sahenge,
Mere haath mein tumhara haath ho,
Har dukh ko hum khushiyon mein badal denge.”
“Gazasonetten
Al-Shams till Alpha Centauri, alla
ockuperade områden kommer att vara fria.
Tills det finns ett leende på varje
ansikte, är all lycka hädelse.
Lycka är inte en kejserlig handelsvara,
Frihet är ingen kolonisatörs arvegods.
Glädje är ingen fanatikers förfäders arv,
Jorden är inte en sionistisk egendom.
Dela och härska är djurens lag,
Förena och integrera är mänsklighetens lag.
Ett människoliv är värt mer
än alla gasreserver på jorden.
Gaza är inte en plats, utan en
väckarklocka till fredsälskande mänsklighet.
Vakna, stå upp, mina systrar och bröder -
Tills vi alla är fria, är ingen av oss fri!”

“Gaze deeply as the sky unfolds from daylight into crimson. Remain in awe at how the sky blushes as the sun leaves its farewell touch behind. Like the unfolding of day and night, you too unfold from season to season, moment to moment. Who you were a day ago is altered into who you are now. Who you are today will be altered into who you will be tomorrow. This alteration brings in the metamorphosis of the soul.”
“Gaze into the fire, into the clouds, and as soon as the inner voices begin to speak... surrender to them. Don't ask first whether it's permitted, or would please your teachers or father or some god. You will ruin yourself if you do that.”
Source: Ernest Hemingway, Knut Hamsun [and] Hermann Hesse
“Gaze no more in the bitter glass
The demons, with their subtle guile,
Lift up before us when they pass,
Or only gaze a little while.”

“Gaze not on beauty too much, lest it blast thee; nor too long, lest it blind thee; nor too near, lest it burn thee. If thou like it, it deceives thee; if thou love it, it disturbs thee; if thou hunt after it, it destroys thee. If virtue accompany it, it is the heart's paradise; if vice associate it, it is the soul's purgatory. It is the wise man's bonfire, and the fool's furnace.”

“Gaze steadfastly at things which, though far away, are yet present to the mind.”
“Gaze up at the stars knowing that I see the same sky and wish the same sweet dreams.”
“Gaze Upward, Look Inward, Reach Outward, Press Forward.”
“Gazelles are leaping, feeding on the mountains. Near are lakes. Round their shores file shadows black of cedargroves. Aroma rises, a strong hair growth of resin. It burns, the orient, a sky of sapphire, cleft by the bronze flight of eagles. Under it lies the womancity, nude, white, still, cool, in luxury. A fountain murmurs among damask roses. Mammoth roses murmur of scarlet wine grapes. A wine of shame, lust, blood exudes, strangely murmuring.”
“Gazelles didn't lie down with lions, at least not unbloodied and alive.”

“Gazete bütün insanları, tek bir kafa haline getirmeye çalışır. Tüm insanların kafasını ve düşüncesini ele geçirmeye çalışır. Benim düşünceme karşı savaşır. Bunu becirir de. Sabah kağıdı okursan, öğlene diğer Papalagi'lerin kafalarında ne taşıdıklarını, ne düşündüklerini bilirsin.
Gazete aynı zamanda bir tür makinedir. Her gün yeni düşünceler üretir. Tek bir kafanın üretebileceğinden çok daha fazlasını . Ama bu düşüncelerin çoğu onurdan ve güçten yoksun zayıf düşüncelerdir. Kafamızı bol besinlerle doldurur, ama güçlendirmez. Kafamızı aynı şekilde kumla da doldurabiliriz.”

“Gazete okurken, birileriyle konuşurken, anlatılan, iletilen acılar, kötülükler, cinayetler karşısında, ölümler, kıyımlar, kırımlar karşısında içi oynaması gerektiğini duyduğu halde gönlünden herhangi bir kıpırtı, herhangi bir ürperti geçmeyenler vardır. Bundan ötürü kaygı duyarlar. Kimi ise herhangi bir şey duyması gerektiğini de düşünmez, herhangi bir şey de duymaz; bundan ötürü kaygılanmaz, kaygılanmayı anlayamaz... Taş yürekli falan değildir bu insanlar; imgeleme güçleri, kendi dertlerinden, acılarından, gözle görülüp elle dokunabildiklerinden ötesine erişmemektedir, o kadar. Aynı kişiler ağlayan bir çocuğun resmi karşısında, sıradan bir film, bir öykü, bir oyun karşısında içlenir, üzülür, ağlar. İmgeleme güçleri ancak bir tür somutluk karşısında kıpırdanır, canlanır. .......
Bir yaşam bilişsizliğidir bu. " Bana dokunmayan yılan bin yaşasın" dedirten, kişinin kendine yakın bulmadıklarının acısı karşısında - gizli de kalsa- bir "oh olsun! dikkat edeydi ya" duygusu bile uyandırabilen bir bilisizlik. Bir kafa yoksulluğudur bu. Okumasını öğrenmiş ama yaşamadığının farkına varamamışların, bir insanın birçok yaşamı yan yana sürdürebileceğini usu almayacaklarının yoksulluğudur bu...”

“Gazing around, looking up at the lofty pinnacles above, which seemed to pierce the sky, looking down upon the world,--it seemed the whole world, so limitless it stretched away at her feet,--feeling that infinite unspeakable sense of nearness to Heaven, remoteness from earth which comes only on mountain heights, she drew in a long breath of delight, and cried: "At last! at last, Alessandro! Here we are safe! This is freedom! This is joy!”

“Gazing at the bygone past, and how it painted the sky of our souls, leaving behind the color of every moment, that passed us by. Isn't it wonderful? You now know, nothing ever was truly gone. The sky holds it all.
The feelings you once felt in all those yesterdays, they tell their own tales. You realize, what you once created in love with others, never really left you behind.
…...Jayita Bhattacharjee”
“Gazing at the lake’s surface,
a heron’s wings stir quiet waves..
Splintered stars tremble below,
while the sky, unbroken above,
holds its still and endless expanse.”
“Gazing at the typewriter in moments of desperation I console myself with three thoughts. Alcohol at six, dinner at eight, and to be immortal you've got to be dead.”
“Gazing at the world, let us question ourselves: Are we seeing the world or coloring it with our thoughts about it? Are we weaving a spin of it inside our heads, or are we gazing with a cloud-free mind? From such questioning begins our self-inquiry, and the emergence of an objective observer, an unbiased thinker.”
“Gazing back at the water, I felt the urge to do it all over again, to go back and exist in those crystalline seconds of intense cold. My blood sparkled in my veins. I was certain that I could conquer it a second time around, could tolerate a little longer in that frozen claw. “That was brilliant,” I gasped.”

“Gazing into the heavens on a starry night a person sees the reflection of their own soul staring back at them. Perceiving our microscopic place in the revolving cosmos, we search to ascertain a meaning for our existence; we stretch our minds to comprehend a reason that justifies our fleeting journey in a universe composed of dark energy. Comprehension of a full-bodied meaning for living seems to lie just beyond my grasp. Perhaps I struggle dialing into a meaning for life because living entails adapting to a constant state of chaos. Can I harmonize the noisy commotion and distracting clutter in my life? I need to overcome personal inertia by learning to become comfortable with these changing times. In actuality, I have no choice but to capitulate to the evolution of facets in the world. Everything in the universe is undergoing constant change. Alike all humankind, I am also in the process of evolving. Who I was will undoubtedly affect who I will become. Who I am now is not who I will always be. The demands imposed upon us by the exterior world prevent stagnation of our interior world. We must all respond to change by either growing or dying. Even a blockhead such as me proves alterable, because inherent mutability ensures the survival of all persons. The entire world is interconnected; we are part of the cosmic consciousness. Many factors beyond our direct control influence us.”

“Gazing out from the mountains, the clouds are whiter, the sky is bluer, the air seeping into your lungs is as clear as the water roaring down from the snow, melting on the high peaks. A place where heaven is a little closer.”
“Gazing out of the window, the gravel path roared as it was crushed into submission under the wheels of the car that was taking me towards a menacing looking medieval castle with two huge and terrifying turrets that seemingly reached out towards me. I imagined that I was the gravel and the wheels of the car were the social care system.”

Sweetheart, the point is, you are blessed 24/7, rain or shine. Super blessed. Like, ridiculously so. In fact we’re all so special, with unique talents & gifts. But the real question is: are we using our awesomeness & blessedness in the real sense? Are you living each day allowing yourself to reach higher, dig deeper, expand beyond the ordinary?

“Gdmng everyone! Welcome to another dose of “Level Up Your Life”! Today’s topic might sting a bit, but hear me out – we’re talking about responsibility… Or rather, the lack thereof.
You know, that cozy little place called “I don’t care” land. It’s comfy, familiar, maybe even fun… for a while. But let’s be honest, it’s a dead end. Nevertheless, maybe you like that?
Maybe being irresponsible, unreliable & thoughtless is your thing. If that’s the case, well…more power to you.. You can keep on – keep on, blaming the world for your problems. You think, life loves rewarding people who play the victim, right?
Of course not! Sweetheart, life rewards those who take responsibility. Those who show up, who follow through, who build a life they can be proud of.
Is it easy? Absolutely not. But guess what? It’s worth it. Don’t Wait for life to slap you in the face. Take responsibility for your actions, words & start building something beautiful & better..
Darling listen – the universe has a funny way of giving you exactly what you ask for. It gives us what we ask for. Just like it responded to your irresponsible thoughts & choices, trust me – it will respond tenfold to your responsible behavior.
Remember, responsibility isn’t a burden, it’s your superpower.
So ditch the excuses & step up! Your world is waiting to see that responsible YOU & guess what? You’re totally capable of it.
Stay Responsible & Blessed!”
“Gdmng, friends! As part of my mission to keep you present & mindful everyday, today’s reminder hits close to home: Don’t Leave Anything For LATER.
We’ve all been there. You say, “I’ll do it later” & suddenly, later turns into never. Later, the coffee gets cold. Later, the day turns into night. Later, weeks turn into months (Wait, it’s already June). Later, you realize you never got around to it. Later, you might find yourself filled with regret (Wishing you’d taken that chance)
Darling listen – Later, you might simply run out of “LATERS”. The chance is in your hands. Take action today & watch your “Laters” transform into amazing “DONES”…!
Sweetheart, the point is, don’t wait! Remember, you had the chance & you still do! Take a moment today to think about something you’ve been putting off & make it happen!
Here’s to a fantastic June filled with action, not “laters”! I wish & hope that you grab life by the horns & make it a day to remember. Happy New Month! Blessings!”
