La Casa nel ~Mare~Running away from slavery

Today my very little nephew who is about 4 months old (!!!) has started smiling continuously as she saw colors. She started being interested in my orange-based but very colored t-shirt and then in my blue bag. She was very happy, smiling and moving her liiiiittttttle feet ^__^ Then she was trying to understand what was depicted on the colored non-sense picture on my t-shirt she was very concentrated while looking at it.

I think that this is wonderful! (being so impressed by colors). This make me thinks about the “Rainbow Warrior” and the “Arctic Sunrise” which are two ships working for Greenpeace to protect the sea from illegal fishers and to investigate the arctic dissolution (NEVER FORGET THE COPENAGHEN COUNTDOWN), respectively. Both of them have rainbow colors and the light of the sun as symbols of nature and goodness.
This make me thinks also about the modern design style which consists in whole houses having walls and tables and sofas and kitchens, etc… ALL black and white. maybe gray, but nothing else. Black and White and Gray. Such as all the elegant dresses. Because what is modern and considered cool and loved by either rich and people is far from the key concept of nature, delightful and happiness.

Grace Hopper invented the compilator, the linking loader, the COBOL language and lots of other things, but NO-ONE has ever spoken about her to us at my Computer Science courses at the University of Bari! Although we also have a woman for president at my University…

This song is fantastic and I didn’t know it before..I’ve never seen the Pocahontas movie..blame on me XD

You think I’m an ignorant savage
And you’ve been so many places
I guess it must be so
But still I cannot see
If the savage one is me
How can there be so much that you don’t know?
You don’t know …

You think you own whatever land you land on
The Earth is just a dead thing you can claim
But I know every rock and tree and creature
Has a life, has a spirit, has a name

You think the only people who are people
Are the people who look and think like you
But if you walk the footsteps of a stranger
You’ll learn things you never knew you never knew

Have you ever heard the wolf cry to the blue corn moon
Or asked the grinning bobcat why he grinned?
Can you sing with all the voices of the mountains?
Can you paint with all the colors of the wind?
Can you paint with all the colors of the wind?

Come run the hidden pine trails of the forest
Come taste the sunsweet berries of the Earth
Come roll in all the riches all around you
And for once, never wonder what they’re worth

The rainstorm and the river are my brothers
The heron and the otter are my friends
And we are all connected to each other
In a circle, in a hoop that never ends

How high will the sycamore grow?
If you cut it down, then you’ll never know
And you’ll never hear the wolf cry to the blue corn moon

For whether we are white or copper skinned
We need to sing with all the voices of the mountains
We need to paint with all the colors of the wind

You can own the Earth and still
All you’ll own is Earth until
You can paint with all the colors of the wind
