The return of the son Ever since that young man had left Maroabo, he had wanted to return. He could never be as happy as he was in that place. In that town he had lived for more than 18 years with his parents, who had sent him away when he had to go to war. "I go because it is my duty! ...

It was over a month since I started lectures and for the duration of time, I have been running solo with my course registrations. Image is mine I didn't feel the need to run to my Foster father Dr. Silas (not his real name) for anything, despite him being one of my departmental lecturer and the link to which I got admitted into the Uni. The thing is, in my country, if you are not a graduate from government owned universities, your degree is considered less off. Basically, if you are going for a job interview for big shot companies or for the government, preference will first be given to those coming with a degree from Government owned Universities, especially the big names ...

“So now that you have agreed to go to the university. What would you like to study? ” My cousin Smart asked over the phone one faithful evening years ago. “Honestly, I told you people in this family that I would rather focus on learning a handwork or something…” I replied, shrugging ...

A few days ago I saw a deal going on the Facebook Marketplace, and even though I said I wouldn't be buying any more stock, I didn't want to let this one slip by. It arrived yesterday, and today when I got back home, it was the first thing I sought out. I was almost afraid to look inside, in case the postal service wasn't kind to it, while in transit. I didn't snap a picture before removing the bubble wrap, which was my bad, so don't think that the guy sent it like this ...

Today life has given me again a lesson, and it is that everything is ephemeral, everything changes in a single second. One day we are fine and the next day we could not be... Today we say goodbye to our furry friend Firumiau, my brother's cat, that tremendous one that almost a year ago moved to our house and started a war with Doctor Crispin, where they finally ended up being good friends. Hoy la vida me ha dado nuevamente una lección, y es que todo es efímero, todo cambia en un solo segundo ...

En determinados periodos de tiempo los números de distintos componentes biológicos varían según las condiciones de sus hábitats predilectos, por este preciso motivo, algunos de los más susceptibles como pueden ser las muy pintorescas mariposas se hacen más notorias durante ciertas épocas mientras que otras parecieran desaparecer del radar, esto es algo muy variable y depende de muchas cosas, el impacto que hace el humano con los entornos es una de las que más repercusiones trae consigo, alterando los ciclos y la permanencia de muchas de ellas. A su vez, se ha acotado en anteriores entregas que hay lugares en donde ya no se ven con tanta frecuencia o en cantidades que en antaño eran más que evidentes, esto en lo referido a número de mariposas y a la diversidad de las mismas, ¿el motivo? pues, como se mencionó esto depende de muchos aspectos, pero en Venezuela puede atribuirse a la quema constante de basura y áreas verdes que termina por afectar a las comunidades de mariposas y similares (Lepidoptera). La sensibilidad de estos ejemplares los empuja a buscar territorios en buenas condiciones (sanos), ricos en vegetación y con buena disponibilidad de plantas con las que puedan interactuar para dejar descendencia, por ello, estos pintorescos especímenes en todas sus presentaciones suelen ser muy empleadas para evaluar las condiciones ambientales de un determinado lugar, siendo muy útiles en temas investigativos ...

Not yet Dad's role never ends This father's day, our loving angel presented me this, with some lovely quotes, that expressed her gratitude. The boy greeted me in the morning with a hug, but Sara came up with this special greetings, that she must have made in the night. It was a very busy day, as we were preparing for the and the fridge brought a setback. And this special hand crafted token of gift, meant a lot for me to do more for the kids ...

I grew up in a world full of beliefs, my family believed in everything. They had no problem combining Catholic teachings with cults inherited from indigenous and African traditions, in which the most diverse spirits could be invoked for help. For them it was normal to light candles to the Virgin of Carmen or to Cacique Guaicaipuro, a legendary warrior who confronted the Spaniards when they arrived in our territory. My mother was very devoted to Doctor José Gregorio Hernández, a great Venezuelan doctor who died tragically, run over by one of the few automobiles that circulated in the streets of Caracas at the beginning of the 20th century, and to whom was attributed the power to heal people ...

I suppose it's popular — at least in some circles — to reflect on the closing of "periods," be they days, months, quarters, seasons or years. June 20th marks the Summer Solstice, and also the end of spring and the official start of summer. And... it's the longest day of the year ...
