On Friday, the College of Liberals Arts welcomed the class of 2016 to Temple University at the Freshman Convocation assembly. More than 600 incoming freshmen gathered to hear words of encouragement, advice and wisdom from Dean Teresa Scott Soufas, Vice Dean for Academic Affairs Jayne Drake, and fellow CLA students.
Two outstanding CLA students addressed the freshmen. D’Juan Lyons, a senior majoring in Spanish Linguistics, emphasized the importance of taking advantage of resources and opportunities here at Temple University. He challenged fellow classmates to avoid shortcuts and to go forth on their new journey “wholeheartedly and with full force.” Speaking from experience, political science major Grace Osa-Edoh shared three powerful lessons with CLA freshmen. Grace encouraged her classmates to “take it one step at a time, be ready to adapt to move forward, and ask for help along the way.”
The College of Liberal Arts wishes all of its students continued success. As Vice Dean Jayne Drake said, “enjoy and embrace your time here at Temple University."

The automatic writing project started out as an activity among friends and locals. I would write a line someone else would write a line and so on... Then people would overhear us and ask if they could participate and write something too (which surprised me) of course I said "yes!" At that point I realized that lots of people have something to say. I started asking strangers to add entries, then I graduated to offering people $1.00 to participate, some people do not accept the dollar and some pay me a $1.00 (paying it forward). It's becoming quite a lovely, surprising and compelling project. People from many walks of life are participating: homeless, a news reporter, academics, students, doctors, drug addicts, lawyers, tourists etc... People have written things in my journal that they'd never say out loud, not to anyone. Some of it's so sad, some intriguing, hilarious and so on... At the end of the day, every one of these people understand that their entries are being uploaded to the internet and are comforted in knowing that they will be heard. I have no idea where this is going, but it's going just fine! FYI: English is not everyone's first language here. I will be illustrating the book/journal after the text is done. I hope that everyone who reads these entries learns something about people, mostly that we never know what someone else is going through.

Sitting on this same bench, facing the sea
You saw me knee deep in tears, as if
I was fighting my childhood and my age
And struggling against myself.
You saw me knee deep in tears, as if
I was drowning, again, because of you
And struggling against myself:
Furiously, I reached for the shore.
I was drowning again, because of you:
The salt was burning, reddening the scars.
Furiously, I reached for the shore
Was a live blade under every step I took.
The salt was burning, reddening the scars
Inside your chest. The steady beating drum
Was a live blade: under every step I took
Slowly crushed the coil.
Inside your chest the steady beating drum
Kept beating pace by pace, ignoring me.
Slowly crushed the coil
And every wave was harmful.
Kept beating pace by pace, ignoring me,
The sea, under the darkest autumn sky
And every wave was harmful
Sitting on this same bench, facing the sea.
(Pantoum by SiRiChandra)
This time of year you must in me behold
‘Cause I resemble what the world would be:
The grass begins to grow, and from the cold
The buds begin to sprout on the old tree.
In me, you’ll see the dawning of the day
Breaking the hardest surface of the soil,
Melting the snow and ice, putting away
The saddest colours that the spring would spoil.
In me you feel the glowing of a flame
That burns inside everyone’s life, ablaze.
As a reminder, I will shed my frame
What will remain’s the shadow of a haze.
From now, I’ll speak no more, and you will not forget
An Angel on a tree, his white lean silhouette.
(Sonnet by SiRiChandra)
A skein of ideas, images, views:
So little time to think, so long the day
And winter coming. I knit warmer garments
Hoping for spring, of course; my hands busy
In the manual work, my eyes skipping
From the book to the needles,
From the needles to the yarn.
For there is no difference from meditating:
I immerse myself in the tangle
And avoid the knots.
(Free verse, SiRiChandra)

I am a girl, but if I was a male
Would you love me so much to kiss my lips?
You say the strength of love is a hot gale
That my clothes and my will strokes and rips.
Are you sure you’re a girl? ‘Cause my blond hair
Is much longer that yours; and my slim neck
Is more slender than yours; and I can’t bear
To guess no more. And so, let’s check.
Do you think you may ask me to unveil
My secrets at first meet? I wonder why
You believe there are proofs that cannot fail.
And so, let’s kiss before we say goodbye.
Closed the velvet curtain, they kissed, hidden by shame:
And when their lips were joined, then love could say its name.
(Sonnet by SiRiChandra)

Ilka trifft Will Smith im Hyatt.. Wie eine typische Interview Suite im Hayatt in Berlin aussieht, zeigt uns Ilka in dem kurzen Film "Ilka's Welt" auf www.youtube.com/dosenkino
I am a decentered circle
my weight shifts and shifts
and falls and falls
I am trapped by my instability
weighed down by my weight
How much a star must suffer
No loose ends swim in my waters
I tie them all to my belt
dragging the load of certainly with me
Always upstream
never with the current
that is my path
my determination
my choice
My will is strong
but its content
undetermined
All I have is drive
but I channel it
into empty ravines
Remembrance and regrets
they too are part of venture
Life is too overwhelming
as that a single voice
could ever capture it all
I love you precisely because
you possess a strong commitment
to challenging paradigms of oppression
Float untied
The knot’s a noose
Should I fly
yes I should
I should sore like an eagle
but there is no flight
no reaching up high
without learning to float
Which birds are stupid
enough to fly carelessly
their flight is perilous
but skill carves out
a space for safety
We try to use fewer words, making their meaning
Significant to ourselves, in a clean way.
We talk too much and any time we’re leaning
To sputter words when we have nought to say.
I am a talker, and I love words as sound
I love their taste and colour on my lips
Passing the gates of teeth they will resound
Horses and horsemen on their iron trips.
Sometimes I’m lost, because my words have no
Significance to you: ‘cause I believe
That you would understand the things I know
And what I do not say you will receive.
After a rave of words, when side by side we lie
We brush off broken speeches, the crumbles of today.
