I'll show you
That all our fates are so entwined
Don't lose your faith in humankind
Just don't forget my state of mind
Is fragile
Together
We can enjoy the taste of dignity
As long as you believe in me
I'll show you my reality
I've seen a few

The Dust Bowl was the result of a period of severe dust storms that greatly damaged the ecology and agriculture of the American and Canadian prairies during the 1930s. The phenomenon was caused by a combination of natural factors (severe drought) and man-made factors: a failure to apply dryland farming methods to prevent wind erosion, most notably the destruction of the natural topsoil by settlers in the region. The drought came in three waves: 1934, 1936, and 1939–1940, but some regions of the High Plains experienced drought conditions for as long as eight years.
The Dust Bowl has been the subject of many cultural works, including John Steinbeck's 1939 novel The Grapes of Wrath, the folk music of Woody Guthrie, and Dorothea Lange's photographs depicting the conditions of migrants, particularly Migrant Mother, taken in 1936.

*Working Towards a Better World
Our shame, today 10,000 refugees are currently stranded in Idomeni - caught in limbo between Greece and Macedonia because of unilateral border closures. They need our help desperately, they are all human beings, men, women and children, all made of flesh and blood, with feelings and hope, yet at the moment no help and very little hope! We, the world, must come together to help them it is our duty they are all part of the human race to which we belong, surely we are not going to turn our backs on our own?
Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! xo💜💜
...using .... as a weapon and means of political pressure is one of the most perverse ideas of mankind.

*Working Towards a Better World
All the refugees are human beings, men, women, children, husbands, wives, fathers, mothers if we put our minds together we can make room for everyone in our world. It is time to live in peace and harmony. They desperately need our help and it is our duty to help them.
Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! xo💜💜 💕💕💕
(CNN)Bostonians this week were met with a stark reminder of the growing refugee crisis as they crossed over Congress Street Bridge and caught site of the city's latest art installation. Twenty-two figurines can be seen clinging to inner tubes floating below in Fort Point Channel Basin. Each of them represents a daunting number.
"Each figure is representative of 1 million refugees worldwide," said Emily O'Neil, spokesperson for Fort Point Arts Community, the organization that commissioned the installation.

The Canadian 2nd Infantry Division liberated the several hunderd inhabitants that were still there on 12 April, 1945. The first soldiers to the camp were from the 8th Reconnaissance Regiment, followed by troops of the South Saskatchewan Regiment.
Following its use in World War II, the Westerbork camp was first used as a penalty camp for alleged and acussed Nazi collaborators and later housed Dutch nationals who fled the former Dutch East Indies (Indonesia). Between 1950-1970 the camp was renamed to Kamp Schattenberg and used to house refugees from the Maluku Islands.

"Después de que el capitán Morris de los 'Canadian Scotts' se hubiese reunido con Van As, el canadiense se dirigió a los prisioneros liberados. El texto lo había escrito en estilo telegrama en un papel, era una combinación de inglés y medio holandés. Debido a ello, y como consecuencia de la prisa en que lo había escrito, el texto es ahora difícil de leer y poco descifrable.
Según algunos testigos, a pesar de la gravedad de las noticias -'war it's not over yet' (la guerra aún no ha terminado)- fue algo realmente cómico".

Earth Presses against Us
By Mahmoud Darwish
Earth is pressing against us, trapping us in the final passage.
To pass through, we pull off our limbs.
Earth is squeezing us. If only we were its wheat, we might die and yet live.
If only it were our mother so that she might temper us with mercy.
If only we were pictures of rocks held in our dreams like mirrors.
We glimpse faces in their final battle for the soul, of those who will be killed
by the last living among us. We mourn their children’s feast.
We saw the faces of those who would throw our children out of the windows
of this last space. A star to burnish our mirrors.
Where should we go after the last border? Where should birds fly after the
last sky?
Where should plants sleep after the last breath of air?
We write our names with crimson mist!
We end the hymn with our flesh.
Here we will die. Here, in the final passage.
Here or there, our blood will plant olive trees.

There isn't a refugee crisis in Europe. There's a humanity crisis.

Photo taken from an old BBC movie clip. French lady, war refugee in an Abbaye in Caen, July 1944. She seems to have lost a lot. Just like millions of refugee, stll happening so many years later. We never learn.
The man who appears soldering in this image is a Syrian discus champion !!! He dreamed of the Rio Olympics and had the level to go to ... Instead he ended up in a Refugee camp in Northern Greece, with no rights or freedom ... The continuous solidarity of the people who have flocked to these refugee camps have made possible some small miracles. One of them was building a gym for all ... Qusai started soldering an iron, then another, then another ... And he got it.

Little knitted woollen dolls at the bottom of a knitted banner asking for a "Fair Go For Refugees".
Seen at Hobart's Elizabeth Mall, where a bunch of mums and grandmas were asking for signatures of support against the detainment of refugees on Manos Island by the Australian Government.
A little refugee appeared on the doorstep. Must have got caught in the rain. He made a bee-line for a more comfortable spot :-)
