"Oh, Mrs. Dalloway... Always giving parties to cover the silence"

"Clarissa Vaughn: All right Richard, do me one simple favor. Come. Come sit.
Richard Brown: I don't think I can make it to the party, Clarissa.
Clarissa Vaughn: You don't have to go to the party, you don't have to go to the ceremony, you don't have to do anything you don't want to do. You can do as you like.
Richard Brown: But I still have to face the hours, don't I? I mean, the hours after the party, and the hours after that...
Clarissa Vaughn: You do have good days still. You know you do.
Richard Brown: Not really. I mean, it's kind of you to say so, but it's not really true."

Eu ainda tenho que encarar as horas, agora, disfarce da distância de outrora.

Free Tibet

Amigos,

a pedido do SFT, aproveito este espaço para divulgar mais um site de apoio à causa tibetana.

http://www.athletewanted.org/

Amigos,

mais uma sugestão de leitura:

http://tibetanuprising.org/

Caros amigos, àqueles que se interessam pela causa dos direitos humanos e apoio ao Tibet, peço que assinem. Não chega a levar 5 minutos:

"Avaaz is one of the most important NGOs in the world, they have helped us in various ocassions during urgent actions etc. This time they are also with us. I am hereby sending you a link wherein you can sign a petition in order to support the Dalai Lama and help Tibetans inside Tibet. Please, pass the link on to every one you know, please show your support for Tibet. We can't leave them alone, not again!http://www.avaaz.org/en/tibet_end_the_violence/98.php/?cl_tf_sign=1

Recebi isso hoje do SFT - Students for a free Tibet.

Conto com vocês.

Amigos,
àqueles que, como eu, procuram entender melhor o que está se passando no Tibet hoje, recomendo a leitura de um pequeno artigo publicado no Independent.
http://www.independent.co.uk/opinion/commentators/tsering-topgyal-our-struggle-will-go-on-despite-the-crackdown-796808.html
O autor é um tibetano que estuda o conflito na London School of Economics.
O mesmo artigo foi parcialmente publicado hoje, dia 18, n'O Globo, p. 26.
Há também uma interessante entrevista na Folha online:
