“el único que sufrió una muerte violenta fue Nicolai Ceausescu. No debería pasarse por alto que su muerte fue en gran medida precipitada por la juventud de Rumanía, gran parte de la cual, de no ser por la prohibición del aborto, nunca habría llegado a nacer.”

“Together let us hold the intention that all aspects of this living planet come together in love, acceptance, and celebration of both our diversities and commonalities. Let us possess the common purpose that we heal from our hearts into compassion and forgiveness for ourselves. Together let us own the belief that we will no longer unite with blame and judgement, but come to accept that we all carry the same wounds. In acknowledging this, the hope is for the whole planet in its jubilant diversity to be healed from any and all woundings so that we come together on equal footing, living in peace and joy and setting the tone for a future of harmony within and on this planet.
Peace to all and healing to all.”
― Wendy E. Slater, Of the Flame, Poems - Volume 15
