I die and whilst I sigh,
one of my laments darts and flies into the air
to be transformed into the soul of a heart
that also sighs and dies.

When from her heart the sigh of life
flies towards mine, and the heart no longer deprived,
lives and by living is enlivened,
Life and death, be welcome!
He knows no joy
who knows not how to live and die like this.

Zambales, Philippines has reached 53 celsius. This heatwave is serious.

I'm having heat cramps and exhaustion here in Iloilo. It's midnight and I'm sweating.

    I noticed some fresh shoots on roses this morning too - here in the East Midland, UK. I thought it seemed a bit early

    Universities' failure to recognise an ecological truth

    'Humanism ... privileged ‘us’ over the non-human / the more-than-human. ... This privileging has now come home to roost: ... we have been sawing off the ecological branch on which we live.'
