AN RNC / DNC ROUND UP!

Within this writing I provide a summary of my thoughts and views reflected from the DNC and RNC 2020. Please note that they are not a complete analysis of the conventions and only pertain to my own views, but I do hope that they offer a balance between Democratic and Republican views. Thank you to all who spoke at both conventions.

MARY’S SHRINE!

Thank you to the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception for your virtual and online mass services during the Coronavirus health pandemic.

SEVILLA FC!

Congratulations to Spanish Soccor / Football Club – Sevilla FC’s UEFA Europa League Football Championship! To celebrate this win and also the recent reading / writing about American History as related to the Spanish Expeditions I decided to cook Churro’s. A traditional Spanish and Portuguese dessert, which is also a popular American dessert. Congratulations Sevilla FC!

DR. JILL BIDEN.

These thoughts reflect upon the DNC 2020 discussion from Dr. Jill Biden, especially with regards to the personification of nation to family, and family relationships. I contend that just as familial relations are complex, so too are that of nation, which also has many dynamics that need to be considered to imagine, restore, rebuild and re-create visions for nation. Thank you Dr. Jill Biden!

THE SIGNIFICANCE.

These thoughts are a continuation of my previous reflection pertaining to the sadness I felt within the discovery of history, and also the excitement. I take sometime to flesh the sadness to surface, and give importance to this, and also offer hope, so that within the discovery of history, there is still time to learn, conserve, create and re-create a present and a future.

With this simple attempt of provision for hope and human impact.

SUGAR SKULL!

Sugar Skulls are utilized often for the purposes of celebration and commemoration during the Day of the Dead / Dia De Los Muertos.

These images areContinue reading “SUGAR SKULL!”

REFLECTION | UNCOVERED HISTORY.

These thoughts are a continuation from the journey of study of American History. Within these thoughts I offer a reflective tone, that encompasses a sadness of history tied to the Spanish Explorations, and development of settlements that is deeply entrenched within America present day, but feels somewhat on the brink of being diminished, especially through the development of present day politics.
