Hudson rail tunnel gets boost from Congressional spending bill

penneyvanderbilt's avatarPenneyVanderbilt

There is new hope Thursday for the Gateway Project to build a much-needed additional rail tunnel underneath the Hudson River to be used by both Amtrak and New Jersey Transit along the Northeast Corridor, the nation’s busiest.

As part of a new spending package to keep the government running past Friday, Congressional lawmakers have agreed to more than half a billion dollars for the project.

President Donald Trump has opposed the new tunnel that supporters say are desperately needed to to keep train running amid an aging infrastructure, in part because it is a top priority of Senate Minority Leader Senator Charles Schumer.

“People in New York are very happy with the results we achieved,” Schumer said Thursday.

“You are my ocean”

johncoyote's avatarjohncoyote

You are my ocean


My first love was the sea. Uncontrolled and free.
I danced with her, as a child. I fell into her waves and I felt the
safety of her power and strength.
Today by the Pacific. I traced your sun-kissed skin my love.
I fell into your blue eyes, wild and free. Made me find old places,
where I was once wild and free. You stirred up old dreams and we dance
for midnight moon.

You are my ocean and last sweet dream.
Coyote/John Castellenas

For Equilibrium, A Blessing

A kind gesture can reach a wound that only compassion can heal.

Reflect upon your present blessings — of which every man has many — not on your past misfortunes, of which all men have some.

*****

For Equilibrium, a Blessing:

Like the joy of the sea coming home to shore,
May the relief of laughter rinse through your soul.

As the wind loves to call things to dance,
May your gravity by lightened by grace.

Like the dignity of moonlight restoring the earth,
May your thoughts incline with reverence and respect.

As water takes whatever shape it is in,
So free may you be about who you become.

As silence smiles on the other side of what’s said,
May your sense of irony bring perspective.

As time remains free of all that it frames,
May…

SELF-FULFILLMENT

Cheche Winnie's avatarCheche Winnie

Do you express your creative side?
Are you doing enough and satisfied with your accomplishments?
What are the most important things in your life?
How do you fulfill them?
Are head the right direction and serving your purpose?
What priority have you given your self-fulfillment?
Are you able to enjoy fulfillment solely by yourself or do you need some help from other people?
Do you consider fulfillment idealistic/unrealistic/truly attainable?
Are you able to get self-fulfillment?
Are you looking happine in wrong or right places?"Just as light brightens darkness, discovering inner fulfillment can eliminate any disorder or discomfort." D. Chopra

For numerous young peoples, their worldview of their place in it, was altered on Valentines Day in the USA, the 14th of February 2018. This was the day a young mass shooter under 21 years of age, took his legally purchased AR15 into Marjory Stoneman High School in the idyllic southern Florida town of Parkland, where he proceeded to fatally gun down 17 victims in a little over six minutes.

This was a typical sprawling Florida high school of several buildings with over 3000 students. After the kids had spent their day by exchanging Valentine Day cards and other activities, they were ready to call it a day. As a fire alarm bell rang, the chaos began.

FOUND TONIGHT

HamilDrop: Ben Platt & Lin Manuel Miranda Mashup “Found Tonight”

FOR THE KIDS

Found Tonight with Lin Manuel Miranda and Ben Platt and all of Troupe 10036

I’m an ardent fan.

Lin-Manuel Miranda is an amazing talent.

His Puerto Rican roots make it even more significant for me.

He has shown immense interest in social causes.

Benjamin Schiff Platt (born September 24, 1993) is an American actor and singer known for originating the role of the title character in the Broadway musical Dear Evan Hansen, a performance for which he has won numerous awards.

Here you have two amazing talents joined for a common cause for the future of the children of this nation.

EmHer

~SIX MINUTES, TWENTY SECONDS OF SILENCE~

Emma González, the fiercely outspoken teen who stunned America with her silence

CNN

By Nicole Chavez and Saeed Ahmed

She strode on stage at the March for Our Lives rally in Washington over the weekend, and listed the names of the 17 students and staff gunned down at her high school in Parkland, Florida. And then she went silent.
Minutes ticked by. One. Two. Three. Four.
It was a visceral moment – one that an analyst called:

“the loudest silence in the history of US social protest.”

It was the 18-year-old’s way of showing the world how it felt to crouch in a school room for 6 minutes and 20 seconds while a murderer carried out his shooting spree.
