October 2024 – Message for THANKSGIVING Day
Today (October 14’24) in
Canada we celebrate a new Thanksgiving Day, occasion which allows me to
send along another bunch of heartfelt wishes to all my dear friends (old
& new, closer or more distant), collaborators (occasional or
recurrent) and at large sympathizers of ALICE &
Friends Circle™ for their ongoing support throughout the almost 7 (seven) years
of existence of our literary and socio-cultural group!
I always enjoy working with thoughtful and positive people! Please continue
stay close, to be compassionate, to be wise, to lend a hand, because in the end
I believe that we all will be blessed with the splendid joy that only kindness
brings along...that special Joy which is so uplifting and refreshing for our
souls.
Nay we continue to enjoy each other's presence, while attending our Circle's events!

The Beauty of Love & Trust
STORY: Hold My Hand
Once
upon a time, a little girl and her father were crossing a tall bridge. Father was kind of scared so he asked his little daughter, "Sweetheart,
please hold my hand so that you don't fall into the river."
The
little girl said, "No, Dad. You hold my hand."
"What's
the difference?" asked the puzzled father.
"There's
a big difference," replied the little girl…"If I hold your hand & something happens to me, chances are that I may let your hand go, but if you
hold my hand, I know for sure that no matter what, you will never let
my hand go."
The best proof of love is
trust!

”Şi totuşi, vine toamna... Şi tu
o simţi şi o îngâni... Şi totuşi, vine toamna... Şi vai, suntem
bătrâni! ”

Păunescu; interpretare Tatiana Stepa)

● Short scientific briefing on AUTUMNAL EQUINOX:
The Autumnal Equinox is an astronomical event, nearly
noticed by everyone, marking the arrival of fall in Northern
Hemisphere. During the equinox, the night & day have almost the same
length (12 hours) throughout the
world. The word "equinox" derives from Latin, meaning “equal
night". The equinox happens when the equator passes the centre of the sun.
This is when the North & South Poles of the Earth are not tilted towards or
away from the sun, as at other times, but are aligned so as to give,
theoretically, the same amount of daylight in both of the Earth's hemispheres.
