Your Mother's Day

The Mother's Day takes place in May in a lot of countries around the World, so this week we will post some proposals for you to celebrate that day with your mother.

So far, below some poems for Mothering Sunday:

M-O-T-H-E-R (by Howard Johnson)

"M" is for the million things she gave me,

"O" means only that she's growing old,

"T" is for the tears she shed to save me,

"H" is for her heart of purest gold;

"E" is for her eyes, with love-light shining,

"R" means right, and right she'll always be,

Put them all together, they spell "MOTHER,"

A word that means the world to me.

Sonnets are full of love, and this my tome 

(excerpt – by Christina Rossetti)

I love you, Mother, I have woven a wreath

Of rhymes wherewith to crown your honoured name:

In you not fourscore years can dim the flame

Of love, whose blessed glow transcends the laws

Of time and change and mortal life and death.

Centrepiece for the International Jazz Day

To decorate the International Jazz Day this year we chose a Zen style centrepiece, since Osaka is the official Jazz host city 2014 designated by UNESCO, given its legendary history as “Japan’s jazz Meca” in the early to mid 1920s.

Chocolate and Jazz

The dessert that Jazz evokes is a brownie, as both were created in United States at a close time.

Jazz originated in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century in New Orleans and the first brownie receipts are from the same time.

Following, an excerpt of why UNESCO created an international Jazz day:

·   Jazz breaks down barriers and creates opportunities for mutual understanding and tolerance;

·   Jazz is a vector of freedom of expression;

·   Jazz is a symbol of unity and peace;

·   Jazz reduces tensions between individuals, groups, and communities;

·   Jazz fosters gender equality;

·   Jazz reinforces the role youth play for social change;

·   Jazz encourages artistic innovation, improvisation, new forms of expression, and inclusion of traditional music forms into new ones;

·   Jazz stimulates intercultural dialogue and empowers young people from marginalized societies.

  

And of course, following some pictures of our brownie. Enjoy!
