Grimace Federation - Be Kind To Animals

[willywaldo]

Utopia sounds so good. Sweep away what is and build in its place a more perfect society. Like millions before them, John and Diane were looking for a better world; that search quickly grew complicated, as it always does. They got caught in the crash between their dreams and hard reality. It's an old story, played out across time, in virtually every revolution and millenarian movement, when human lives are treated as mere expedients on the journey to a new world. Yes, John and Diane were victims of Auroville's revolution. They were also victims of the search for perfection.--Akash Kapur, Better To Have Gone: Love, Death, and the Quest for Utopia in Auroville.

What is YouthLink?!

YouthLink connects people. Human unity means in a very basic sense: one individual connecting to another individual. Youth from a certain age and especially young adults have a natural inclination to go into the world and meet new people, make new friends and learn from others. It is often this age where lifelong friendships get established. And you need occasions where you can meet new people. YouthLink is providing these occasions on many levels. 

We organised a big Treasure Hunt for more than 170 children from Auroville and the surrounding villages. We set up gatherings for all Auroville volunteers from around the world, Karaoke evenings, specific language classes to learn about other cultures (Tamil and French). We engage to make Auroville more safe by doing research and awareness campaigns about sexual harassment, about road safety, about first aid and first responders, about sustainable mobility. We bring people together across generations on Blind Babble Dates (an interaction game we invented) or with our Tech Elves service, where young people support older people to set up their smartphone or computer. 

And we are a self organised team of young adults who cooperate to set up all these events, plan them, develop posters and announcements, get people involved, do the logistics and facilitate. At the same time we strive to establish  a non-profit unit compliant with rules and regulations, do correct accounting and administration, doing yearly and quarterly plans and follow them up. And managing a fast changing team, where we have to decide which volunteers to take, how to integrate them in the team and get them productive in a few weeks before they will leave again. And we change coordinator roles, try new decision structures, look for new learning challenges. How many responsibilities do I want to take on, how many necessary activities can I do and still keep up my motivation? How committed for how long can I be and how to balance it with having fun at work? How to deal with inner and outer conflicts? Where are my leadership talents and what are my weaknesses to cope with? 

So far we are doing great. Our team is growing, the number of monthly events is increasing, team members and volunteers are enjoying working together, more volunteers want to work with us and more organisations want to cooperate. And since we are a non-profit organisation we need your help!

Auroville - yes, it is real!

Auroville – yes, it is real!

When I switched on my laptop the other day, the Bing photo caught my eye and piqued my curiosity. What was this incredible looking round gold building? Where was it? Was it real? The photo was an aerial view similar to the one below I quickly discovered that it was real. The photo was of an experimental town in India called Auroville and that glorious golden spherical building was The…

I’m terrified I’m becoming exactly like you

not because I love you any less

but because I’ve spent months untangling you from my skin

to just realise you seeped through

long before I knew

I feel every bit of myself

and every bit of you

and I never truly knew they could ever coincide

but they do

oh my god they do

how can we be the same person split in two

these days I feel really lost

much more than ever before

i don’t quite know what it is means to be found anymore

but sometimes when I sit in mud it feels like home

and everything in my life feels constantly on a burner

i tasted the weeds and I preferred the flowers

no amount of substance could possibly make me forget I’m this lost

and I don’t quite know

what’s poetry

and what’s words blabbered anymore

if you’re my northern star,

you’ve been gone for too long

because now I ask the moon

and when the skies grow dark and the moon tucks itself in bed

i again feel all alone

i can guide the forests

i can lead the seas

but I don’t quite know

how to get out of my own hell hole

without you

I’ve become part me part you part us

I’ve become the bluest version of blue

Pondichéry ou le rivage des ombres

Pour son premier roman pour adultes, Anne Vantal a laissé courir sa plume pour raconter Pondichéry à travers trois périodes, les années 1930, 1950 et en 2012 à travers trois portraits de femmes, ceux d'Alice, Oriane et Céline.

  En deux mots Alice débarque à Pondichéry en 1930 pour y rejoindre Jules, son mari médecin qui dirige la léproserie. Elle va aussi devoir négliger son don pour le piano. Oriane revient dans la ville où elle est née pour un séjour au sein d’une association humanitaire. Mais très vite sa quête des origines va la pousser à prolonger son séjour. Enfin, c’est en 2012 que Céline arrive dans…

Le miracle

5 janvier 1984 Chaque fois c’est miraculeux. Je n’ai pas le courage de noter et d’aplatir cette Merveille. D’abord, cette coulée de Nectar dans toutes les veines, les fibres, les cellules – comme un baume merveilleux, un onguent pour toutes les plaies de la Matière. Et ça ruisselait-ruisselait, emplissait les milliers et les millions d’alvéoles du corps d’une Jouvence – il buvait ça comme…
