Nature reflects our nature
The Unwritten Poem k | ltlaDa
For inspiration , I try to negate myself In stars and birds outside , For some lines of poetry . The dusty window-glass , And the metropolitan mist , Blur my vision of the outer And I lose the creative urge . I wait , mystified , yet insistent , Until I hear a chilling thud inside , And see the first stream of blood In my toddler ’ s delicate lips . Then I feel the first surge of poetry . Before the poem takes form , The house sneaks into my room : With high arrears , low grades , Lacks , losses , lambasts , … Then a call from parents : Grandma has gone into oblivion , Grandpa has resumed his coughs , The farm waits to be ploughed and planted . I still look out for inspiration , Through the dust and the mist , While the house echoes with calls and demands , And drags and buries me in its insatiable orifice . But I continue to feel the unwritten poems .

Humour Can Connect Different Societies and Environments
Humour is defined as a comic , absurd , or incongruous quality causing amusement . Often when people think of humor , they think of comedy , and that ’ s correct . However , it ’ s only partially correct . Humour is broader than comedy . It is anything that amuses . At Humor That Works , we believe that humour has the power to connect different societies and encourage collaboration in multidisciplinary topics like the environment .
Humour encourages collaboration . Research shows that when you share a laugh with someone , you ’ re mirroring each other ’ s body language , hormonal activity , and neuronal activity . This prompts a mutual investment in each other ’ s well-being . When societies are faced with big problems that require different stakeholders , humour is a great tool to create
