« Le plus beau sentiment du monde, c’est le sens du mystère. Celui qui n’a jamais connu cette émotion, ses yeux sont fermés. » ~ Albert Einstein  
[ The best feeling in the world, it is the sense of mystery. He who has never experienced this emotion, his eyes are closed. ]

Mannahata! - II

Poetry of Mannahata!

The name Manhattan derives from the word Manna-hata, as written in the 1609 logbook of Robert Juet, an officer on Henry Hudson's yacht Halve Maen (Half Moon). A 1610 map depicts the name as Manna-hata, twice, on both the west and east sides of the Mauritius River (later named the Hudson River). The word "Manhattan" has been translated as "island of many hills" from the Lenape language.

Waves of Love

From Carlos Castaneda's Journey to Ixtlan

People tell us from the time we are born that the world is such and such

and so and so, and naturally we have no choice but to see the world

the way people have been telling us it is.

Seeing happens only when one sneaks between the worlds;

The world of ordinary people and The world of sorcerers.

The real thing is when the body realizes that it can see.

Only then is one capable of knowing that the world we look at every day

is only a description.

My intent has been to show you that.

Only as a warrior can one survive the path of knowledge,

Because the art of a warrior

is to balance, the terror of being a man with the wonder of being a man.

The IAC Building by Frank Gehry

Frank Gehry, is a Canadian American Pritzker Prize-winning architect based in Los Angeles, California.

His buildings, including his private residence, have become tourist attractions. His works are often cited as being among the most important works of contemporary architecture in the 2010 World Architecture Survey, which led Vanity Fair to label him as "the most important architect of our age".

“Architecture should speak of its time and place, but yearn for timelessness.”

~Frank Gehry

Horizon

Cancun (from Women Island) Mx.

Caribbean Sea (from one of Cancun beaches)

Horizon

To cross the horizon grown old

And watch at the bottom of dreams

The fluttering star

You were so lovely

you could not speak

I moved away

But carry in my hand

That native sky

And its wasted sun

This afternoon

in a café

I have drunk

A liquor trembling

Like a red fish

And once again in the glass hidden

That filial dream

You were so lovely

you could not speak

Something was dying in your chest

Your eyes were green

but I was moving away

You were so lovely

I learnt how to sing.

Horizonte

Pasar el horizonte envejecido
Y mirar en el fondo de los sueños
La estrella que palpita


Eras tan hermosa
que no pudiste hablar
Y me alejé
Pero llevo en la mano
Aquel cielo nativo
Con un sol gastado


Esta tarde
en un café
he bebido
un licor tembloroso
Como un pescado rojo


Y otra vez en el vaso escondido
Ese sueño filial
Eras tan hermosa
que no pudiste hablar
En tu pecho algo agonizaba
Eran verdes tus ojos
pero yo me alejaba


Eras tan hermosa
que aprendí a cantar.

～Vicente Huidobro

Xochimilco

Xochimilco is better known for its extended series of canals — all that remains of the ancient Lake Xochimilco. Xochimilco has kept its ancient traditions, even though its proximity to Mexico City influence that area to urbanize. Movies like Maria Candelaria (1940), have given that area a romantic reputation where all inhabitants travel in colourful trajineras (Xochimilco boats) between chinampas covered with flowers. Today, agriculture is an important but minor activity -- the canals represent only a small fraction of their former extent. Chinamperia (chinampa-related activities) was declared a World Heritage site by UNESCO in 1987. From Wiki.
