The Magic of the Cities.

Zen promotes the rediscovery of the obvious, which is so often lost in its familiarity and simplicity. It sees the miraculous in the common and magic in our everyday surroundings. When we are not rushed, and our minds are unclouded by conceptualizations, a veil will sometimes drop, introducing the viewer to a world unseen since childhood. ~ John Greer

 “Laughing at ourselves is possible when we are able to see humanity as it is,
    - a little lower than the angels and at times only slightly higher than the apes

In the Art of Dreaming Don Juan tells Carlos,
"… most of our energy goes into upholding our importance…
If we were capable of losing some of that importance, two extraordinary things would happen to us. 
One, we would free our energy from trying to maintain the illusory idea of our grandeur; and two
we would provide ourselves with enough energy to ...
Catch a glimpse of the actual grandeur of the Universe."
Carlos Castaneda

Caminata


Who am I? Who are you? We have a singular quest to better ourselves
—to evolve, to move forward, to improve upon all that can be improved.
To make it better.
My message is about the possibility of the ultimate betterment of a human being
—not of mankind, not of a country, not of a social belief,
but of a human being.
And it is not through religion or doctrine, not through ideas or concepts.
Neither is it through hearsay or repetition.
It is through each individual exploring and finding the beauty
within themselves.
 —Prem Rawat

Holy Procession










 Procession of the Holy Family Parish, which is located in the Colonia Roma (where I live), neighborhood of Mexico City just west of the city’s Historic Center. The colonia’s height as an “aristocratic” and “European” enclave was from its founding in the 1900s until about the 1940s. Older mansions began to give way to modern commercial buildings in the 1960s and 1970s as the deterioration became more serious. Since then, there have been efforts to conserve the area’s architectural heritage and regain some of its former prestige with some success.

Its original wide streets, boulevards and small parks filled with trees remain. It is still home to about 1,100 mansions and other architecturally and historically important structures, mostly built between 1906 and 1939. Most of these are no longer residences but rather offices, cultural centers and other businesses. examples of these adaptations include the Casa Lamm Cultural Center, the Casa Universitaria del Libro, the main building of the Universidad de Londres and the various art galleries which are mostly found on Colima Street.

The colonia has revived somewhat as a Bohemian area with restaurants, art galleries, offices and more. Today, the area attracts younger generations of artists, writers and urban hipsters, with rents rising once again.  [Wiki]
