After The Rain

“How old are you?"
"Ten," answered Tangle.
"You don't look like it," said the lady.
"How old are you, please?" returned Tangle.
"Thousands of years old," answered the lady.
"You don't look like it," said Tangle.
"Don't I? I think I do. Don't you see how beautiful I am!”

“Mockingbirds don’t do one thing but make music for us to enjoy.

They don’t eat up people’s gardens, don’t nest in corncribs,

they don’t do one thing but sing their hearts out for us.

That’s why it’s a sin to kill a mockingbird.”
― Harper Lee, To Kill a Mockingbird

Spoonful of Petals

“True happiness is to enjoy the present, without anxious dependence upon the future, 

not to amuse ourselves with either hopes or fears but to rest satisfied with what we have, which is sufficient, for he that is so wants nothing. 

The greatest blessings of mankind are within us and within our reach. A wise man is content with his lot, whatever it may be, 

without wishing for what he has not.”
― Seneca

The Builders

 "The feeling we experience while we look at a picture is not to be distinguished from the picture or from ourselves.  The feeling, picture, and ourselves are united in one mystery."

The Forgotten

La Romita began as a pre Hispanic village that remained independent until the establishment of Roma neighborhood and has remained semi-independent since. In the pre Hispanic period, the area was a small island called Aztacalco located near the Aztec capital of Tenochtitlan surrounded by the shallow waters of Lake Texcoco. The name means “in the house of herons.” After the Spanish conquered Tenochtitlan, renaming it Mexico City, Aztacalco was one of the areas that the indigenous were permitted to continue living.

During the colonial period the village continued to be independent although its status as an island disappeared along with the waters of the lake. By the mid 18th century, a road connecting Mexico City and Chapultepec passed nearby and due to its many trees was named La Romita as it resembled an avenue in Rome, Italy. The village began to be called Romita as well with this name appearing in written records in 1752.
