If you enjoy living,
it is not difficult to keep the sense of wonder.
"Stuff your
eyes with wonder,' he said, 'live as if you'd drop dead in ten seconds."
- Ray Bradbury

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

Autumn
“That country where
it is always turning late in the year. That country where the hills are fog and
the rivers are mist; where noons go quickly, dusks and twilights linger, and
midnights stay. That country composed in the main of cellars, sub-cellars, coal-bins,
closets, attics, and pantries faced away from the sun. That country whose
people are autumn people, thinking only autumn thoughts. Whose people passing
at night on the empty walks sound like rain.”

“The
only way of discovering the limits of the possible is to venture a little way
past them into the impossible.”

Volcanoes
"Popocatépetl and
Iztaccíhuatl" the volcanoes Popocatépetl ("the
Smoking Mountain") and Iztaccíhuatl ("white
woman" in Nahuatl, sometimes called the Mujer Dormida "Sleeping Woman"
in Spanish) which overlook the Valley of
Mexico. The most common variety relates the Nahua romance of the princess Iztaccíhuatl
and the warrior Popocatépetl.
This tale is recorded in several different versions.
Popocatépetl is an active volcano located
in Central
Mexico, and lies in the eastern half of the Trans-Mexican volcanic belt. At
5,426 m (17,802 ft) it is the second highest peak in
Mexico. It is linked to the Iztaccihuatl volcano
to the north by the high saddle known
as the Paso de Cortés.
Popocatepetl is 70 km (43 mi)
southeast of Mexico City, from where it can be seen
regularly, depending on atmospheric conditions.
On July 4, 2013, due to
several eruptions of steam and ash for at least 24 hours, at least six U.S.
airlines canceled more than 40 flights into and out of Mexico City and Toluca
airports that day. [Wiki]
