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
In Robert Heinlein's classic 1951 science fiction novel "The Puppet Masters", a slug-like alien race capable of attaching themselves to human being's spinal cord and controlling their minds secretly invades earth. A shadowy intelligence operation detects the alien menace, and led by the protagonist "Sam" and his partner "Mary" manages to defeat them. One of their biggest challenges after they understood what they were up against was preventing infiltration of "Zone Green", the areas known to be free of puppet masters. One of the measures necessary to defeat the alien menace was "Schedule Suntan", ordering uninfected civilians to wear a bare minimum of clothing (or less) so that the slugs would have no place to hide. Desperate measures for desperate times.

De pronto vi mi cabeza
en el espacio perdida,
sin pensamiento y sin vida
y sin humana impureza.
Sentà profunda extrañeza,
más luego extendà mi lodo
y fui descubriendo el modo
de hacer mi cuerpo infinito.
El polvo al polvo remito,
Dejo de ser y soy todo.
Pita Amor

"Baile en el parque los Sabados", originalmente planeado por el Gobierno de la Ciudad de Mexico, para las personas de la tercera edad, actualmente disfrutan de estos eventos, jovenes y gente de todas las edades, para aprovechar el sabor de bailar al aire libre, tomar lecciones y lucir los ultimos pasos de baile. El gozo del baile en todo su esplendor! Feliz Fin de Semana. Happy Week-End.
Of pre-Hispanic origin, Cuexcomate is the place where the grains keep during the year and avoids that it is contaminated with plagues. Already they are left only a few in Xoyatla, because they have been replaced by inns of metal and plastic. In the foreground a work by Federico Silva call "Orbitales" (Orbitals) located at Borda Gardens in Cuernavaca.

The cathedral, began life as a Franciscan friary, fortress-like complex. The side portal of the church has a fine colonial-Plateresque façade with, above the gable, the symbols of a crown, cross, skull and bones framed by an alfiz.
Detail, for Kate.
The Chapel of the Third Order, at the rear of the monastery building, has a very typical Mexican Baroque façade, embellished with a small figure representing Hernán Cortés. Like the chapel's lovely carved wooden altar (1735), the façade shows strong Indian influence.
The gilded 18th century altarpiece, restored and in beautiful condition, it is one of the few colonial baroque retablos to survive both the neoclassical vogue that swept through many churches in the region during the late 1700s and early 1800s.
In front, The Chapel of St. Jude Thaddeus.
