a link to a moving article remembering Eduardo Galeano, almost a sort of amigo- interlocutor more than a writer-writer for a lot of us from this side of the world :

http://www.counterpunch.org/2015/04/24/galeano-died/


this April two dear friends of mine near Galeano´s age also died, the last of them last friday ... the facts/karma or whatever put me in the position to not be not only eclipsed by sadness or fear this time and be more fully present & help them & their relatives ...

at the beginning of the year also a friend of mine had a psycotic episode helped it seemed thanks to some drugs mix kind of overdose ... one month in a psiquiátrico as a result, really another? world ... a challenge for all those near her to dialogue with that... tomorrow´s her birthday, I hope she can drink it well ...!

Along with simple presence moments I needed also to calm my always thinking mind, two books they helped me through that during these months:

to bare to still be called narcosocialist for the following four years, to be contemporary national standard A or to be contemporary national standard B, is that the question for our dear holy faith tonight? .... :shock: are we in 2015 or what? :arrow: :roll:

yeah, it has passed some time from soltice to equinnox ... :)! )

Already recovered since a month ago from a street accident I had on july 14th: only an inner fracture of a supletory bone -already gone- and a highly smashed left knee that stills protests in days of high humidity and fast movements. I´m also again in sintony somehow with the daily crazy city´s traffic humor (surprisingly that was more difficult than learning to use crutches, baring pain, asking others to do things for me, or deal with stairs...: I really wished during some weeks to be living in a XIX´s century city... :shock: ).

I was in danger situations in the past and reported by other persons (in direct or indirect ways) to "not see me" in those moments. This time, with the old guy that hit me with his car happened the same but with other consecuencias ... :roll: (he gave to me his more factical optical versión about a cone of light and darkness at that moment that avoided he to see me). The guy was in shock more than me: he thought he would encounter me in a blood pond (the car hitted me, I walked upwards with the car still going on, I fell on the front part of the car and then fell on the street with my legs under the car ...). It was almost cinematographic, the sensation was "it can´t be happening" to "damn, it is happening" to simply "it is happening" ... and the funny thing was that there was a gap where I felt there was no place for drama (that came further, obviously... :lol: )

Later, I found out that the guy I insulted after the accident was a survivor of one of the centros de detenidos of the last dictatorship ... it was also an odd momento a week or so after the accident where I felt really bad and angry about the situation... When I told that to a friend she told me "oh, well, the guy hitted you, he drove stupidly and at this moment you are the one with miracously only one leg broken, enough with that story...!.

Well, meanwhile I had enough time to wonder about "what story?" and left the scene peacefully ... :mrgreen:

I don't know if you have seeing the video but I thought you might enjoy it.
Published on Feb 9, 2014
Do the jewels, bones and ashes found in an Indian tomb in 1898 mark the final resting place of the Buddha himself, or was it all an elaborate hoax? When Colonial estate manager, William Peppe, set his workers digging at a mysterious hill in Northern India in 1898, he had no idea what they'd find. Over twenty feet down, they made an amazing discovery: a huge stone coffer, containing some reliquary urns, over 1000 separate jewels and some ash and bone. One of the jars had an inscription that seemed to say that these were the remains of the Buddha himself. This seemed to be a most extraordinary find in Indian archaeology. But doubt and scandal have hung over this amazing find for over 100 years. For some, the whole thing is an elaborate hoax. For others, it is no less than the final resting place of the
messiah of one of the world's great religions. For the doubters, suspicion focuse...

Apparently they have actually found the bones of the Buddha. I am so grateful you survived the accident. I am thinking about giving up my driver's license because I think I am getting too old to drive.

Hola s-t, the bones of Buda?! :) , no idea about it, I´ll watch the documentary, gracias!!!!!!!

I am thinking about giving up my driver's license because I think I am getting too old to drive. Well, don´t sugestionate with that, amigo, just go with your intuition! . The guy that crashed me in fact was not too old (sixty something but looked older)... :roll:

I really wished during some weeks to be living in a XIX´s century city... :shock: ).

I realized that I don´t wish that anymore..., I remember I don´t like horse shit & I´m too olfative...! :lol: The transportation in the ideal city would be this way: you transport yourself materially in the old way only if you want to sightsee & enjoy the ride. For all the other urgencies or daily tasks you just vanish & appear where you need to be! (a lot of pollution, noise & accidents would be avoided that way!) :mrgreen: :wink:

In a week the ballotage...! :shock: Option A or B and the two of them (with different colours, history and inmediate context) right side loving ... a master in taoism or in dialectics somewhere? ... :roll: The present option is somehow sad & bizarre at the same time... (well, politicaly & economically the last years were somehow sad & bizarre at the same time... ).

I discovered I´m bad in voting in blanco as an ultimate option ... so despite I don´t like -at least a bit- both of the two candidates (plus,both of them were in relation with the sports local world ... help!!!!!!!!! :lol: ), I´ll vote (this time, this moment) to Daniel Scioli and then I´ll guess I´ll do my best to try both to forget & remember it ....!!!!!!!!! :mrgreen:
