Contravoz te proporciona la moral del momento - 4 (Nothing moves)

"One day, two monks were looking at a flag.
The first monk said that the flag was moving.
The second monk said that the wind was moving.
The patriarch happened to be passing by and told them that it was neither the flag nor the wind.
It is the mind that is moving."




When I look at this photo sent to me by Pablo from the early days, I see that time has passed, or people have changed, or the mind is moving....but I do not remember this moment.

Los Animales Soñados de los Tepuys - The magic animals


En las noches del campamento se anunciaron, por breves citas y referencias, reptiles con forma humana, monos sin habla, bestias que cantan, animales terrestres con dientes escarlatas, criaturas que buscan amaestrarnos, y el Mirmecoleòn.
Pese a nuestra incredulidad, ellos nos siguieron, y nos observaron durante los dias de marcha.

Amphibious trends

It takes some time to measure running distance, effort and trajectory. The experience of Contravoz and his friend James von Trueke, on the 31 December 2006, has to do to the change of solid to fluid phase in their training.

See in Google Earth the ground trajectory (in yellow - approx 45 min run) and the fluid trajectory (in red - approx 2 hours). Running, I conclude is more efficient than swimming. See on the second photo the arrival...when voices questioning our sanity are pronounced from the advantageous situation of a floating devise.

Para El Pecador, por si sufre



En "Definiendo el amor - Francisco de Quevedo" Liki Fumei sufre de incongruencias (sic.). Contravoz (Marque la respuesta mas apropiada):
O Se une a su dolor
O Le apoya en su trayecto por el desierto
O Se alegra de su buena suerte
O Se felicita (atencion, en general solo los politicos se felicitan a si mismos)
O Espera su pronta recuperacion

A description that does justice of this great land and great trip will follow shortly...
