Baule - Tercera etapa: la estructura original



Con unos dias de retraso vuelve la estructura de madera de Mélèze (Alerce en Español?), y pronto el techo. Al fondo los galciares de la region de la Dent Blanche y Dent D'Hérens.

Summer


No need for philosophical engagement - lets make it clear - it is summer. And somehow, summer feels longer than it used to be (I'm sliding back to the philosophical twist).

Aurelio Menendez Senior and Poetry from the past


Para los que no conocen Aurelio Junior.....

Aqui esta Aurelio Senior. El publico recientemente "Sesenta Poemas Españoles" . Entre ellos estan muchos (todos???) los poemas que se oian en mi casa - mi padre como fuente. Una prueba irrefutable de que con la amistad se forja una estetica comun, o que una estetica comun lleva a la amistad:
Fray Luis "Que descansada vida la del que huye el mundanal ruido..."
Machado "Mi infancia son los recuerdos de un patio de Sevilla..."
Jimenez "...y yo me ire. Y se quedaran los pajaros cantando...."
Salinas "Para vivir no quiero islas, palacios , torres..."
Salinas "Que alegria vivir sintiendose vivido.."
Diego "Enhiesto surtidor de sombra y sueño.."

Contravoz on the move - Washington

My dear blogtourists, I am on the move to Washington (Graphic illustration #1 - in the plane). Highlights: running between the White House, the Vietnam monument and the Capitol at >30°C(Graphic illustration #2). , and staying at the house of Aurelio Menendez (Graphic illustration #3).

And now, a quote for those in search of meaningful thoughts:

"A shoe factory sends two marketing scouts to a region of Africa to study the prospects for expanding business.
One sends back a telegram saying:
SITUATION HOPELESS STOP NO ONE WEARS SHOES
The other writes back triumphantly
GLORIOUS BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY STOP THEY HAVE NO SHOES"
From The art of possibility - Zander and Stone
