One more cycle

There are many cycles and rythms. Seasons are, despite of their predictibility, striking in their capacity to surprise. I am astonish to see winter come back to Baule. One more cycle.
I am under the avalanche of historical data. Reading details of the 1939-1955 life in Spain. Somehow, like seasons, we forget how easier life can be, how harsh it may become.

La foto primera me ha traido el recuerdo de algo que decía tu abuelo homónimo:
- "¡Corre chaval quel mundu nun tien portiellas!.
¡qué diría si viera el número de "portiellas" que se cierran y de muros que se yerguen precisamente para evitar que los chavales corran.

Enfín, un canto a la libertad

For a harsh taste of the dark extremes you mention see the film "Pan's Labrinthe". 1944 Spain.

Put the children to bed first.
