After reading a half-dozen of his pieces, the only thing I know about him personally is that he has a dog. Keeping subjectivity out of news reporting is admirable, but when you are writing about the flowers of our rainy season, the reader expects a personal touch. |
Perusing social media, I am amazed both at how viscious some of my neighbors are and how their horrible ugliness goes unchallenged by the community at large. They should be ashamed. |
When we are physically present with people we are governed by deep-seated social mores. Online, free from such natural courtesies, even mild-mannered ex-reporters, give up the polite practices of decades and wildly strike out. |
If you give the rat the same choice, but instead of isolating it, include in its cage everything a rat could want, friends, sexual partners, colored balls..., they hardly ever choose the drugged water... |

Authentic Green Burial by Felix Chancellor |
Death and Life go together, hand in hand, in an intricate and interdependent cosmic dance that forms the flow and cycle of the Universe. Stars, viruses and all in between are ruled by the dynamic, loving dialogue between Life and Death. |
Our habits, institutions, medicine, end-of-life and funerary practices all speak of our neurotic, dissociated relationship with the end of Life. We hold ourselves as somehow exclusive from Nature and its cycles; as if we hold dominion over Nature in that regard. |
The earth, is a heap of carcasses: leaves, trees, deer, fungi, grass, bacteria, rocks, people, that has accumulated and been transformed by the earth and the Earth over millions of years. This transformation takes place elegantly, exquisitely, impeccably, with profound wisdom and poetry |
Here in Mexico, it was the ancestral tradition to wrap the body in petate, a large and pliable weaving of plant leaves, which is now only commonly used as a floor covering. |

He said that if he were busy with one library patron, he could communicate across the room with other people using his hand to tell them that he would be with them soon. |
I said Mexicans bow, too. The two of them said emphatically that Mexican don't bow. When I made the "thank you" gesture that is so widely used in Mexico, they answered simultaneously, in great astonishment, "We do bow". |
The concept of cheap or stingy is conveyed in Mexico by tapping a bent elbow with the palm. This refers to the idea of wearing a sweater or jacket even though the elbows have been worn out. |
Holding your clenched hand, palm facing outwards, up to your chest and pushing outwards toward the person to whom you are "speaking" indicates "you are irritating me". |

Mató a Secuestrador y Ahora Está en la Cárcel |
Ramón, realizing the risk, took an old rifle, sharpened his aim, and lowered one of the aggressors.
El hombre a percatarse del riesgo, tomó un viejo rifle, afinó la puntería, y bajó a uno de los agresores. |
