«The gold prospectors became very many in our forest highlands, destroying the river’s headwaters and killing their inhabitants with their diseases. The gold miners are earth-eaters, evil beings! Their thought is empty and they are full of epidemic smoke! We must prevent them soiling our rivers and chase them out of the forest.

All the most valiantxapirispirits come down to fight thexawaraepidemic and gather in an innumerable troop to confront it. When it really becomes too dangerous and they must save their people from death, our shaman elders even make the epidemic’s own image dance … once it becomes axapirispirit, it bravely fights the white people’s dangerous metal smoke… This is how our great shamans sometimes succeeded in driving this fierce disease away and curing its victims in the past. Yet most often thexawaraepidemic proves tougher…

Keystone XL Pipeline Project Is Canceled – The New York Times

The Canadian pipeline company that had long sought to build the Keystone XL pipeline announced Wednesday that it had terminated the embattled project, which would have carried petroleum from Canadian tar sands to Nebraska.

The announcement was the death knell for a project that had been on life support since President Biden’s first day in office and had been stalled by legal battles for years before that, despite support from the Trump administration.

Vivaldi translation of introduction – Granada, Spain

The palace and its incomparable gardens in the Alhambra are intensely frequented in any season by tourists from all over the world.

ore de drum

Granada, 2016

Palatul și grădinile sale neasemuite de la Alhambra sunt frecventate intens, în orice anotimp, de turiștii din toată lumea.

Ca să ai acces, trebuie să prevezi rezervarea unui bilet cu mult timp înainte și e obligatoriu să respecți ora la care ești programat să intri.

Din păcate, organizarea ghișeelor și funcționarea serviciilor de informare turistică sunt foarte neglijente, iar personalul nu este nici politicos și nici profesional. Cu toate acestea, odată intrat în perimetrul palatului, uiți de toate inconvenientele. Doar primele săli au fost mai aglomerate, după aceea lumea s-a dispersat, spațiul fiind polimorf.

Alhambra este unul dintre cele mai bine păstrate palate arabe din lume.

Arhitectura sa este în deplină armonie cu grădinile, cu fântânile și havuzurile.

Rutas de un viajero. Capítulo VII. Ihuatzio… la noche

Al pueblo de Ihuatzio

Es la otra hora, la noche, el espectáculo de las estrellas, en la oscuridad y lo infinito del cielo, o en la neblina que flota y se mezcla, en una añeja y tradicional alianza, con el humo que exhalan el copal, las fogatas, el incienso, las veladoras y los cirios. Son instantes nocturnos, envueltos con el prodigio de la vida y el retorno de los muertos, de acuerdo con la concepción purépecha, en su tierra nativa, en Ihuatzio.

Hay una fecha, en especial, en que las familias purépechas, reunidas en el cementerio, entre los altares con flores de cempasúchil y otros elementos indígenas, esperan a las ánimas, a sus difuntos, a la gente que a una hora y a otra, un día y muchos más, coexistió a su lado y protagonizó capítulos de una historia…
