El Olivo

 

It made me sad that grandpa’s ashes rested alone under the olive tree. It was his wish to be cremated, but still… Both of them had spent a lifetime together, and I don’t doubt they had loved each other dearly. But while my grandma slept 700+ km away, in a tomb in the Almudena Cemetery all alone, my granddad got to rest close to us, in my parents’ garden—so far away from her.

It made me sad… until a few minutes ago. I went to greet him, as I often do, to touch the olive tree and send him a thought… when I noticed the huge plant right under the tree—I mean huge, growing like crazy. Could it be? I reached for one of its leaves, rubbing it between my fingers, and there it was… a gush of lavender on steroids. My grandmother was obsessed with lavender…

Serenidipity is a wonderful thing.

Happy weekend dear earthlings. I know it’s not exactly easy at the moment, but here we are—still breathing, still together on this wonderful planet. Let’s not forget it.

Love,

THE MOST IDIOTIC SPECIES

I don't know why I even bother looking for a job at the moment O_o

Why are humans so obsessed with creating the most destructive gadgets ever? We've already proven that intelligence isn't our strong suit—we're, without a doubt, the most idiotic species.

PS – then again, this could potentially solve the environmental crisis in one shot.

PSS - is this actually real, anybody????

THE MOUSE

 

It's hard to believe, but I was born in a different world and experienced magic—real magic that people now take for granted. I'll give you an example. When I was little, to move something you had to physically interact with the object itself (other than TV controllers, of course—that magic was already accessible to us). Then one day, after finishing tutoring a boy (I used to help him with English), he showed me some games he had on the computer. But, to my surprise, he didn't click on the keyboard at all. The graphics were super good, like TV cartoons, and the best part… he moved a little gadget under his right hand, and the cursor moved "alone" on the screen. This was many lifetimes ago, but I still remember the feeling of utter awe.

Yep—and we hadn't seen anything yet.

PS – I wish you all a day full of magic, not necessarily technological…

What a thought, that we have six nuclear warheads unaccounted for God knows where. what a thought! I should leave this post for a Monday... 

SOUL MOUNTAIN

"You can never get a cup of tea large enough or a book long enough to suit me."

CS Lewis

I generally agree wholeheartedly with this statement by C. S. Lewis, but not on this occasion. Tea in Spain tastes like shit (even British tea), and this book I have just finished has been painful through and through. It broke every narrative rule, and not only that—it run me over like a great big lorry leaving only pain behind. I don't know what I just read. Like looking into the head of God and finding in it information about multiple Chinese people, all at once, all thrown at the reader without rhythm or rhyme. 

It was written by a Nobel Prize winner. This is a sin, I know, and it says a lot more about me than about its brilliant writer. But the 50s are the age of brutal honesty, with oneself and others.

My father wanted to push me towards another brilliant piece of literature, but I think I need, for now, something light… something very light. A shampoo label will do for now.

PS_ However, I did learn something important in the last page... my mother —as usual— was right, GOD IS A FROG.

PSS— how’s everyone doing? Any fabulous books?

Wonderful Weather

The news on the 17th of March this year:

but a few years back :

https://www.bbc.com/news/blogs-trending-42195511

Incidentally, the term conspiracy theorist was first popularised by the CIA to dismiss those who dared to ask uncomfortable questions.

Said that... if this winter's weather has had anything whatsoever to do with any actions by any government we might as well throw the towel and sleep a long siesta. Happy Saturday, my darlings.

I’m "purpled "to death but very happy tonight. God bless handsome young men and beer… not necessarily in that order.

Captura de BTS COMEBACK DRONE LIGHT SHOW

It feels almost surreal that, while much of the world seems to be living through its darkest chapter since World War II (or so it feels from here), millions of people are quietly counting down the hours to a concert in Seoul.

BTS. Arirang. Live. On Netflix.

The first live concert ever broadcast on the platform—and of course, it had to be Korean.

At this point, anyone who still refuses to see that the East is rising isn’t just missing it… they’re choosing not to look.

And then there’s the obvious question: who are BTS, really?

One of the most successful pop groups in the world, for years now. Seven members, freshly reunited after completing the eighteen months of compulsory military service required in South Korea.

K-pop has never quite been my thing, and BTS isn’t even my favorite within that world. But these boys have trained since childhood, worked beyond what most people will ever understand, and in doing so, they’ve brought billions into their country and sparked global curiosity about Korean culture.

And that matters.

Because in a world where powerful men still spend their time—and their people’s taxes—on weapons, on destruction, on burning through what little we have left… it feels only fair to acknowledge those who build something instead.

Even if it’s “just” pop.

Good luck, my darlings—whoever, wherever you are.

I hope you’re safe. I hope the people you love are safe too.

And I hope, somehow, we outgrow the men who keep dragging us backwards… and choose, for once, something better.
