A Single Strand of Hair...
Saturday, 4. August 2007, 18:18:13
Every once in awhile
I find a single strand of hair
that is kinky and jet black
in my long brown hair
I stare at it in wonder
at who you were
were you of Africa
or of gypsy strain?
Running around
in the blood of my name?
And sometimes I spy
a very light hair
thinking at first
the signs of old age
with closer inspection
I discover it blond...
Are you the flemish
the jewish or spanish
that I know to be running around
in the currents of my blood?
I smile at the past
hidden in the mysteries
of who I am
There is a trace of something
from the world over...
Do I have your eyes?
Your smile? Your nose?
A gesture kept immortal
Since the seed was first planted?
Of this,
I am sure
In every part of my being.
We cross paths with each other
in every single smile I meet.
You are my Eve
You have planted the first seed
nurtured and raised every generation.
you´re alive, immortal
through me, my children
for they are all yours.
That the beauty comes from within
the innermost part of my being.
Sometimes, I get a sensation
an emotion of being home
Where I´ve never been before
a whispered thank you
from the past
for bringing you back
to where your story started.
And I am left bewildered
with what that story was
hidden in the folds
of the mystery of my blood.
To honor my every mother
and my every father
being kind to my brothers
and sisters throughout the world.
I honor you Eve, with my life
each and every single one.
You, immortal, since the beginning.
I unravel my story
and the longer the string
the less there is left to tell
Retracing that strand
of a single jet black hair
Going back to the beginning
into one tiny knot
of that first tentative seed
the dream that was planted,
nurtured throughout the centuries.
Hundreds of strands of hair
maintaining connections
to the faces that disappear
into the folds of my skin
A gradual unveiling of history
opens up before my eyes
And in revolving circles
I find variety in repetition
that to go forward
you have to go back
to where you began.
And what humans forget
the genes will forever remember
We are one, We are immortal
the past, the present, the future
is in the mystery of every child´s smile...

Baltasar Gracian "El Discreto" Aphorism #3
KNOW WHAT WIMBLING is. For it is a fine point in human intercourse.
It is done to test the spirit, and by it one may unconcern probe the most hidden, and the deepest recesses of the heart.
Sometimes it is malicious, sharp, poisoned with the juice of envy, and dipped in the venom of passion, unnoticed darts aimed to bring down the sublime, and the estimable.
Many have fallen from the favor of high or low, wounded by some trifling word: who earlier never feared a whole conspiracy of popular hatred and personal spleen. At other times it works differently, through flattery aiding and abetting, the self-esteem.
But with the same skill with which a plot is projected, let cautio recognize it, and attentiveness expect it: for defence depends on recognition, and the shot foreseen always fails its mark.
Who is Baltasar Gracian?
Adam and Eve - Isabel's simple theory.
Wednesday, 3. September 2008, 22:52:55
In the beginning God created Adam. And as practice makes perfect, he thus created Eve.
In the Bible, God placed them in the Garden of Eden, where they had all of their heart's desires. But Adam and Eve did not have human thoughts and choices, as we know humans today, they lived by their instincts, more or less like every other mammal that lived then and as far as science can fathom, as they live now.
And in the Bible, there was this so-called tree of all knowledge, right? Well, God forbade them to go near that tree. So along came the serpent (and you may interpret him as the devil or even temptation) and he tempted Eve with all the knowledge of that tree. All the knowledge of God. Legend goes that it was an apple, but no where does it actually state that it was an apple, only the fruit of that tree. Eve took that apple, but she didn't take that first bite, she gave it to Adam. Supposedly, she tempted him also. And Adam took the first bite, and as legend goes, he choked on the apple. The fruit was forever lodged in his throat. Eve bit the apple in all confidence and she swallowed.
God found out as you all know. For they were found in their shame. Covering their naked bodies in the Garden of Eve and God condemned them both for their crime. And supposedly gave them a life of hardship.
But the simple truth is this - if that tree was of all knowledge - it was all the knowledge of God. As Eve swallowed - she became the earthly embodiment of God, thus able to create and embody life. Adam choked - and if anyone was truly cursed it was Adam, he was stuck between being a simple animal and having some notion of the knowledge of God. In my opinion, Adam was a coward. He could have said no, and carried on as before, or he could have just swallowed. Eve was the courageous one and took the first step and planted the first dream of the beginnings of true humanity.
Eve tried to awaken Adam from his dream, to know about the truth. The power to stand against the powerful, the power to compete against those who "seem" invincible.
So, what do you think?
And yes, it is a legend in the bible, but there is some sort of Adam and Eve in every single culture and religion of the world. And whether we like to admit or not, there just had to have had some sort of Adam and Eve or else where the hell did we all come from...

From Henry back in New Zealand:
not too bad...
| Your Issue Profile: 80% Obama, 20% McCain |
 Surprised? Probably not. You've had your eye on Obama for a while. In fact, you're likely already a strong Obama supporter. You know where your vote is going this November. |

Great Advice to Pass on to Your Daughters...

1. Don't imagine you can change a man - unless he's in diapers.
2. What do you do if your boyfriend walks-out? You shut the door.
3. If they put a man on the moon - they should be able to put them all up there.
4. Never let your man's mind wander - it's too little to be out alone.
5. Go for younger men. You might as well - they never mature anyway.
6. Men are all the same - they just have different faces, so that you can tell them apart.
7. Definition of a bachelor; a man who has missed the opportunity to make some woman miserable.
8. Women don't make fools of men - most of them are the do-it-yourself types.
9. Best way to get a man to do something, is to suggest they are too old for it.
10. Love is blind, but marriage is a real eye-opener.
11. If you want a committed man, look in a mental hospital.
12. The children of Israel wandered around the desert for 40 years. Even in biblical times, men wouldn't ask for directions.
13. If he asks what sort of books you're interested in, tell him checkbooks.
14. Remember a sense of humor does not mean that you tell him jokes, it means that you laugh at his.
15. Sadly, all men are created equal...
and just because they're the MAN:
Because I'm a man, when I lock my keys in the car, I will fiddle with a coat hanger long after hypothermia has set in. Calling the AAA is not an option. I will win.
Because I'm a man, when the car isn't running very well, I will pop the hood and stare at the engine as if I know what I'm looking at. If another man shows up, one of us will say to the other, "I used to be able to fix these things, but now with all these computers and everything, I wouldn't know where to start." We will then drink a couple of beers, as a form of holy communion.
Because I'm a man, when I catch a cold, I need someone to bring me soup and take care of me while I lie in bed and moan. You're a woman. You never get as sick as I do, so for you, this is no problem.
Because I'm a man, I can be relied upon to purchase basic groceries at the store, like milk or bread. I cannot be expected to find exotic items like "cumin" or "tofu." For all I know, these are the same thing.
Because I'm a man, when one of our appliances stops working, I will insist on taking it apart, despite evidence that this will just cost me twice as much once the repair person gets here and has to put it back together.
Because I'm a man, I must hold the television remote control in my hand while I watch TV. If the thing has been misplaced, I may miss a whole program looking for it...though one time I was able to survive by holding a calculator...(applies to engineers mainly).
Because I'm a man, there is no need to ask me what I'm thinking about. The true answer is always either sex, hunting, sex, cars, sex, tractors, sex, fishing, sex, sports or sex. I have to make up something else when you ask, so don't ask.
Because I'm a man, I do not want to visit your mother, or have your mother come visit us, or talk to her when she calls, or think about her any more than I have to. Whatever you got her for Mother's Day is okay; I don't need to see it. And don't forget to pick up something for my mother, too.
Because I'm a man, you don't have to ask me if I liked the film. Chances are, if you're crying at the end of it, I didn't...and if you are feeling amorous afterwards...then I will certainly at least remember the name and recommend it to others.
Because I'm a man, I think what you're wearing is fine. I thought what you were wearing five minutes ago was fine, too. Either pair of shoes is fine. With the belt or without it, looks fine. Your hair is fine. You look fine. Can we just go now?
Because I'm a man, and this is, after all, the year 2007, I will share equally in the housework. You just do the laundry, the cooking, the cleaning, the vacuuming, and the dishes, and I'll do the rest.... like wandering around in the garden with a beer, wondering what to do.
This has been a public service message for women to better understand men.
