Un recuerdo del futuro: my first book. A poetry show and LUZ for MEXICO

I was driving when I felt it coming. México.

The Mexican goverment together with the owners of mega-ultra rich companies -monopolios- and the narcotic leaders, even if they have all the money, all the power...they want more. More and more, y más y más... y más, they want more money and more power and more more! Lies and lies...fraud, corruption, primitive beheavior. -How can we not get upset, infected by repulsion, while surrounded by this eternity of lies?- They want more, there will be not enough for these unevolved and powerful people, there is no end to their greed!
How can I be so deeply affected by this? .- Where are all these years of Buddhist cultivation and compassion? I don't want to feel this in my heart.
I didn’t fully notice how I ended up in a Bank of America parking lot hugging the car's steering wheel and crying so mightily. I think that when one has the chance to cry from the guts there is really nothing left but a big smile and peace. We will survive.

:)
This is Mexico marching in unity.
Mexico is living very hard times, but things are very clear. Yes, it is a dark time: freaking-frightening-terrorizing-frustrating-alarming fraudulent OBSCURE. It is so dark that people need to lift their own lights to see. Mexico is living a wonderful awakening of goodwill. A memory from the future is telling me that new generations are sewing a better present.

I will support all the good citizens movements, walks, Facebook tags, twitters, festivals, articles, conferences...whatever brings consciousness and unity without provoking ANY violence at all. I don’t believe in “revolutions” but I do believe we must stand together like one being. I believe we must be good-honest-kind people and behave uprightly, generating good energy, avoiding violence. Donate, adopt an orphan, open a library, teach someone to read who is far away from your “social level," support the single woman and widows and old people. Work hard. RESIST ADDICTIONS. Do good. Inspire goodness. Do good. Do good. DO GOOD and keep doing good-ness...
yes
oh yeah YO SOY 132!!!!
:D
Viva el buen México y que se retiren los que no tienen alma ni fondo.

I forgot to share with you that in the month of May I don’t know how this national dance magazine found us. They dedicated four pages to us. A beautiful article written by Ann Murphy (I think that Ann really captured the essence of our mission). Click HERE to read it.

 Aquí a poetry book.


A recollection of poems, paintings and sculpture created and inspired by different places where I have lived: Cocoyoc, Tepoztlán, Mexico City, France and New York. I was planning to release this book this summer, but the political (and spiritual) situation in Mexico is critical. All my friends and artistic community have had their energy focused on such INCREDIBLE social phenomenon that we all need to calm down. The book will be for free, and I will release it in the fall.

The good news is that we, Ballet de la Compasión/The Tea Dancers, made an unusual and curious show inspired by the poems and paintings of this book, and we are going to participate in the Santa Cruz Fringe Festival. Five nights of bilingual thoughts, aerial dance, video poetry and live painting at the 418 Project theater.
We start next Tuesday 14. And in August 11 and 12 we'll be in Berkeley @ 8th St. Studio.
As usual creating a positive intention on stage. A forty-five minute show. I am so excited! We are dancing music of Kristine Barret and Dan Wool Wow! thank you to Gisela Pérez, Christopher Howard, Mayra Enriquez and Roya Arasteh who made this posible.  

Click HERE to check our schedule. We start next Tuesday. Buy your tickets AQUI.



And here a video with the art from the book and show.
I am waiting as long as I can to stop my Bcc and start an email newsletter. I don't like newsletters; I think most of them become impersonal and we start to write more "guarded," but I know that this is the protocol in these "modern times.".Everybody that is receiving this email is very important to me. I know you and somehow you have touched my life or inspired me or caused me curiosity.

If you want me to remove your email from this list, let me know.

Thank you again for being part of my experience on this planet
and may we all be free from the sense of ego,
free from fear, free from anger, free from the things of desire.
