tonight i finally watched this beautiful film Into Great Silence & to my surprise it is not silent at all!
somehow the absence of human sounds brings out the beauty of the monastery's daily reverberations of life
the film is all the good things I read on the reviews about the rhythm and sense of spirituality but over all…
it is a splendid visual masterpiece!
Danke schön to Herr Philip Gröning And his camera crew For portraying the glory of simple life In such a beautiful film without any artificial light and always preserving a high sense of respect to the monastic life
If you watch this film Don’t expect too much of the story There is no plot... Just let yourself immerse into The Great Silence... relax and prepare your eyes & soul to enjoy! & remember 2 hrs 44 minutes is nothing when “for God, there is no past, only present.”
practicalities: have an espresso with a teaspoon of sugar before going into the theatre, & any other enhnacement you'd like ;)
While I was in Autlán This little bird felt from his nest
My mother has this beautiful garden Visited every day by many birds Therefore, she is used to this sort of accidents
She already has a shoe-box prepared to keep Fallen birds warm She made a hole all across the box And she put a tree branch across it And a piece of cloth to keep the little birds warm
For 2 days while I was there She fed the bird with a paste made out of masa (the corn dough for making tortillas) & water
around 3pm of the second day and with the bright Autlán sun shinning high we took the box with the bird to the main garden we left the box half open specially since he was singing loud after a couple of minutes the mother appeared and after falling a couple of times the little bird was able to follow her to the nest again
unfortunately I didn’t take a movie of that! But here is the feeding process And my mother, her kitchen (watch the movie till the end for a full view) And that beautiful memory of some bright Days with a little bird in Autlán
the day Jesus Christ died I am not hard-core catholic I was raised a catholic but I do respect Jesus and I respect the catholic grief
Good Friday is always a cloudy day! what a coincidence and today San Diego is cloudy menace of rain I guess being cloudy is the sky & clouds way to keep a quiet moment of silence keeping the sun away for a philosopher of life who died 2007 years ago
sometimes it is fun to leave cheerful messages at your dear friend's phone heh heh heh
this photo, from a couple of weeks ago can't believe it is already april! time flies these days as life, in sun & smiles & spring beginnings, day by day, magically goes
porque jaime siempre me los recuerda & because sonic brings back days of mexico city subway & running, crowds & then some green stops at parks walking fast all the time school, work, life & sonic youth on my headphones, must of the time or while driving in my car & then i found a friend online, who lived in Monterrey and liked Sonic Youth as well [don't miss the destroyed room photo on their site!] almost 10 years later, we are still friends online
here Silver Rocket Sonic Youth, love that they recorded this video live look closer at the playing of those guitars and Thurston singing breaking voice sometimes
