Katherine Mansfield

I’m always very happy to come across another woman writer. Katherine died at just 34 years old and wrote a great number of short stories. Last night I had a super cool conversation in my bookclub about her.

The story The Garden Party reminded me of  Ursula Le Guin's Mazes and also Wuthering Heights, where a fictional narrative is used to point out the toxicity of a classists and oligarchic society, and the way the look down on Indigenous people and anyone from a lower classes. 

I loved the story last night and everything I learned about her a very bold and rebellious writer who died far too young.

Sueños

​En un sueño, Leve ha venido a jugar, yo estoy jugando con ella. En un momento se va con la mamá y la llamo por teléfono y de alguna forma nos comunicamos. 

En otro sueño, alguien está organizando una fiesta——- aaaah no me acuerdo de mas!

Progress

how it started 

How it’s going 

pensaba que importante es concentrarse en el mood de la pieza, evocar la de sanción de ese día con los colores y las sombras 

En el mismo sitio

Nos levantamos.

Subimos a un carro,
manejamos,
caminamos,
o dejamos que nos lleven.

De punto A
a punto B,
cruzando semáforos,
ruido,
obstáculos,
días enteros.

Vamos de un lado al otro
como si el movimiento
fuera destino.

Y aun así,
a pesar de tanto avanzar,
tantas calles,
tantas vueltas,

seguimos sin llegar
a ningún lado

siempre en el mismo sitio 

Coffee Shops

I love going to coffee shops on the weekends to read, draw, or simply observe people.

Sometimes, like today, I pack my computer and drive to one to work from there.

I captured a sweet moment between a dad and his son. The father was so gentle, and whatever he was saying made the little boy laugh.

Other visitors were older people sitting together, solving crosswords or reading the newspaper.

There is something so romantic and nostalgic about these place
