Pitter patter...

And I feel to be a cog in something turning.....


No hace falta un claro de luna

No hace falta un rayo de sol, es lo mismo otoño que invierno, para amarte no hay ocasion.

No hace falta nada, tengo en tu mirada el amor.

Para amarte no hace falta sitio, ni tiempo, ni prejuicios, ni explicaciones, ni reclamos, ni juramentos que detengan al corazon.

No hace falta ley, ni testigos, no hace falta nada especial, para amarte sobran motivos y no alcanzan dos vidas mas…



I'm getting a bit natural this week...


Andy Goldsworthy is an environmental sculptor in which his use of the natural surroundings create an art form.

He explores and experiments with various natural materiel such as leaves, grasses, stones, wood, sand, clay, ice, and snow. The seasons and weather determine the materials and the subject matter of his projects.

With no preconceived ideas about what he will create, Goldsworthy relies on what nature will give him. Goldsworthy "feels" the energy from nature and transcends that energy into an art form. His transient sculptures contradict the permanence of art in its historical pretense.

I was raving on about him a while ago and have recently been looking again at his work - its very beautiful. I also like Fiona Hall, an Australian artist

We've been all too busy shoring up our world to make it safe from the perils of Nature. Now here we reside, stranded on our island of (in)humanity, surrounded by waters we have muddied and sifting, like so many grains of sand, the myriad of our kindred species into extinction through our fingers.




And the other night I was on my way home listening to late night radio when I heard Woodstock by Joni Mitchell. We are star dust..we are golden...Ruth in SFU once sung this in the kitchen - I love that scene.



And they were turning into butterflies
Above our nation
We are stardust
Billion year old carbon
We are golden
Caught in the devils bargain
And weve got to get ourselves
Back to the garden


Look out I'm sending out a kiss to Morning of the Earth

But it's a start, you open up your heart
Give your love to others, they become your bro-o-other
You open up your heart, come on, make a start
Try not to hide, what you feel inside
Just open up your heart

The Paintbox of my Heart



This week we welcome Miss Josephina..fotos to come.

Nada mas cierto que tu, nada.
Ni siquiera el agua que bebo para calmar mi sed, ni el aire respiro, ni la noche, ni el dia.
Nada mas cierto que tu, nada.

Nada me llena mas que tu presencia, que las horas que paso junto a ti,
que tu entrega.
Ni los suenos en el alma, ni el ahora, ni el manana.
Nada me llena mas, nada.

CALAMAR on a Sunday afternoon



Ok it seems I've been watching alot of telly lately and what a wonderful treat it is when you just happen upon something......Thalassa on SBS with that guapo Silvio Rivier who always presents Global Village. This one was about giant squid and it was great, especially the scenes underwater when the squid are feeding - beautiful!


The town of Santa Rosalia, in the Baja California desert, Mexico, has become a hub for giant squid fishing. The fishermen are badly paid, but the town is poor so there is little choice. During the squid migrating season scientists swim with them, film them and study their habits, as they are concerned about the drop in numbers.

Puchi is watching and feeling:Playing the Shadows


Caught this doco last night on ABC last night - amazing!

The suburb of Woolloomooloo nestled between Kings Cross and the city is home to one of Sydney's most notorious housing estates. The families of this area are generally broke and struggling. An after-dark basketball team is set up to get the kids of the 'Loo off the streets and to provide much-needed support. Eleven-year-old Jaidyn has been in and out of trouble at school and with the police. Celine is wonderfully fiesty despite a sick dad, no mum and many siblings. Jerry, six foot three with a big heart to match. No-one matches 15-year-old Ainsley in his determination to succeed both at school and basketball. Ianniello and Ettinger-Epstein's observational documentary shot over a year, is a thought-provoking and pleasurably up-beat look at unique suburb and its young community.

Toreros, Modotti y tu



Just a few things that have been buzzing through my mind this week..and something to think about over the weekend. I watched Frida again this week,Law of Desire, reading Tina Modotti's bio, listening to El Amor es mas Fuerte and dreaming of toreros!


porque eres mía
porque no eres mía
porque te miro y muero
y peor que muero
si no te miro amor
si no te miro


Hace dos dias vole....
descubri tu piel, senti tu calor....
tus besos, tu cuerpo
tu olor....
Hace dos dias sone....
estuve en tus ojos, temble de emocion...
tus manos, tu pelo
vivi mi pasion..
Hace dos dias naci...
fuimos hombre y mujer
guarde tu sabor..
tu risa y la mia
en un corazon.
