These next six weeks are going to suck!

"You enter the forest at the darkest point, where there is no path. Where there is a way or path, it is someone else's path. You are not on your own path. If you follow someone else's way, you are not going to realize your potential. "  -- Joseph Campbell, The Hero's Journey

Today the United States will be celebrating Valentines day. That means love, chocolate, sex, friendship…

I signed this pledge (pictured here on the right) a few days ago. So I certainly will not be indulging in a fancy dinner, a decadent dessert or any kind of romantic contact from a human.

I will be working, working out, walking my dog, enjoying period cramps, and figuring out how to separate my life and dogs from my partner of the last 10 years (while balling my fucking eyes out).

Sigh!

Anyhow, separating from the people you are close to, from the people you call family; it is always hard. I have a very deep sadness in my heart. I am extremely worried about what the future holds.

For the last 3 years I have been relying on the financial support of my partner, in order to work out some of my artistic ventures. I am grateful for that, because I have done and learned so many things . Unfortunately not having a guaranteed paycheck, no savings, no credit and no place of my own makes today OME MILLION PERCENT SCARIER. I am not just heartbroken but scared shitless.

I am glad I signed this contract at the beginning of the week, because this challenge is about the only thing right now keeping my head on straight. Not only could I desperately use the endorphins from the workouts, but in this time of need… I could really use the monetary reward offered to the winner.

On this terribly beautiful morning, I am grateful for the kind and encouraging instruction of Coach Wolf. I am grateful for sore muscles, sore muscles that remind me that with time and work, not only will I heal, but also will become stronger.

in loving chaos,

Can I celebrate Day of the Dead?

Usually I don’t address this kind of stuff, but I’m getting tired. I’m Mexican, living in Mexico, so, I think I have a little bit of a license to talk about this.

All starts with this post.

And well, my answer is there, but I want to deepen. 

Día de Muertos (Day of the Dead) is a Mexican holiday that dates back to Pre Hispanic times, yes, before the Spanish conquest. Spanish conquerors tried to vanish it, that’s why now it’s mixed with some catholic rituals as well.

With time, this holiday reached other parts of the world, but it’s Mexican. Don’t forget that.

Every part of the country celebrates in a different way, but wih the same purpose. I live in the center, to be specific, in Mexico City, here people put an Ofrenda, that is like a altar with a photography of your deceased loved ones, with food also alcohol, cigarettes and everything that the dead relatives enjoyed in life. Also, some people go to cemetery and put their Ofrendas there, they spend the night by the side on the graves, celebrating, praying and remembering.

But enough of context, the real question is…

If I’m not Mexican, can I celebrate Día de Muertos?

Remember this… Día de Muertos is a celebration, a party, a fiesta, is not something sad or morbid, is a day to remember our loved ones with a smile. Look… we even have these sugar skull with our names on it, we don’t see it as something solemn and serious. Don’t get me wrong, is important, very, for us mexicans. I dare to say that is the most important holiday here, because is ours, is part of our History, even is part of the UNESCO intangible cultural world heritage list.

So, if you dress like a Catrina or you want to put an Ofrenda, is ok if you care to investigate a little. You can ask a Mexican friend, or do some research online, it doesn’t matter if you do all of this with respect.

Is not the same when an American dress with a sombrero and sarape to “celebrate” 5 de Mayo. 5 de Mayo here isn’t even of a big deal, and that kind of portrayal of us is, indeed, racist.

Is not like… “oh, this is a really cool celebration, when you can remember and celebrate your deceased loved ones, but is only for Mexicans”, that’s kind of childish, to be honest. You can think and celebrate and even expect your deceased loved ones to go to your house if you put an Ofrenda, is a matter of faith and a little bit of whimsy.

So, don’t be afraid to ask, to do some research, to even dare to put an Ofrenda or dress like a Catrina, because if is with respect, is ok.

Here are some important things to consider:

— Día de Muertos (Day of the Dead) is on November 2. Some people celebrate also November 1, usually dedicated to children.

— La Catrina is a representation of the Death as an elegant lady. The original image was made by José Guadalupe Posada, then included by Diego Rivera in his “Sueño de una Tarde Dominical en la Alameda Central” painting.

— A proper Ofrenda has to have:

Candles, to guide the way.

Cempazúchitl flowers or marygolds, the smell helps our visitors to keep going.

Salt, I don’t remember the importance, but it’s important.

Water, because when they arrive, they’re tired.

A cross made of quicklime, it also guides the way.

A religious image, it could be a saint, the Virgin Mary, etc.

Fruits, like apples, plums, bananas, pumpkins, sweet potatos, sugar canes, jicamas, tangerines, oranges, etc. These are seasonal mexican fruits, so, you can replace them.

Sugar skulls and other candies specifically made for Día de Muertos.

Pan de Muerto or… Bread of the Dead (?).

A photograpy of the person or persons you’re dedicating your Ofrenda.

Food, everything they used to like.

Drinks, same.

Everything they enjoyed in life, like cigarrettes or a toy or whatever.

— Making an Ofrenda to a deceased pet is not so rare. ;)

If you have questions, you can ask me. 

Pardon my English but… well, I’m Mexican.
