Crónicas de una vida con mi mamá

Un año más de tener la dicha de celebrar a mi mamá y esta publicación va dedicada a ella, a quien ha luchado por mí, como nadie nunca lo hará, dicen que lo que no se escribe se olvida, por eso les quiero contar en resumen porque mi mamá es una combinación de una guerrera valiente y una delicada y linda flor.  Aún no soy mamá, pero a mi edad comprendo muchas cosas que antes no, y valoro más, todo…

¡Infancia!

Flor en el campo o flor sola

Flor viva o flor muerta

Flor regada por amable cuidadores o pisoteada por una mujer y un hombre brutos y sin delicadeza.

Flor: amarilla, morada, rosa, roja, blanca o verde; respetada por los que aman las matices o discrimanada por campesinos daltónicos.

Rosa negra; extremadamente bella y triste en tu soledad, rodeada por sucios bichos que veen solo tu belleza.

¡Infancia!

Sol que viste de felicidad y placidez, o lluvia torrencial que moja y enferma.

¡Infancia!

Luna que orna de plata o que quita la luz.

¡Infancia!

Columpios amigos,

Acerca de ellos los pajaros cantaban

Los bichos existían sin estorbos y el cielo era azúl y limpio,

Allí en donde la vida empezaba y terminaba

Allí en donde el sueño era la realidad y la realidad una pesadilla.

¡Infancia!

A ti niña de cara risueña y del corazón en luto

A ti que el viento te estropeaba los cabellos y te arreglaba el corazón

A ti que los rayos del sol se posaban en tu mejilla rechoncha

A ti te doy un beso rosa y te visto de sueños y paz.

¡Infancia!

Si no la tuviste

¡Infancia!

Perdona

¡Infancia!

Abraza

¡Infancia!

Cuida

¡Infancia!

Respeta

¡Infancia!

Educa

¡Infancia!

Ama

¡Infancia!

A tu niño...

¡Infancia!

Interior.

Baltazar Ushca: la muerte de un antiguo oficio

Este 11 de octubre de 2024, Ecuador ha perdido a una de sus figuras más emblemáticas: Baltazar Ushca, el último hielero del Chimborazo. Su fallecimiento, a los 80 años, marca el final de una tradición ancestral que durante siglos formó parte de la vida en las faldas del volcán Chimborazo. Ushca falleció en su propiedad en Guano, mientras realizaba sus labores cotidianas, tras ser derribado por un toro en un accidente que ha conmocionado a la comunidad local.

Favorite episodes from my favorite podcast - Part 3 📻

This is part 3 of my favorite episodes from "Radio Ambulante" podcast. Enjoy!

El mago. (The magician). This is also in my top 5 (maybe in the #1 spot, I love this episode so much!). I cried a lot, tears of sadness and joy. After years of effort, an Ecuadorian immigrant manages to be recognized as a magician in NY and when he finally achieves success, he loses his sight.

Luna llena sobre Chiapas. (Full moon over Chiapas). Hey, paranormal stuff (although it scares me) has fascinated me since I was little. This episode of nahuales in Mexico is super good.

Los flequilludos. (The bangs). I really didn't know how to translate the title into English. This episode is hilarious. I laughed like crazy. In Argentina in the 60s, chaos breaks out when a TV channel brings in a group of Beatles imitators and people think they are the originals hahaha great.

240 aves. (240 birds). Beautiful episode. A Uruguayan man who was born blind develops incredible hearing ability; He can recognize any bird just by listening to it. His ability makes him win a television contest where geniuses from all over Latin America participate

Las escaladoras. (The climbers). A group of Bolivian 'cholitas' challenge traditional gender roles and manage to climb the most important peaks in their country and the world. Super inspiring.

Emos vs. punks. This infamous episode is said to be one of the things that keeps Mexico humble. If you grew up in the 2000s, like me, you must be familiar with emos (you probably were one) and you'll love this episode.

¿Alguien ha visto a este muchacho? (Has anyone seen this boy?). Slavery, although abolished 200 years ago in most of the continent, still exists. As city people, we are often so foreing to the harsh realities of rurality. This is a story from Brazil.

La rata que amé. (The rat I loved)." A Colombian scientist who works in a laboratory in the United States saves the life of a rat on which he experiments and even adopts it as a pet. This experience makes him question many things and changes his life.

Las llaves. (The keys). This episode is top 5 for me. You cannot measure the anguish I felt listening to it. Kidnapping, manipulation, misogyny, slavery. A harsh story from Venezuela. One of the ones that has impacted me the most on the podcast.

Hombre busca ayuda. "Man seeks help." One of the best initiatives that the district of Bogotá has carried out in recent years (in my opinion) has been the "Calma" hotline to provide psycological help to men and deconstruct toxic masculinities typical of Latin culture.

I thought this will take me just three parts, but there are so many good episodes of the podcast that I really really like so I will include in part 4.

Confieso que hay alguien que detesto en tumblr, considero que solo es una persona que no obtuvo lo que quería y no se quiso quedar con la espinita, de alguna forma me daño. También confieso que medio tumblr me cae mal y son contados los blogs que valen la pena.

Y que es lo que quería ? Hay mucha gente así lamentablemente cuando no obtienen lo que quieren se dedican a tirar mierda ( nose si será tu caso ) pero conozco muchos asi, y pues por eso hay que quedarse con los que valen la pena 🫶
