#TheWeatherWoman by #Sally Gardner #historicalfiction

Book Summary (Kaye Publicity): Neva Friezland is born into a world of trickery and illusion, where fortunes can be won and lost on the turn of a card. She is also born with an extraordinary gift. She can predict the weather. In Regency England, where the proper goal for a gentlewoman is marriage and only God knows the weather, this is dangerous. It is also potentially very lucrative. In order…

This is a photo of a dance workshop I was running ‭at the Friezland Hall, organised by ‬Global Grooves. We were collaborating with some wonderful Future Leaders participants, and some distinguished musicians. Initially we were divided into three groups of Persian musicians and trumpet players (melody), drummers, and dancers. Here, we all got together and tried to create something completely new on what we practised earlier. It was an amazing experience to work with highly talented dancers and it was possibly my last artistic activity in 2019.‭ I’m looking forward to further developments of what we achieved on that session, and hopefully some gigs for next year. ‬ Thanks to Holly, Jordan and everyone else for the very productive day.

February 2017 - Kuridala - this once thriving Copper, Gold and Silver mining operation is now a Heritage listed deserted ghost town. If you draw a line across Australia from Townsville to Geraldton, Kuridala during the First World War was the richest town in Australia, north of this line, with close to 2,000 residents in the boom. Situated approximately 80kms south of Cloncurry off the Barkly Highway, Kuridala, originally named Hampden (after the mining company) then Friezland (changed in WW1 due to its German pronunciation) began as a mining smelter in 1906, continuing during the boom until 1919 then in a reduced capacity through to 1928, when operation ceased. Many components of the mine were sold to the fledgling mining Provence of Mount Isa (discovered by John Campbell Miles in 1923). Interesting to note the hospital building in Kuridala was also relocated to Mount Isa. In the 1980’s the last resident left Kuridala and now there is nothing left of the town, just an eerie cemetery and dilapidated remains of the old smelters. During our visit we saw a dingo and kangaroo. It was exciting to explore this abandoned site that only a hundred years earlier was the centre of activity in the region.

Notas de insomnio.

El nihilismo, y una nueva forma de melancolía ante la vida, se la debemos a un grupo de asesinos, que no lo fueron de manera suficiente. De haberlo sido, no habríamos llegado a esa separación brutal entre el cuerpo y el espíritu. No habríamos tenido a Schopenhauer, Hegel, Kierkegaard, Kant, Nietzsche, y de hecho, toda la ciencia moderna, y el deseo de la matematización del conocimiento.

Inquieto, y amante de los viajes, el joven en apariencia tranquilo y amable, se enfrentó al terror de la muerte. En su trayecto a Friezland Oriental, y para no perder tiempo, decide contratar en compañía de su criado, una embarcación que lo llevara sin demora a su destino. Una vez en el mar, supo que aquel grupo de marineros a los que había contratado era un grupo de asesinos. La principal intención de ellos era degollarlo, despojarlo de sus pertenencias y arrojarlo al mar, pues por su criado y la ropa, suponían que era un comerciante. Como los asesinos lo escuchaban hablar en francés, asumieron también que seguramente no pertenecía a aquellos lugares, y que por tanto sería más fácil deshacerse de él sin tener complicaciones.

Pero los asesinos, no estuvieron a la altura,

Tal vez haya sido la sorpresa al descubrir, que pese a que todo el tiempo lo habían escuchado hablar en francés con su criado, al ver que el asesinato que planeaban cometer los marineros no era broma, los encara hablándoles en su mismo idioma. Con la misma agresividad con la que toda su vida perseguiría y acosaría a los alquimistas, se levanta de su asiento, y le hace saber a la tripulación que está dispuesto a defender su vida y a atravesarlos con sus armas. Pero tampoco él cumplió su promesa,  de haberlo hecho nos habríamos salvados de su filosofía, pues habría sido, al regresar, condenado a la horca, o bien, habría tendido que dedicar su vida a ser un prófugo y vagar por mares y bosques escondiéndose.

El valor, la sorpresa, la agresividad, hicieron que los marineros decidieran llevarlo a su destino sin molestarlo.

Esos viajes, esos encuentros, fueron creando en el joven  por aquél entonces de apenas 25 años, su filosofía.

Me imagino a Descartes, lleno de dudas, exclamando como grito de guerra «cogito ergo sum»  mientras los marineros le cercenaban el cuello antes de arrojar ese cuerpo y ese espíritu al agua como una carga estorbosa llena de filosofía. Aunque tuvieron que pasar 17 años para que ante todo el mundo, con esa verdad a prueba de toda duda, Descartes defendiera su existencia, dando un giro al curso de la historia, la ciencia, y la filosofía.
