>1st dream<
The place was very dark, a magical cave maybe, like the caves of the witches of the Odyssey ... at the beginning we were together, you and me, but only you could be seen ... under us there was purple fabric, beautifully decorated with Arabic motifs, the same type of fabric that one could find in the houses of the heroes of the Odyssey, the beautiful fabrics that cover the beds of the Homeric characters, because this purple is the colour of nobility.
You were over these magnificent fabrics, almost naked, your body rolling over the bed ... sometimes you came close to me and then you retreated to the dark side of the cave ...
>2nd dream<
I was a great white condor, i was flying above the highest peaks of the mountain, so high that i could see the white mountain tops. The sky was profoundly blue and bright, the horizon was as large as the world. The world of the condors is the world of the highest mountains, the depths of height. In a steep descent I stare at that immensity. I am hungry, the white condor is hungry. Suddenly and without thinking, as obeying confidently an intense reflex i shake my wings and turn quickly and hunt a small white rabbit*, i eat it raw, tearing the flesh with my beak. After this feed i flew back into the blue bright immensity. I woke up.
Those two dreams were sent to me by a chilean poet and friend who lives and works in Japan ...

US concentration camp, Guantanamo
Cuba
© 2001 US Department of Defense
According to US Defence Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, prisoners being held under maximum security at the Guantanamo naval base in Cuba are being treated humanely. I would strongly argue this point as one more piece of propaganda ... this is how it goes ... we are told a lie ... it takes a long time to prove this to be a lie ... by the time we get to the truth, or nobody cares about the matter any longer, or it is totally irrelevant or the interested parties are already dead ... and we keep on going lie upon lie ... this is the cycle of propaganda.
We know as a fact that 2 OZ citizens have been locked in a cage like animals for 2 years in the illegal base the US still holds in Guantanamo Bay in the Republic of Cuba. These men by now don't know what day, month or year it is. They have been chained to a cage, only have 15 minutes twice a week of allowed exercise time and suffer long periods of interrogation*.
Having been in the province of Guantanamo I can say that for parts of the day in summer the weather is unbearable, it is so hot that even if one is almost naked and in front of a fan, the heat is hard to take. I couldn't imagine how hard it is for the prisoners of war in this outdoors concentration camp to survive in a full body suit, with long sleeves, chained, and locked in cages.
Maybe for Mr Rumsfeld this is as humane as it gets ... quite frankly i wouldn't be surprised ...
* I was interrogated as suspect terrorist once, i should say TORTURED ... this interrogation was conducted by personnel of the Chilean Navy, personnel who have been trained in the School of the Americas by American experts ... torture is the rock bottom of abjection ... i have seen low but never lower than torture ... the same that goes on in crimes of a perverted nature goes on in these sessions of interrogation, the only difference is that the STATE is behind ... beasts unleash, there are no limits, what goes on is done under the cloak of IMPUNITY ... in our world, torture is common practice, uncontrolled and unchecked ...
we hear of 'certain things' which are necessary for 'security reasons' ... security can be achieved much better, cheaper and easier if it is supported by the good will of humans, equity and justice that will ever be supported by weapons and torture !
death and torture only bring more death and torture ... like brings like generally ... who are we kidding?
and what happens to those who torture? where do we put them? ... isn't what you do what you are? ... like in 'i am a doctor' ... isn't it? ... i am a torturer ... really?
we need TONS of good will and certainly equity and justice before we can move out from the dirty hole we are digging ourselves into ... this is my humble view ...
God Speaks to Moses
Farid ud-Din Attar
(1119? - 1220?)
from
The Conference of the
Birds
'Visit Satan, question
him, use your head.'
So Moses descended to
hells burning halls;
Satan saw him coming,
a smile did he install
on his fiery face.
Moses proudly asked him
for advice, waiting for
Satan's crafty whim;
Satan spoke through his
coal-black teeth:
'Remember this rule
which sense bequeaths
never say "I" so that
you become like me.'
So long as you live
for yourself you'll be
a drum booming pride
a cymbal of infidelity.
Vanity, resentment,
envy and anger shall be
cemented into your
inner state; you shall
be like a demented dog
with lolling tongue,
infected with indolence
of sin.
You shall become your
own tracked prisoner
within.´
Public answer to an offence and a silly intent to cover it up by a lecture on ZEN spirituality and meditative practices ... i say, hey baby what are you talking about? ... get a grip just don't be rude ...
oh, yes i do like ZEN because there is spirit in all matters ... NEVERTHELESS, i do NOT accept it for my spiritual life ... i have given this issue a great deal of wondering ... at the end of the day, i could have gone for the life of a saint, but to tell you the truth i do really like to have a body ... a body which enjoys pleasure ... i do understand life is painful but we do get more than we pay for ... a body and the possibility of wisdom for pain, anytime! ... what makes life unbearable for so many people is other people, not LIFE !

i feel we gain LIFE in exchange of SOME LEVEL OF PAIN ... maybe i feel this way because i have DNA from Warrior races ... but honestly, it is not to win or to lose the way i see it, at the end of the day, it is about the EARTH ...
as you know me for over 20 years i am bread to bread and wine to wine*, i don't complicate my existence ... to tell you the truth from where i stand the long winded warning about COSTS and time didn't sound very nice ... if one doesn't want to invite then one should not invite but if one would like to invite someone to come over then care needs to be taken to invite decently ...
i am glad in this ordeal we remained friends ... i understand now why in your dream i didn't stay in your arms ... why i retreated to the darkest side of the cave ...

Public
answer to an offence ...
i would like to apologise in the name of humanity
and in public with you, the 2 Andean condors kept at the Adelaide Zoo ...
i hope you are not there any longer ...
Animal liberation has this to say: "Some birds are in aviaries where it is impossible for them to carry out their natural behaviour. At Adelaide Zoo, the aviary for 2 Andean condors appears large. However, considering that these huge birds can have a wingspan of 3 metres, and would normally soar high in the sky on thermal air currents, the enclosure is still too small."
the above statement is not from this year, i should go and check how is the cage looking now ... THE condors' CAGE was the reason i stopped going to the Adelaide Zoo ... so much being carried out at the zoo in terms of renovations and improvements but nothing for the condors ... the cage looked abandoned as if it didn't have anybody inside ... long grasses and total lack of care ... i couldn't stand it ...
i know condors ... in their habitat, in The Andes ... flying against strong currents of wings to land on the edge of the mountain, thousands of metres above ocean level ... cutting the air with sharp powerful flaps of those enormous wings ...
i am very sorry that people could be so strange to put living beings in cages ... what can i say? ... it is done to our own kind ... there is no compassion, and there is very little understanding ... i hope one day you will be sent back to South America because honestly there is no PROPER cage for a condor ...

Et exsultavit spiritus meus in Deo salutari meo.
Quia respexit humilitatem ancillae suae:
ecce enim ex hoc beatam me dicent omnes generationes.
Quia fecit mihi magna qui potens est:
et sanctum nomen eius.
Et misericordia eius a progenie in progenies timentibus eum.
Fecit potentiam in brachio suo:
dispersit superbos mente cordis sui.
Deposuit potentes de sede, et exaltavit humiles.
Esurientes implevit bonis: et divites dimisit inanes.
Suscepit Israël puerum suum,
