Se suceden los días receptivos en Osa, más aptos para percibir, sentir y leer que para analizar, pensar y escribir. Todo esto siempre va de la mano en procesos dialécticos y continuos: percibir-inferir, sentir-pensar, leer-escribir. Es apenas un asunto de énfasis: vivo días más contemplativos que creativos.

Recogimos semillas, las trajimos al jardín y las sembramos en una maceta. Brotaron y empezaron a crecer. Hasta hace doce días continuaban creciendo … Continue reading Flor de Vida
Tagore’s “Stream of Life” in My Garden
As sanitary confinement continues to be recommended in my city of San José and I stay home, I have turned to observe ever more carefully the minute details of living nature in my garden. I have discovered new beauties. For example, I often appreciate the various species of orchids, the red passionflower, the magenta and … Continue reading Tagore’s “Stream of Life” in My Garden
