A Story

 


This is my story. Yours is your own and distinct. And yet we are both human. So they may ultimately be the same. 


People talk of free will and fate. What do we know?


We experience (that seems to be the part that is, the raw material). Then we create a story from our experience (that seems to be the part that is malleable, forever changing). 


We dance with mystery. Receiving and giving-- a call and response.

Cien Años De Soledad

 

Whoever the decision makers are behind Netflix projects in Latin America have been on a tear in recent years-- empowering beautiful, endemic artistry and storytelling.




The newly released screen adaptation of One Hundred Years of Solitude is a particular coup in that regard, one that was achieved by promising the family of Gabriel García Márquez a production that, like the book, would be entirely Colombian.

Off Piste

 




ravening ones

led beyond "safety"

beyond "comfort" 


gentle tip of elephants trunk

drinking rarified air 

above a cataract of clouds


held in thrall

beyond bounds

sighing the sigh of the prodigal
