Entre medio la censura, el facismo y genocidio, se me van los días observando estas hermosas cuncunas. Ya salió la primera mariposa ayer

“We sing because we must… like the robin, we sometimes sing to show how strong we are, and we sometimes sing in hope of better times. We sing either way.”

por eso sigo cantando

Starting the semester con frío, nieve y mucho ánimo.

Photograph showing snowy landscape at a small college campus. Snow covered walkways, earth, benches, and frozen lake. The sun is setting and trees are bare against the blue sky.

Día de trabajo para mi, feriado para la nena. To the library we go.

Front entrance to public library. There is a statue of a girl reading to a boy on a log, surrounded by an encircled garden of flowers and bushes that are drying in preparation for winter.

A tale of two statues. While doing fieldwork in Valle del Aconcagua, Chile earlier this year, I visited the statue “La temporera” dedicated to the mujer temporera of the valley. A month later I was in Sitges, Catalunya and encountered statue “La noia de la malvasía.”

Statue of a temporera fruit picker made of dark metal material in an open park space. The figure wears a skirt, long sleeved shirt, and handkerchief on her hair. She is carrying bag with stone fruit and right arm is raised with a fruit in her hand. It is sunny, blue sky with the backdrop of Andes mountains. Plaque of the statue with its name “La temporera,” location of Putaendo, and year 2020. Bronze statue of a female grape picker standing on stones with a plaque. The figure wears a dress, handkerchief on head, holds a basket of grapes with one arm, the other arm is raised holding grapes. Backdrop of green grass, sidewalk, palm trees, and boats in the distance. Front view of grape picker statue with a tile plaque that has inscription translated to “También las chicas llevan unos jerseys claros y delgados cuando vuelven de la viña con los primeros vinos” by poet Trinitat Catasús.
