Chapter minus 2 – resurface commences

The Latino tradition of mindfulness

The English meditation is derived from the Latin meditatio, from a verb meditari, meaning “to think, contemplate, devise, ponder, meditate” – it’s all Mediterreanean to me…

thinking happens – due to the Curse of Malinche and ecology – Latino thought is speculative, imaginative, magical, shamanic, pontificating, poetic and terrestrial – with a scientific expertise in biology.

contemplation – Roman Catholic, Masonic, ecological, herbal (and therefore hallucinogenic) sporting, drinking wine, sacerdotal, resistant. Liberation Theology to media-induced urban paranoia assuaged by soap operas ‘tele-novelas’

devise – creating, art, literature, strategy, guerrilla warfare, paramilitarism, the orientalism of this is the Mexican stand-off, on the streets of Latin America it is pickpocketting, armed roadblocks (military or other organisations) and ambush… dams , capturing mega-ecologies to strut like cockerels from Dependency Theory – a reaction to Chicago Theory. Drinking Rum and Coca-Cola and working for the Yanqui Dollar

This is the real thing, not the Andrew Sisters, they got sued and lost, like we all know Suzie, yiah…

Ponder – artesanry, various astronomies (from scientific to poetic), heteropian nature including the Stellar Kinematic phenomenon of Runaway Stars close to Antarctica. I ponder that George Lucas should be sued for the name Darth Vader! 😉

Devising sauces – pebre with Australian mint – that sounds tasty.

Homeliness – garden variety, be it favela, to artistic or scientific home. Beyond that is US-Mimickry, “I wanna be white, cause that’s powerful and I laud it over the Indians and darkies”. The streets are fatal “surprises give you life and life gives you surprises”
