Summer Solstice

This entry comes a bit late 

but on Wednesday I was dealing with some technical issues

and it's not until today that I can finally make the post.

On Wednesday June 20, 2012 was Summer Solstice, the longest day of the year

and the 1st day of summer.

One of my favorites.

I left work early enough to grab Pia

and head to the banks of the Hudson River

to see the sunset.

It was SPECTACULAR.

It was tranquil,
there was a breeze (even though we reached high record temperatures last week)

and the ray of colors was a treat for the eye.

I recorded the last 3 minutes of the sunset
as a reminder of those gifts that nature gives us and often we take for granted
and for you, in case you didn't have a chance to see it.

Happy Week!

(the splendor was such that
in the video it seems as if the sun was still out
but it was not...)

Last few weeks...

I am back to my

wondering and feeling restless.

I am enormously grateful for everything I have 

and for the leisure of having 4 months of relatively

calmness and stability.

However, I am again not sleeping

and am fiercely trying to figure out what is next -

which I believe it will be a significant move/change in my life.

Due to this state of mind 

I don't feel too inspired for the blog.

That said, 

NYC is showering us with a wonderful weather

and I have had great moments

with friends, Pia and my camera

over the last few weeks....

I even changed my look!

La Leyenda del Tiempo

I apologize in advance to my english speaking readers...

but this ought to be a post in Spanish 
since it's a tribute to 

Camaron de la Isla.

Desde que se fue ilosabes y me introdujo al maestro del flamenco,

Camarón deleita mis días.

De todos lo momentos que paso inmersa en la voz y fuerza de Camarón

el mas especial es al salir de la boca del metro de  Penn Station,

en pleno corazón de Manhattan, a las 9:30 de la mañana

camino al curro.

Son aproximadamente 10 minutos

en los que navego el ajetreo new yorkino de calles, gente, 
coches y puestos de comida

 absorta en sus canciones.

Es un estar sin estar.

Una sensación de pertenecer pero sin perderte.

No me voy a complicar porque todos sabéis a lo que me refiero.

Es esa sensación mágica que te produce la música

especialmente cuando das con “esa canción.”

Gracias Camarón

por producir momentos mágicos

a lo largo de mi día.

Feliz semana a tod@s.

Happy Weekend

Strawberry Moon

A perfect combination that deserves to be the topic of today's post.

Strawberry Moon: A Native American name for the moon during the short strawberry harvesting season.

This was our moon this morning.

In NASA terms, a full moon partial lunar eclipse.

(viewable from California)

Astrologically speaking, Lunar Eclipses are about relationships and polarities. 

In particular, today's eclipse is about communication, attitude, and our sense of adventure.  

For those of us who are interested in this stuff, 

the stars tell us that June 4th, 2012 Lunar Eclipse presses us to look more closely at our needs, lacks, and wants in our lives concerning the balance between Gemini-ruled and Sagittarius ruled areas of life. 

The Gemini represents the lower mind and the Sagittarius the higher mind.

The Gemini Sun encourages us to think logically.

The Sagittarius Moon persuades us to intuit and to think in a broader manner.

Sagittarius symbolizes the quest for meaning and ideas that go beyond the here and now.

Gemini is comfortable in his/her immediate environment.

Sagittarius stimulates us to venture beyond it.

If you b-day is around Jan 4 or Feb 19, Feb 3, Mar 4, Apr 3 or 18, May 4, Jul 5 or 21, August 6, Oct 6 or 22, Nov 6, Dec 5, you will definitely have an emotional response to this Lunar Eclipse.
