UNE ROSE ET MILTON De toutes les générations de roses Qui dans le ciel du temps se sont perdues Je veux que de l'oubli une se sauve, Une sans marque ou signe entre les choses Qui ont été. Le destin me confère Ce don de nommer pour la première Fois cette fleur silencieuse, la dernière Que Milton de son visage approcha Sans la voir. Ô toi, jaune ou vermeille, ou Blanche rose d'un jardin effacé, Laisse magiquement tout ton passé Immémorial et brille dans mes vers. Ivoire, sang ou or, ô ténébreuse Comme en ses mains, ô invisible rose.

(Jorge Luis Borges, El Otro, el mismo, 1964) (traduit de l'espagnol - Argentine - par Jean Pierre Bernès et Nestor Ibarra)

#Climbing the #Imbabura #Volcano in #Ecuador is a great #challenge for those who love #trekking and want to touch the sky at 4650 m. (15'200 ft). A moderate to hard #hike that can be the perfect #training to #climb higher Volcano as the #Cotopaxi or #Chimborazo. Faire l'ascension du #Volcan Imbabura en #Equateur est un bon challenge pour ceux qui aiment la #Randonnée et veulent toucher le ciel à 4640m. #Rando de catégorie moyenne à difficile qui peut être un excellent #entraînement pour l'ascension d'autres volcans comme le Cotopaxi ou le Chimborazo #climbVolcano #volcanoClimbing #ascensionVolcan #volcanImbabura #imbaburaVolcano #cotacachi #ibarra #hiking #mountain #moutainClimbing #volcanoes #southAmerica #travelsouthamerica #travelEcuador #activeCouple #acclimatation (à Imbabura Volcano)

Mille couleurs à Caracas pour la grande marche de la fierté LGBTI

See on Scoop.it - Venezuela

Ce dimanche 2 juillet 2017, Caracas avait revêtu de multiples couleurs pour célébrer le mois de la diversité sexuelle, un mouvement qui s’est fortifié grâce aux nouveaux espaces et aux lois anti-discriminations mises en place à partir de l’élection de Hugo Chavez. Partie de la Plaza Venezuela, remontant les avenues Libertador, México, Bolívar la marche a conflué vers l’immense salle de concerts gratuits à ciel ouvert qu’est devenue la Place Diego Ibarra. La majorité des médias du Venezuela et du monde entier font d’une insurrection de droite animée par la violence raciste et le mépris de classe un « peuple résistant à la répression » et attribuent systématiquement ses victimes au « régime ». Cette manipulation s’opère de deux manières : dans les plans serrés de manifestants entraînés par les paramilitaires colombiens qui provoquent les forces de l’ordre pour obtenir un énième cliche de la répression, mais aussi et surtout par l’omission du hors-champ de la société vénézuélienne qui ne participe pas à ses violences et les rejette. Ce hors-champ, le voici, parmi tant d’autres possibles : une concentration de lesbiennes, gays, bisexuels, transgenres et transsexuels scandant “Vive la sexodiversité avec une identité pour chacun”.

Young Karmen .R. Méndez (Sonia's mother)

loved singing, her work and practice had given her an opportunity to sing w/a traveling opera tour down from her home city of Mexíco to Rio, Brazil. Her family didn't care for her passion, as long as it paid for their bills. Karmen was born the 9th child from a family of 13 kids ,having a high demand florist for a mother as well as a well-known landscaper as her father in a rich part of the city.

She was having the time of her life, very content traveling city to city, town to town ,singing her top favorite songs for hundreds of people until she entered her 2nd to last show in Colombia. Out of every other city she had performed, She gotten to be asked out by a tall and Sun-shine kind man. The other men she rejected were too...spoiled but He was different, more...in touch with his feelings, he was Soft but strong. She gave him a chance after waving welcomly from the crowd of the festival.

Ciel .F.B. Ibarra (Sonia's Papa)

was born in the same village where his best friend, Pedro Madrigal, lived too. He was an only child to his father, Tristàn Barr who was French/Scottish man who stowed away from his country to work as a Blacksmith and to his mama, Lorena Ibarra, a sweet Colombian coffee Bean farmer.

Ciel had always been friendly face around his village & helpful hand when he is needed around his mama's field or his dad's workshop. His dad taught him how to speak French & Gaelic. Similar to his dad, He inherited his dad's ginger hair, his freckles & body build. Tristàn also taught him how to fight & defense for any situation. His mama taught him how to be strong and open about his feelings in the mind & body also how to treat a woman right when he meets the one.

Ciel loved to work on his guitar,exploring the forest, trying out clay & carving when He knew blacksmithing wasn't for him. It gave him & Pedro spend more time together, being best friends since their early teens. When Karmen's show first arrived to his village, He was in awe how Karmen sang & how beautifully mysterious she was. Some of the village girls would throw themselves at him but Karmen made him feel lighter & at ease.(His hair turns more brown as he gets older)

(Late) Encantober Day 3: Tragedy

*Bruno & Sonia's dad, Ciel, are having a important private talk at the back of his workshop*

-Ciel: To this day, I'm still sorry I wasn't able to help Pedro during the siege. Your father told me to make sure You kids, Alma, & Karmen crossed the river. *sighs,tears start watering his eyes* The moment...he fell, I wanted to rush over & grab him before he was finished but your candle's light pushed us away before I could. *looks at Bruno* I know Pedro would've been happy to know you three & Alma are thriving.

Sonia & Ciel Family Pottery Shop- Styles & Designs

I finally got around Designing pottery for Sonia & her Dad's pottery Shop. They come in four different Colors & Styles of vases, plates, bowls, pitchers & pots. Sonia uses her mother's dried up flowers, plants, fruits, herbs, & minerals to make the paint to glaze & paint the pottery. On occasion, she asks Bruno for unwanted visions to add something extra to the mix of clay. I'm sure their business is never boring when it comes to special custom commissions. Each potter have their own style & they want to share to their customers.

I thank @prophetic-hijinks for the inspiration drive after drawing Sonia & the plate design PropheticHijinks beautifully designed
