"SHE KNOWS": THE TRUTH OF WINNERS AND LOSERS

 THE TRUTH OF WINNERS AND LOSERS

Rather than love, than money, than fame, give me truth. I sat at a table where were rich food and wine in abundance, and obsequious attendance, but sincerity and truth were not; and I went away hungry from the inhospitable board. The hospitality was as cold as the ices. I thought that there was no need of ice to freeze them. They talked to me of the age of the wine and the fame of the vintage; but I thought of an older, a newer, and purer wine, of a more glorious vintage, which they had not got, and could not buy. The style, the house and grounds and "entertainment" pass for nothing with me. I called on the king, but he made me wait in his hall, and conducted like a man incapacitated for hospitality. There was a man in my neighborhood who lived in a hollow tree. His manners were truly regal. I should have done better had I called on him.

Thoreau 


Chief Joseph Hinmton Yalektit (Native American Leader: c. 1840—1904) fought and sought also independence’s truth:
 
“I have asked some of the great white chiefs where they get their authority to say to the Indian that he shall stay in one place, while he sees white men going where they please. They cannot tell me.

Moving north through the mountains of Idaho, Wyoming, and Montana, the Nez Percé under his leadership conducted one of the most brilliant retreats in American history. In three months this band of 700, with fewer than 200 warriors, traveled almost 1,500 miles while fighting off a pursuing army of 2,000.

Chief Joseph had been told that his people would be returned to their lands in Oregon, but instead they were transported to eastern Kansas, and then Oklahoma, where many died from epidemic diseases. He continued to protest their treatment, even traveling to Washington DCin 1879 to meet with President Hayes, but he and the Nez Percé were never permitted to return to their homeland. He died in northeastern Washington State in 1904, and was buried there in exile. https://www.americanswhotellthetruth.org/portraits/chief-joseph-hinmton-yalektit

Today’s truth is not and should not be different for people losing everything but truth to power.

“We the people” ("hold these truths to be"): losing power and independence but-not yet- truth.

AIR/AIRE (1/03/2025+12/07/2025)

"GO FREE OF WHAT YOU HAVE DONE" ("WHAT I AM IS THE WAY HOME"): AIR AND FIRE   Desde mi mujer, casa y campos A los que cuidadosamente he llegado en mi tiempo Entro en la locura del viaje, Lo...

 AIR/AIRE

Este hombre, joven y con orgullo,

vuelve hacia casa con el cielo

oscuro, libre de su carga

de muerte por fuego, de una vida con miedo

de muerte por fuego, en la ciudad

que ahora arde abajo y lejos.

 

Este es un hombre joven, con orgullo;

permanece sobre el alto tallo

del orgullo, solo, con el control de la

explosión por la que vive, uno

de los hijos a los que hemos enseñado

a esperar entretenimiento del horror.

 

Este es un hombre con orgullo, joven

en el trabajo de la muerte. Delante de él

le esperan aquellos hechos ricos por el fuego.

Detrás de él, otro joven 

está ardiendo; un hombre divino

cuelga de un árbol. 

WB (traducción Guillermo Ruiz)

Iba a decir solo que todos los pensamientos que tienen consecuencias son siempre simples. Mi único pensamiento es que,puesto que los depravados se unen y constituyen una fuerza, la gente honesta solo necesita hacer lo mismo. Es así de simple.

El modo de ser de nuestra vida, nuestro ser-así, es nuestro arsenal, y de él nos crecen las armas cuando tenemos necesidad de ellas.

Algunos poemas son para las vacaciones solo. Son educados y dulces, pero se trata de la dulzura del azúcar, y no de aquella que el esfuerzo da al pan amargo. El aliento con el que el poeta pronuncia su verso debe ser aquél por el cual él vive.

¿INDEPENDENCIA?

Mi vida es más cívica y libre
que cualquier cuerpo político.

Guarda príncipe tus posesiones
y tu poder circunscrito,
no son tan amplios como mis sueños,
ni tan ricos como esta hora.

¿Qué me ofreces que yo no tenga?
¿Qué puedes tomar de lo que tengo?
¿Puedes defender lo que no tiene peligro?
¿Puedes heredar la desnudez?

El oído de los tiempos es sordo a todas la necesidades verdaderas,
los estados estériles no proporcionan ningún alivio con su botín
-pero un alma libre –gracias a Dios-
puede ayudar por sí misma.

Asegúrate de que tu destino
queda aparte de su estado
-no ligado con cualquier banda-
incluso los nobles de la tierra
en campamentos con vestido de oro
no ocuparán en él ningún lugar
porque tiene más señorío que ellos.
Y busca una guerra más noble.
una melodía más hermosa resuena en su trompeta,
un reflejo más brillante irradia su armadura.

La vida a la que aspiro
nadie me la propone-
ningún trato en el comercio público
utiliza su marca.

HENRY DAVID THOREAU

(Traducción Guillermo Ruiz)


¿INDEPENDENCE?

My life more civil is and free
Than any civil polity.

Ye princes keep your realms
And circumscribed power,
Not wide as are my dreams,
Nor rich as is this hour.

What can ye give which I have not?
What can ye take which I have got?
Can ye defend the dangerless?
Can ye inherit nakedness?

To all true wants time’s ear is deaf,
Penurious states lend no relief
Out of their pelf
-But a free soul -thank God-
Can help itself.

Be sure your fate
Doth keep apart its state
—Not linked with any band—
Even the nobles of the land
In tented fields with cloth of gold—
No place doth hold
But is more chivalrous than they are.
And sigheth for a nobler war.
A finer strain its trumpet rings—
A brighter gleam its armor flings.

The life that I aspire to live
No man proposeth me-
No trade upon the street
Wears its emblazonry.

"Here swims one whose name was writ in water" (To David Popovici)

Improve every opportunity to express yourself in writing, as if it were your last.

Journal, 17 December 1851

 

 

Let me lie 

in my swim strokes

before I reach 

any ground 

They are made of truth

They are earth, water,

air and fire

and the beauty of a trout

you killed

long time ago

 

Let me lie

in my swim strokes

I will not render

my paddle

I will not embark

any boat

but my own

Before I reach

any shore

let me lie

in my swim strokes
