Parasailing At Playacar Beach — Photo Essay 3 comments
Thirteen family members were able to spend a week at Sandos Playacar Beach Resort in Playa del Carmen.
Chase and James were able to do some parasailing while others watched along the shore.
Chase and James stand together for some photo-ops while the jet-sky was readied to take them out to the parasailing boat.
Jill takes a photo of Justin, Chase and James with Abby and Jerri walking nearby.
A big splash as they head toward the parasailing boat.
They’re off, with a cargo ship and hotels on the island of Cozomel in the background.
Up, up and away.
A few passing clouds provide a backdrop.
Chase and James are pulled back toward the boat.

El Rapido Wall Poster — Image by kenne
Mexico
I parted
like a note divided
in search of itself.
I looked
in the colors of night
for day’s shadows.
I hunted
rivers lights
in old dreams.
Double essence so closely bound
tightrope of my natural order.
Mexico.
Sometimes I think of you
on afternoons like this
An old distress comes over me.
Serch for paths of earth
at the edge of the depth.
On warm banks
blue-feathered herons
cultivate red pearls.
There is no time for weeping
if you are to live in me.
Memories were never
the liquid measure of love.

The Path Of Dreams 2 comments
“Sonoran Heat” — Computer Painting by kenne
The Path of Dreams
There were no trails where I walk.
I walk the desert, poor and broke
thinking of family in Mexico.
Continuing north, I make a path
around the cactus and desert brush.
The sun, still low in the east,
temperature now rising faster
than the morning sun.
Low in water, I find an
old mesquite tree to rest
in its shade until late afternoon.
Then, I will continue following
the path of my dreams —
carefully watching for
green and white trucks.

Gallery Wall In Alamos, Sonora Leave a comment
Mexican Masks On Gallery Wall In Alamos (January 27, 2016) – Computer Art by kenne
Masks represent the Mexican people’s personality — not revealing themselves to another, even to their self.
“persistent, flowing through fallen shadows,
excavating tunnels, drilling silences,
insisting, running under my pillow,
brushing past my temples, covering my eyelids
with another, intangible skin made of air,
its wandering nations, its drowsy tribes
migrate through the provinces of my body,
it crosses, re-crosses under the bridges of my bones,
slips into my left ear, spills out from my right,
climbs the nape of my neck,
turns and turns in my skull,
wanders across the terrace of my forehead,
conjures visions, scatters them,
erases my thoughts one by one
with hands of unwetting water,
it evaporates them,
black surge, tide of pulse-beats,
murmur of water groping forward
repeating the same meaningless syllable,
I hear its sleepwalking delirium
losing itself in serpentine galleries of echoes,
it comes back, drifts off, comes back,
endlessly flings itself
off the edges of my cliffs,
and I don’t stop falling
and I fall”
― Octavio Paz

One afternoon while in Alamos we all met where Tucson’s Ronstadt Generations was staying to listen to a fabulous seventy-five year old harmonica player, Rafael Figueroa Ju. His appearance was a beautiful example of organized spontaneity.

Alamos Street Dog 1 comment
Alamos Street Dog — Computer Art by kenne
On early morning walks
down the narrow
streets of Alamos
I saw the street dog
patiently waiting by the door
seeming to know her place,
her sad eyes
piercing my soul
occasionally lifting her ears
to my enter thoughts,
looking away lost in longing —
I wanted to reinvent the moment
opening her prison door.

Mayo Woman in Alamos, Sonora, Mexico — Grunge Art by kenne
You inhabit
endless days
in no room
by the wood burning
barrel stove
To know
the old traditions
making tacos
not just any taco —
garbanzo bean
flour tortilla tacos
Seeing faces
passing in the clouds
as hands touch
with casual certainty
the heat of the fire

Hacienda de los Santos Entrance — Images by kenne
Jim and Nancy Swickard purchased the 300-year-old Hacienda in 1989 and renovation became their obsession. Along with daughter Jamie, her husband Ramon their devotion to details has helped create a truly luxurious hideaway with a genuine flavor of Old Mexico. Without question, Hacienda de los Santos is the crown jewel of Alamos, one of Mexico’s most splendid colonial cities. Once you enter this colonial village, you’ll experience the feeling of a different age, the romanticism of Spain and the sweetness of Old Mexico.

Ah, Beautiful Agave — Again, Begin Again 12 comments

Ah, beautiful agave
under Mexican skies,
soul of future mystical visions,
spirit nectar of Jose Cuervo —
that first tequila night
kissed with a little salt and lime
together we had a good time
staring at the velvet nude
above the tequila bottles
in a dusty border bar.
