Terminamos con el work hard. Un finde con muchos motivos para celebrar, pero apaciguado por el cansancio y las nubes negras. Y opte por "ausente de las cosas, dejarlo todo, para ella"  it wasn't hard though.

Anoche estuve super contento pues estuve siempre feliz.  Fue una noche especial.

Nuevamente me animo a hacer algo que no he hecho por mucho tiempo. Escribir es un placer apaciguado por muchos factores, y en mi caso se debe a la falta de practica. Y de ganas, y un poco de voluntad tambien.  Let's get started. Que las ideas fluyan y pueda escribir lo que mi mente quiera. Y tambien un poco de descripcion.

Today I finally finished with the two credit sessions. I am happy but at the same time, I am kinda tired. Did I do a good job? I don't know, maybe. Only my students know.

Hoy se asoma fiesta, y compartir mas tiempo con un ser muy querido. One week more and I am done. Y despues, Concordia College. I am pretty excited.  Me asusta el frio, pero gradualmente espero acostumbrarme. Digamos que empieza una nueva vida, we'll see what is happening.

Y bueno, esto al menos es un comienzo. Quiero y aspiro ser mas constante, aunque casi nadie me lea. Para los mas cercanos. Un abrazo

Yaje

Yajé, a hallucinogenic substance, has been employed for centuries by the indigenous populations of South America, within a mystic and religious context. Recently, the use of yajé has spread from indigenous communities and permeated urban areas, acquiring a different meaning and special characteristics. The motivations for using yajé within an urban context are explored in this study. 

It was found that the primary motivations in this group for the repeated use of yajé were those of a therapeutic kind at an emotional level, where the subject hopes by taking yajé to reach psychic well-being, characterised by feelings of tranquillity, inner peace and mental clarity, in addition to the ability to resolve
personal problems and find alternatives to dealing with personal situations

On education

Eventually Education has failed.  It has brought about people who have change the world into a battle field.  It has formed a man with a desire of power and wealth, which inevitably generate selfish and greed.  Education has shaped a man who invented frontiers, flags, anthems and soldiers.
