After a week of raining, in the the first sunny day, i went in the woods for a walk. I was at the top of the hill, feeling the warmth of the sun on my skin. I decided to follow a boar’s path that was going down the slope where, at the bottom, there was a ravine. I was near a ditch when i saw the earth spit out water all around me.

https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F65465ef5-2701-4054-aa2a-d378b3f2060d_4320x3240.jpeg

I arrived at the edge of the ditch, and climbed myself in. In it there was water, going down to the ravine.

https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F2893767a-a336-4c2e-8081-5e2f2aee5426_4320x3240.jpeg

I followed the stream and then, from another ditch on the left, near a rock, the water came in red.

https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F756727ca-ea2d-41cf-85ee-038b38b64068_4320x3240.jpeg

The red is the iron that the rock release with the help of the water. I kept going down and finally i arrived at the ravine. In there, there was a red river.

The earth was pouring out water. The mud was wet and red.

I’ve followed the stream and found myself near the main road. I turned to the wood and took a path to the top of the hill. Near the top i found a hole in a rock and red water that came out.

https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F96bdb36b-1566-4dda-8bd6-4dfe5c2575f4_4320x3240.jpeg

This is a land where in the past century there was an intense mining activity. The last mine closed in the 1990, not so long ago. But the old man, the vey old, remember this creek clean, the red came with the mine. But there is a beauty to see the water flush out red from the earth and the rocks, an intense red, it’s exiting.

Wintertime love

In the desert

I saw a creature, naked, bestial,

Who, squatting upon the ground,

Held his heart in his hands,

And ate of it.

I said, “Is it good, friend?”

“It is bitter—bitter,” he answered;

“But I like it

“Because it is bitter,

“And because it is my heart.”

What's your favourite 'Santana' Song?

i like black magic woman, and the album abraxas a lot.

Got a Black Magic Woman
Got a Black Magic Woman
I've got a Black Magic Woman
Got me so blind, I can't see
That she's a Black Magic Woman
She's trying to make a Devil outta me
