No Judge in the Jungle

The world is complex and confusing. Yes. But so is the wonderful garden of this magical house tonight in Washington DC. A Cuban intellectual lives here surrounded by an intricate mess of the most incredible things: rare books, African masks, taxidermies, glasses of all colors often broken, tribal artifacts from all over the world, ancien maps, a collection of pen holders, instruments, antique chairs, Jerome Bosh posters, and who knows what hidden secrets underneath it all. An semi-orderly chaos in a 3 story town house which has been renovated by his daughter Maya, a genius architect nursing her baby, speaking French, and building magical gong machines. She takes care of it all. And she’s opened her entire the house for people coming to march. People she knows and people she doesn’t. Tonight the house was filled with people from Boston, LA, South Africa, France, Cuba, Mexico, Brooklyn, and more. No age, gender or race made a difference. We all ate home made pasta, after devouring an improvised cheese buffet with wines from Italy California, Argentina, we 360 filmed each other’s, we watched 2 babies play on the floor and we heard Ricardo tell his past as a doctor in Paris and that possibility maybe he knew Levi-Strauss…. So if you ask me how the fuck we deal with the current world’s mess? Well, I’ll quote guru Amma’s three words “LIVE LOVE LAUGH”, because there’s nothing to explain or try to control by “understanding” chaos. Chaos IS life. Let’s embrace it. Let’s speak up our exact nature. And I’ll quote Amma again who describes the world like the jungle she grew up in. Paraphrasing… there was all kinds of animals, some kind, some mean, some weak, some strong, some small and furless, or long, some tall and flying, some sleeping, hurting, buzzing, some dying, some drinking, some laughing, bitting or nesting. You don’t judge a jungle, you learn to like the whole thing because it makes it what it is. Let’s love the moment in all its “crazymess” because to me, the real world is showing its true face. Tonight was a jungle and tomorrow we are all marching. #womensmarch2016 #allone #allnature #wemarch #jungleland #allraces #minorities #forgive #livelovelaugh #women #water
