costa rica, “the rich coast” named upon columbus’ arrival on the atlantic shores prove that some are not so rich any more, in human values that is. who can we blame but ourselves as our society and earth becomes more sophisticated by the second? just last week, a green light for gold mining was given by the court, allowing the destruction of hectares of prestine forests and abuse and contamination of essential resources. what do they care anyway, right? it’s not like they have great grandchildren to look after..

on a calm and breezy afternoon, the mayoreo market in avenida 10 is quite and considerably deserted. located as a secondary entrance to the downtown core from west to east, its neighboring municipality makes this site a prominent landmark; and the other way around of course. i find a mission in me to explore such public spaces, that are not yet public enough; capture them and promote them.

at this point it is almost ridiculous and freakishly strange how strange natural phenomenons are acting on us. i am not superstitious or anything, and am certainly not imposing any of that 2012 stuff (whish has been so popular lately). i am simply cold, in this spring that should be blooming in clear skies and sunshine. as nice as the day was though, with blue skies, and flowers crowdedly blooming on trees, the cold managed to seep through my socks, perforating my skin into a sharp cold feeling. miss the tropics. beaches.

these beautiful days here in beijing are reminding me of home: still nice, just a bit nicer. not too long of a drive from anywhere in costa rica, one is blessed with amazing sights of greenery. these are usually complemented by bright blue skies, with some sort of a variation of clouds that play with the everbright sunlight. the temperature is also perfect.

there was an earthquake just a few kilometers from home. even though i wasn’t really there i was told that this 4.8 magnitude quake felt like a 6 or 7, due to its proximity. as earthquakes in chile continue, it becomes more difficult to understand and accept this phenomenon. all there is to do is to remain calm, if one is in the position to collaborate and help in anyway, give an extra hand.

i had always been sure of how greed and selfishness is part of our nature. it isn’t necessarily a bad thing though, but just a reality. well, i might be going out of line, but it all depends on how you see things. this world moves on a cycle of ‘giving’, where this tree takes nutrients from the earth to give back, however its strong and wise roots dig deep for more as its branches extend and reach high soaking up the sun from anything underneath. the cycle goes on from trees to plants, humans to insects, and so on.
