#poem, A Collaboration: Gabriela Marie Milton and Francisco Bravo Cabrera
The Road by Francisco Bravo Cabrera and Gabriela Marie Milton
The road bends furtively round the passing years,
avoiding those who stubbornly remain,
like a mouse caught in a maze…
The silent path curls back on itself,
Like those who linger lost,
within the flames of our Spanish maze.
Like a ribbon pulled by unseen hands,
The road carries the weight of hopeful smiles
as it gently crosses desert sands…
dreams unfurl in the hush of distant days
a snake coils on my arm
a silken thread torn from a kiss
I’ve walked it under silver skies,
waiting for the morning’s gentle rain,
whispering your name…
Echoes of a touch that never happened,
longing swallowed by memory, I cannot remember why,
the ache of what will always be
Some days the road just seems too long to bear,
If your body remains far from sight,
while I’m dreaming of your soft skin in the night…
White turns reddish pink amid the night
Sands cover their eyes— desires flame
untouched by rhyme.
And though the winds of longing may have changed my stride,
as other roads crossed mine from time to time,
the only road that leads to you forever winds…
Yet in the hush between each step and sigh,
Between my blood and yours
my lips untouched
So here I stand, where journeys start and end,
where all the scattered moments meet.
the road has led me to your heart again
Where our love was born from sand and tombs
from futures that may not exist
The road that led me to your heart again
it has no end.

#art, Pensando en Picasso – Thinking of Picasso
I have been pondering on the ridiculous accusations hurled at Pablo Picasso by the puritanical…and dictatorial…progressive class of the 21st Century. It is amazing at the lengths they go to try to control, judge and impose their morality upon us all! It is important not to judge Pablo Picasso by the moral standards of our time, as he lived and created within a very different social and cultural context. While his personal relationships were complex and sometimes controversial, many accounts suggest he maintained deep emotional connections with the women in his life and, always sought to support and protect them within the norms and expectations of his era. Really, the new left is the most far right thing I have ever seen…

Ya que los liberales y progresistas del Siglo 21…estos moralistas y puritanos…quieren controlar, de forma dictatorial, a todos e imponernos sus locuras y la filosofía de lo «correcto políticamente», digo yo: Es importante no juzgar a Pablo Picasso según los estándares morales de nuestra época, ya que vivió y creó en un contexto social y cultural muy distinto. Aunque sus relaciones personales fueron complejas y a veces controvertidas, muchos testimonios indican que mantuvo vínculos emocionales profundos con todas las mujeres de su vida y que, siempre las apoyó y protegió, y ninguna se quejó.

Art History Part VI: Filippo Brunelleschi (Eng/Esp)
Filippo Brunelleschi (1377–1446)… This Florentine artist, architect and engineer is regarded as one of the key pioneers of the Renaissance. He was trained as a goldsmith… But he revolutionized architecture through his study of classical Roman forms and his development of linear perspective, which is a mathematical system for representing three-dimensional space on a flat surface. He is most famous for the dome of the Cattedrale di Santa Maria del Fiore (Cathedral of Saint Mary of the Flower of Florence. The dome demonstrated unprecedented technical ingenuity and symbolized a rebirth of ancient knowledge combined with bold innovation… His breakthroughs helped spark a broad cultural transformation, therefore he is though of having «invented» the Renaissance. He reintroducedclassical principles of proportion, harmony, and realism, and influenced artists like Leonardo da Vinci, and laid the groundwork for a new artistic and intellectual movement. His work drifted far and away from medieval traditions and toward a revived interest in humanism, science, and the achievements of antiquity.

Filippo Brunelleschi (1377–1446)… Arquitecto e ingeniero florentino, uno de los grandes pioneros del Renacimiento. Formado como orfebre, revolucionó la arquitectura al estudiar las formas clásicas romanas y desarrollar la perspectiva lineal, un sistema matemático para representar el espacio tridimensional en una superficie plana. Su obra más famosa, la cúpula de la Catedral de Florencia, Cattedrale di Santa Maria del Fiore, demostró una innovación técnica sin precedentes y simbolizó el renacimiento del conocimiento antiguo combinado con ideas nuevas… Un tio totalmente fuera de serie, se dice que Brunelleschi “inventó” el Renacimiento porque sus avances impulsaron una transformación cultural más amplia. Al reintroducir principios clásicos como la proporción, la armonía y el realismo—e influir en artistas como Leonardo da Vinci—sentó las bases de un nuevo movimiento artístico e intelectual. Su obra marcó un cambio decisivo desde las tradiciones medievales hacia un renovado interés por el humanismo, la ciencia y la antigüedad clásica.
