Be Still D.H. Lawrence
The only thing to be done now, now that the waves of our undoing have begun to strike on us, is to contain ourselves.
To keep still, and let the wreckage of ourselves go, let everything go, as the wave smashes us, yet keep still, and hold the tiny grain of something that no wave can wash away, not even the most massive wave of destiny.
Among all the smashed debris of myself keep quiet, and wait. For the word is Resurrection. And even the sea of seas will have to give up its dead.
[Thank you Poetic Outlaws]

Operation Overlord - D-Day - June 6th 1944
On this day 79 years ago allied troops began landing on beaches in Normandy for the D-Day invasions. The beaches were given the code names UTAH, OMAHA, GOLD, JUNO, and SWORD. The invasion force included 7,000 ships and landing craft manned by over 195,000 naval personnel from eight allied countries. Almost 133,000 troops from the United States, the British Commonwealth, and their allies, landed on D-Day.

Normandía 1. Rutas de Guerra
Playas del Desembarco
Tumblr media
Comienza la ruta en Caen, una agradable ciudad renacida después de 1945, ya que una gran parte de sus edificios resultaron destruidos, se salvaron la Catedral, aunque dañada, el castillo de Guillermo el Conquistador y varias Basílicas románicas. Así que es una ciudad moderna, con un gran canal en el centro de la ciudad con barcos de recreo anclados, y muy cerca las playas del desembarco.

From The Faraway Nearby: “To what extent, in which ways, are you a cannibal, and how careful are you about who you consume? We consume each other in a thousand ways, some of them joys, some of them crimes and nightmares.” The author’s annotation: “Something that’s really important to me is to be clear that madness, criminality, forgetfulness, selfishness, cluelessness are not someone else’s attributes; the question is not who has those qualities but to what degree each of us possess them and how aware are we of that, and how gracefully and maybe compassionately do we try to work with those limits, stains, and sins that are our own, as well as other people’s. There’s such a tendency to render the world in binaries: you’re a paranoid schizophrenic and me over here I’m sane; you have a disease that makes you forget things and my memory is impeccable; you drive a car/eat meat/pay taxes and I am beyond reproach (or situated to reproach you in a left-puritan way). We’re all implicated. But as for the cannibalism, we do live off each other, from mother’s milk to blood transfusions and organ transplants to the way we are all enclosed in a world that is the result of human labor, human making, of clothes, of houses, of food, of systems. Maybe what I’m interested is the ways we consume each other that are gifts rather than thefts, that don’t involve destruction of the body or soul …” [Rebecca Solnit]
