AVES DE PLAYA CERRITOS

Algunas de las aves que pude fotografiar en Cerritos, Baja california Sur. Muchas son aves migratorias que llegan del norte del continente a México, durante el invierno. Esta época era justo diciembre.

En el orden en que aparecen, creo que son:

ASÍ HABLABA QUETZALCOATL

Limpia tu mente y todo se limpiará.

Le decían:

¿Cómo sabremos qué nos enseña el

atardecer, y cómo nos enseña la mañana

y cómo nos trae conocimientos cualquier

circunstancia?

Y él así contestaba:

Cada cosa fuera de ti es un espejo donde

te miras. Si la nube de la angustia llena el

horizonte de tu corazón, verás una nube

de angustia en cada corazón. Si la calma

viene a sentarse en medio de tu pecho,

verás que cada uno también lleva sentada

la calma en su pecho. Si tu cabeza es la

guarida donde se esconden pensamientos

de odio, de rencor o de envidia, cuando

camines por las calles y las plazas de la

vida sólo verás pasar por ellas al Odio, y

sentado en las bancas al Rencor, y en

cada esquina a la Envidia.

Y dirás:

¡Desearía volar más allá de esta ciudad

porque está contaminada y quisiera salir

de esta casa, para sentir el campo limpio

y su Pureza!

Y yo te digo:

Limpia tu mente y todo se limpiará.

Limpia tu corazón y todo se limpiará.

Limpia tu cuerpo y todo estará limpio.

Ignorante es aquél que, viendo lo de

fuera sucio, no se da cuenta de su

suciedad y dice: Me adentraré en mi

corazón para limpiar mi templo,

porque el altar de mi semejante está

sucio y su luz atenuada. Ignorantes

son aquellos que pretenden limpiar

su templo en el templo de los demás,

y todos los días y todas las noches

de su existencia piensan que el mal

está fuera de ellos y no en su corazón.

Mira los centzontles y mira los jilgueros

y mira el cocoztli, ¿quién podría decirles:

tu canto no es armónico?

Mira los sauces, y los ocotes, y los

ahuehuetes ¿quién podría decirles: tu

crecimiento no es armónico? ¿Cómo

entonces, podría decirse esto del hombre?

¡Cuánto aprendería un espíritu crítico

si supiera que se está criticando en

voz alta a sí mismo, cuando critica a

alguien! Cada cosa tiene su lugar, y

cada uno tiene su camino. Sólo aquél

que no lo conoce sigue los caminos de

otros, hasta que al fin, encuentra el suyo.

¡Bendito el día en que lo encuentra, porque

ese día ha nacido de nuevo! Sólo a partir

de ese momento le dirán algo los

atardeceres, le dirán algo las mañanas,

y le hablarán las flores. Empezará a caminar

con la Naturaleza, y su lengua será como

la de los pajarillos, sus manos serán

como ríos, y sus ojos serán la Vida que

mira a la vida.

6 Surprising Secrets To Discover On The Mayan Riviera

There’s much to do in Tulum  (iStock)

Looking for a Mexican getaway without the spring break style crowds? Boutique hotels, restaurants, dress shops, and yoga await in the ultra-chic village of Tulum, Mexico.

The village, once inhabited by the Mayans, has no electricity and is powered by solar energy and generators. For decades, yogis and tourists have been flocking to the region to see the historic Mayan Ruins. Today, Tulum has grown into a world-reknown vacation destination with over seventy boutique hotels and dozens of top rated restaurants.

Ruta Uleviciute, a partner at a local Tulum real estate agency, Maya Property Consultants, tells FoxNews.com, “Tulum, once a small fishermen’s village known for its white sandy beaches and turquoise sea, has now blossomed into a magic, hip place with a laid-back relaxing atmosphere. The biggest task is to keep the development under control and construct more eco development to preserve the nature and the spirit of Tulum, which is the main reason why we all love Tulum so much.” 

Here are six surprising reasons to check out this Mexican village off the beaten path. 

1. Hidden fine dining: Restaurant in a secret garden

Cenzontle

Several storefronts down from the famed eatery, Hartwood, is one of Tulum’s best kept secrets. Cenzontle, opened by Ivan Angeles, is tucked away in the jungle behind a secret garden and iron gate. Cenzontle features a constantly changing menu influenced by different regions around the globe and uses local ingredients.

Cenzontle is old-vibe Tulum, Angeles says. Ive been here long enough to know the energy to say that. At Cenzontle we expect long sittings, which is why we always have good music playing and a great team of servers and bartenders. Thats the kind of experience people deserve when visiting Tulum. Cenzontle is one of the few restaurants in Tulum that sources meat locally (most restaurants fly frozen meat in from California and South America). The restaurant has its own craft beer, Cerveza Centzontle, one of the only local beers in Tulum. 

2. Hidden hangout:A beautiful beach for all

Alma Tulum

Most hotel beach clubs in Tulum are closed to the public. Opened this year, the eco beach hotel, Alma Tulum has one of Tulums only beach clubs open to all guests. It’s also one of the most scenis beachfronts on the Tulum coast. The club is open from 8a .m. until 10p.m., every day of the year weather permitting.  

3. Hidden romance: Secret spot to see a sunset

Mateo’s Mexican Grille

Visit Mateos Mexican Grille for the low-key sunset lounge located on top of the restaurant and bar that offers panoramic views of Tulum. Enjoy the sun setting over the Mexican jungle and the Caribbean. 

4. Hidden hideaway: Haute hotels

Hotel Jashita

Located on a private drive about twenty minutes north of downtown Tulum, Hotel Jashita is a serene oasis on the ocean tucked away from village crowds. With two pools and an outdoor restaurant where you might spot an iguana or two, Jashita includes complimentary breakfast, snorkeling, and kayaking with your stay.

Rosa del Viento is one of the oldest hotels in Tulum and is the furthest south on Tulums main street. Close to Tulums wildlife reserve, Rosa del Viento is miles away from any crowds and offers plenty of peace for guests. Rooms at Rosa del Viento dont have TVs but the hotel does offer bicycles for just $3 per day to take into town. Guests can bike from the hotel to the Mayan Ruins on the flat road, which is about a ten-mile ride along the ocean. 

5. Hidden food find: Fresh ceviche and beach tacos

The best ceviche in Tulum is, where else, but a local favorite: Chamico’s. This off-the-grid eatery just a hop and a skip away from Hotel Jashita. Order a plate of fresh ceviche and lobster tails with fresh coconuts to drink and homemade guacamole for two for under twenty dollars. Looking for Mexico’s best fish tacos? Taqueria La Eufemia is the only taco stand located on the beach in Tulum. It offers fresh fish tacos caught that day for just a few dollars per order. 

6. Hidden tech tip: Get a car with W-Fi

Tulum is a two-hour drive south from the Cancun International Airport. Ararat Transfer costs $220 roundtrip (the going rate for a roundtrip taxi service) and offers a seven-seat Volkswagen van service with complimentary Wi-Fi (a true gem in Tulum which is pretty remote), Bluetooth, air conditioning, lounge music, and soft drinks. An Ararat driver will wait for you to arrive inside the airport. To book a car, email [email protected].

Tied Up In Knots

By Daniel García Ordaz

They say a man named Harvey Kennedy invented

The plastic or metal tips on the ends of shoelaces, called “aglets”

That keep them from falling apart.

But what does Harvey Kennedy know of my grandmother?

My Abuelita Fina taught me how to tie my shoes.

(Whose delicate hands or what monstrous machines

Slipped synthetic socks over the lace tips

So consistently that I would not struggle

With split ends as I learned something new?)

I would get dizzy in the back of the car

Running late to church—last one in, first one out—

Looking down at my feet with the car in motion,

Always in the backseat—no seatbelts to tie us down.

Two bows, over, then under—no, under, and pull!

(My fingers too small and too few.)

Her directions, in Spanish, lacked rhythm and rhyme.

Lacked the poetry I witnessed in her

Seamless embroidery, her fine crocheting. Her—

Somewhere along the way we remember

Tying one’s shoes is like riding a bike or driving stick:

It’s the most difficult thing—until it’s not.

Tying on shoes becomes such second nature

That the process is forgot.

My Abuelita eventually succumbed to dementia,

Forgot how to tie her own shoes,

Forgot to repair the stiches of a life well-lived,

A life never rent but suddenly unraveling.

It became the most difficult thing to get her to remember

How to tie up the loose ends of her life,

It became the most difficult thing to get her to remember

Me.

  Prompt from Just the Facts: The plastic tips on the ends of shoelaces are called "aglets".

Daniel García Ordaz is the founder of the Rio Grande Valley International Poetry Festival and author of You Know What I’m Sayin’? Daniel has his MFA in Creative Writing from UT-Rio Grande Valley and has served as editor of Twenty: In Memoriam, among other publications. He also teaches high school English classes in the Valley. Daniel’s new book, Centzontle/Mockingbird: Songs of Empowerment, comes out this month.

6 Surprising Secrets To Discover On The Mayan Riviera

There’s much to do in Tulum( iStock)

Looking for a Mexican getaway without the springtime breaking style crowds? Boutique hotels, restaurants, dress shops, and yoga await in the ultra-chic village of Tulum, Mexico.

Taqueria La Eufemia is the only taco stand located on the beach in Tulum. It offers fresh fish tacos caught that day for simply a few dollars per order.
