Reading "A Non-Euclidian View of California as a Cold Place to Be" by Ursula Le Guin, and came across this quote from Milan Kundera. I think it's something we all need to be paying attention to.
"Totalitarianism is not only hell, but also the dream of paradise—the age-old dream of a world where everybody would live in harmony, united by a single common will and faith, without secrets from one another. […] If totalitarianism did not exploit these archetypes, which are deep inside us all and rooted deep in all religions, it could never attract so many people, especially during the early phases of its existence. Once the dream of paradise starts to turn into reality, however, here and there people begin to crop up who stand in its way, and so the rulers of paradise must build a little gulag on the side of Eden. In the course of time this gulag grows ever bigger and more perfect, while the adjoining paradise gets ever smaller and poorer."

J’ai plein de trucs « sérieux » à lire mais... Je suis en vacances. Alors j’ai entamé « Les dépossédés » d’Ursula Le Guin.
« - Eh bien, vous m’avez, dit-il, et il sourit. Vous avez votre anarchiste. Qu’allez-vous donc en faire? » (fin du premier chapitre)

I‘ve been working on something for our PNW patron spirit Ursula Le Guin, and have loved this line from “The Farthest Shore” since encountering it.
A crown of trees seemed the appropriate tribute. 🌲👑🌲

Book Review: The Disposessed
A SF novel about two worlds operating with two different philosophies.
Both insisted they were right and the other was wrong. Both minimized contact with each other.

New life update #blog post!!
I'm in a transitional period in my life, moving from #Germany to #Spain, and I wanted to express more deeply what the immigration experience means for me. As well as what home means.
I've structured my post to mirror #Virgil's #Aeneid, taking inspiration also from #UrsulaLeGuin's #TheDispossessed and #Dante's #inferno.
The journey I want to talk about involves geographical displacement, but the real distance travelled takes place inside.

Lo he aprendido de #ursulakleguin #ursulaleguin en #LaCostaMasLejana :
Pero si de nuevo hubiera un rey sobre todos nosotros, y ese rey buscara como en tiempos pasados el consejo de un mago, y si yo fuese ese mago, le diría: 《Mi señor, no hagáis nada porque sea justo, o loable, o noble; no hagáis nada porque os parezca bueno, haced tan solo lo que tengáis que hacer, y lo que no podríais hacer de ninguna otra manera》.

Lo he aprendido de #ursulakleguin #ursulaleguin en #LaCostaMasLejana:
-Te das cuenta, Arren, de que un acto no es, como creen los jóvenes, lo mismo que una piedra que levantas del suelo y arrojas lejos, que da en el blanco o yerra, y nada más. Cuando levantas la piedra, la tierra se aligera y la mano que la sostiene es más pesada. Cuando la arrojas, influye en los circuitos de los astros, y allí donde golpea o cae, el universo cambia. De un acto cualquiera depende el Equilibrio del todo. [...] Pero nosotros, los que tenemos poder [...] hemos de aprender a mantener el Equilibrio.
