Hello John,
happy new year to you also. You can tell i´m also a bit dyslexic. But here also the link with the photos of the river.

Thank you for the artist allusion. I have to say the closest I´m from art now is being full of cement. I´m restoring an old Arabs bath from the 12th century at Baza, also a druids area, and the closest from working with symbology is to restore the six pointed stars of marble stone that are part of the light entrance on the bobbeds.

Right inside here is were I´m working now. This is a reconstruction of how they will be when I'm finished, as the floor is not yet done.
A few years ago, before I came to live in this little attic under the Alhambra, est-west orientated, I had a dream. I dreamed with this house and the horizon can be reached from here. I was very happy moving around the house doing my work. The happiness came from being able to live out of the work I loved, as for the concentration, attention and discipline I had in doing it. It was almost ecstasies. Being busy with my affairs, all the windows open to the wonderfully perfumed Andalusian spring night breeze, I got highly surprised when looking out of the window I saw, that the clouds, where giving shape to huge bodies on the bobbed of the sky.
I run to the window to see the whole of the bobbed was full of beings, huge in size, just visible because the clouds where momentary dressing them.
They formed groups and their harmonic body positions contemplated all directions in space. They where working too. I could not say in what, but their attention an full concentration it was very much like mine. Or better mine like theirs, as they where like the example I was following in my doing.
The feeling I had is that I was long time waiting to see them and I was so exited that somehow, I run to the horizon, jumping like a child, lifted my head to the closest of this beings and said "..." I´m ashamed here to repeat, the fact is that out of my mouth came silly words in the most awful slangy accent one can imagine.
This wondrous being on the sky politely turn his head, clearly showing that he rather would not get disturb for nothing on his affairs, and said to me " You have to learn to talk". Turn his head again to his business and ignore me.
I came back home, feeling so silly and ashamed. Immediately I turn back to my work.
But they remained there, filling up all the sky, visible to me. I was so glad, so happier I could have ever imagine.
Days later waiting for a class on the art school, sitting on the corridor, my attention laid on a bad copy of a Miguel Angel painting, hanging on the wall, made by a student, a long time ago.
I realized the dispositions of the bodies where as those in my dreams. They form groups intermixed with each other, so the individuals as the groups themselves. In this manner all spaces of space are contemplated. there is a mathematical precision on this seemingly casual disposition.
This was very first time I realiced I want to understand this mathematics and be able to espress it. And besides I am still so far, it is wonderfull to know I am on the way.
May life be joyfull to all beings
Best Regards
Raquel
