Flamenco



Num palco todo negro estão de preto sentados dois homens. O primeiro exibe as mãos claras e o segundo uma guitarra... Toca...... Soam escalas e arabescos, rápidos e bruscos assimetricamente. Como chicotadas no ar estalam cordas contra os trastes e as palmas batem a tempo, contra o tempo da pulsação altiva de que se vai pontuando o discurso lânguido e quente do primeiro homem de cabelos crespos longos e pretos.
E eis que, num segundo de silêncio, surge de um canto esquerdo uma mulher.
. De branco... Uma mulher maciça e branca.... Uma jovem mulher maciça, com pequenas ondas brancas rebentando a seus pés invisíveis. Da cabeça brota uma planta sanguínea que se desfolha sobre o brilho metálico e liso dos cabelos repuxados. Suas ancas opacas e redondas puxam-na inteira, num movimento deslizante da maré que a sustém, e seus braços arqueiam cegos na busca das invisíveis alavancas do tempo.

The Fool Card
You are the Fool card. The Fool fearlessly begins
the journey into the unknown. To do this, he
does not regard the world he knows as firm and
fixed. He has a seemingly reckless disregard
for obstacles. In the Ryder-Waite deck, he is
seen stepping off a cliff with his gaze on the
sky, and a rainbow is there to catch him. In
order to explore and expand, one must disregard
convention and conformity. Those in the throes
of convention look at the unconventional,
non-conformist personality and think What a
fool. They lack the point of view to understand
The Fool's actions. But The Fool has roots in
tradition as one who is closest to the spirit
world. In many tribal cultures, those born with
strange and unusual character traits were held
in awe. Shamans were people who could see
visions and go on journeys that we now label
hallucinations and schizophrenia. Those with
physical differences had experience and
knowledge that the average person could not
understand. The Fool is God. The number of the
card is zero, which when drawn is a perfect
circle. This circle represents both emptiness
and infinity. The Fool is not shackled by
mountains and valleys or by his physical body.
He does not accept the appearance of cliff and
air as being distinct or real. Image from: Mary

"Curiosity ...."

BoyGeorge.jpg
You're very feminine, and you don't care who knows
it. You're not willing to let homophobes get
to you. You also like hats.

What band from the 80s are you?

Hmmm... confesso que não me satisfaz muito, mas é verdade que gosto de chapéus (e só enfia a carapuça quem quer).
Agradeço na mesma à Charlotte e ao Major Scobie por mostrarem este divertido link e a quem, de resto, os resultados Madonna e Echo and the Bunnymen acentam que nem luvas!
