A labyrinth is an archetype, a divine imprint, found in all religious traditions in various forms around the world. It is a release, receive, and return experience. San Francisco’s Grace Cathedral has a couple of them, equally open to regular church goers and visitors; they were introduced by the Rev. Dr. Lauren Artress in 1994. … More Forget the mall or the casinos. The Labyrinth will quiet your mind.

Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful people with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan “press on” has solved and always … More Persistence.
It does not matter where I am going. It doesn’t matter how he got there. A wealthy city, full of advancement…and full of fools pursuing a gold rush in the age of tech and high; and yet, they are on their way every morning pursuing their dreams.

There will be Altares everywhere, honoring family and friends who’ve passed away. The Day of the Dead celebration is coming up on … More Dia de Los Muertos, A la San Francisco.
Forget the hills in San Francisco; forget the fog too -it doesn’t come as it used to. Circa 2015, it is a city made of what flows in the air: the spheres and the circles, the networks and net-worths. Like bubbles they show up and disappear, dancing close to the water sometimes. One can jump … More Life in San Francisco.

It does not matter how long I have lived in the San Francisco Bay Area, I get a lovely feeling everytime I see a Cable Car. The famous “trenecitos,” are manually operated since 1873; that makes it almost 150 years of taking passengers to lively neighborhoods and outstanding views. Here is one minute, with my … More One Minute on a Cable Car. Oh! San Francisco!
Este es otro de los reportajes del fotoperiodista David Bacon; empieza así: “Cuando miles de trabajadores agrícolas indígenas se fueron a huelga en el Valle de San Quintín en Baja California el 16 de marzo, sus voces no sólo las escucharon en las calles de los poblados rurales a lo largo de esta península en … More La lucha de trabajadores migrantes. Siguen fuertes aunque marginados.

Elements of US history are new to naturalized American citizens, because they did not grow up learning United States history. The influx of international talent to Silicon Valley and beyond over the last few years has created a … More Spectacular. The Blue Angels, and the USS Potomac.
