Magic Square

Shu Legend: In ancient times in China, there was a huge flood. The people tried to offer some sacrifice to the river god "Lo", to calm his anger. However, every time a sacrifice was offered, a turtle came out from the river and walked around. The river god didn't accept the sacrifice until one time, a child noticed the curious figure on the turtle's shell. Hence they realized the correct amount of sacrifice to make was 15. This Magic Square is particularly interesting when you find out that the addition of the rows in all directions, that is to say, horizontal, vertical and diagonal equals 15. The union of the numbers in its natural order creates a perfect geometric figure.

Life Force

“There is a vitality, a life force, an energy, a quickering that is translated through you into action and because there is only one of you in all times, this expression is unique. If you block it, it will never exist through any other medium and it will be lost. The world will not have it. You must keep this channel open. It is not for you to determine how good it is or how valuable, or how it compares with other expressions. It is for you to keep it yours, clearly and directly.“ Martha Graham.

Martín Fierro

Texto from José Hernández
“I sit here to sing my song
To the best of my old guitar;
For the man whose life is a bitter cup
With a song may yet his heart lift up,
As the lonely bird on the leafless tree,
That sings neath the gloaming star”
