Poesia: William Blake - Cantares de experiencia - Parte 6 - El Terrón y el Guijarro - Link









El Terrón y el Guijarro


"El amor no anhela complacerse a sí
mismo
ni por sí mismo se inquieta,
en cambio al otro da sosiego,
y construye un Cielo en la desolación
del Infierno."
Así cantaba un diminuto Terrón
de Arcilla
pisoteado por las patas del ganado,
pero un Guijarro del cañadón
murmuró estos versos apropiados:
"El amor sólo busca darse el gusto,
y encadenar al otro a su deleite,
se regocija con el desconsuelo ajeno,
y construye un Infierno a expensas
del Cielo."

NASA: Botswana - Not Your Usual Flooding - 07.06.12

The Okavango Delta is an oasis in Africa’s Kalahari Desert. When the Kalahari reaches its driest phase—when plants wither and animals hunt for drinking water—the Okavango provides it. But starting in 2009, the delta provided more than usual, and excess water overflowed into other land depressions in the region.
One of the waterways linked to the Okavango Delta is the Savuti River, roughly 80 kilometers (50 miles) northeast of the sprawling inland delta. On May 26, 2012, the Advanced Land Imager (ALI) on NASA’s Earth Observing-1 (EO-1) satellite captured this natural-color image of water flowing through the Savuti River and into Savuti Swamp. The swamp sits inside the larger Mababe Depression within Botswana’s Chobe National Park.
Unlike the seasonal flooding that affects the Okavango Delta every year, the flooding in 2012 was unusual. Guido van Langenhove of Hydrological Services Namibia characterized it as “an exceptional hyrological event.”
The rains that fill the Okavango don’t actually fall over the delta itself. Instead, the rains fall in the Angolan Highlands and travel about 450 kilometers (280 miles) through meandering rivers and over an extremely shallow gradient. As a result, rains that typically fall over Angola from October through March don’t usually reach the bottom of the Okavango Delta until July. But in May 2012, water had already arrived in the Okavango and was overflowing into other waterways such as the Savuti River.
“The Okavango Delta has had record floods for a few years now,” said Frank Eckardt of the University of Cape Town. “We have seen the Boteti River in flood since 2009, and have also seen water in Lake Xau, southeast of the delta. Now we are seeing water in the Selinda Channel, heading into the Mababe Depression northeast of the delta. Some of these depressions only fill with water after decades of dryness.”
Van Langenhove concurs, remarking that the flooding had reactivated waterways in the region regarded by some observers as “fossil rivers.”

Music: Joe Bonamassa - Around the bend - Lyrics















Lord I've come a long way.
Here's another bright day.
I pay what I gotta pay,
To play what I gotta play.

I was born in the country, straight into town.
I go anywhere to see what goin' down.
I see cowards and heros, fast as the wind.
I go down any road there is, to see what's around the bend.

Girls I've hadn't and knew,
Some were false and some were true.
Tasted the honey and dew,
Lovin' I never get through.

I was born in the country, straight into town.
I go anywhere to see what goin' down.
I see cowards and heros, fast as the wind.
I go down any road there is, to see what's around the bend.

You let me rest my weary head, weary head.
Let's find out what this life is,
Before we're dead, Oh, before we're dead.

I was born in the country, straight into town.
I go anywhere to see what goin' down.
I see cowards and heros, fast as the wind.
I go down any road there is,
I've been down every road there is,
To see what's around the bend.

To see what's around the bend...
To see what's around the bend...

Cartas. Testimonios – Letters. Testimonials: Friedrich Nietzsche - 1871 - Carta a von Gersdorff. En Español - Links




1871

21 de junio, en Basilea, a von Gersdorff:

Convendremos, en qué sentido precisamente ese fenómeno de nuestra vida moderna, y para hablar con propiedad, de la Europa cristiana y su Estado, ante todo la “civilización” romana ahora predomínate en todas partes, descubren la enorme tara que afecta a nuestro mundo: todos nosotros, con todo nuestro pasado, somos culpables, de semejante terror manifestado a la luz del día: de modo que, desde lo alto del sentimiento por nosotros mismos, deberíamos estar muy lejos de querer imputar el crimen de un combate contra
la cultura a estos desdichados. Sé lo que quiere decir esto: el combate contra la cultura. La noticia del incendio parisino [se refiere a los episodios de La Comuna y a la noticia falsa y que para esta época él ya debía saber que era falsa del incendio del Louvre] me dejó anonadado durante varios días, me deshacía en lagrimas y dudas: empecé a ver el conjunto de nuestra existencia científica, filosófica y artística como un absurdo, porque un solo día basta para borrar las supremas maravillas quizá de periodos enteros del arte: me aferré con firme convicción al valor metafísico del arte, que no puede existir por culpa de la pobre gente, pero debe cumplir misiones más altas. Pero, a pesar de mi
extremo pesar, no estaba en condiciones de arrojar la más mínima piedra a esos profanadores, que, para mí, sólo eran agentes de la culpabilidad universal, ¡sobre la que hay tanto que meditar

Poesia: San Juan de la Cruz - Glosa a lo Divino - Links






Glosa a lo divino.



Por toda la hermosura
nunca yo me perderé,
sino por un no sé qué
que se alcança por ventura.

1

Sabor de bien que es finito
lo más que puede llegar
es cansar el apetito
y estragar el paladar
y assí por toda dulçura
nunca yo me perderé
sino por un no sé qué
que se halla por ventura.

2

El coraçón generoso
nunca cura de parar
donde se puede passar
sino en más difficultoso
nada le causa hartura
y sube tanto su fee
que gusta de un no sé qué
que se halla por ventura.

3

El que de amor adolesce
de el divino ser tocado
tiene el gusto tan trocado
que a los gustos desfallece
como el que con calentura
fastidia el manjar que ve
y apetece un no sé qué
que se halla por ventura.

4

No os maravilléis de aquesto
que el gusto se quede tal
porque es la causa del mal
ajena de todo el resto
y assí toda criatura
enajenada se vee
y gusta de un no sé qué
que se halla por ventura.

5

Que estando la voluntad
de divinidad tocada
no puede quedar pagada
sino con divinidad
mas, por ser tal su hermosura
que sólo se vee por fee,
gústala en un no sé qué
que se halla por ventura.

6

Pues, de tal enamorado
dezidme si abréis dolor
pues que no tiene sabor
entre todo lo criado
solo sin forma y figura
sin hallar arrimo y pie
gustando allá un no sé qué
que se halla por ventura.

7

No penséis que el interior
que es de mucha más valía
halla gozo y alegría
en lo que acá da sabor
mas sobre toda hermosura
y lo que es y será y fue
gusta de allá un no sé qué
que se halla por ventura.

8

Más emplea su cuydado
quien se quiere aventajar
en lo que está por ganar
que en lo que tiene ganado
y assí, para más altura
yo siempre me inclinaré
sobre todo a un no sé qué
que se halla por ventura.

9

Por lo que por el sentido
puede acá comprehenderse
y todo lo que entenderse
aunque sea muy subido
ni por gracia y hermosura
yo nunca me perderé
sino por un no sé qué
que se halla por ventura.

NASA: Afghanistan - Pakistan - Iran - Dust Storm - 05.06.12


Dust Storm over Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Iran
acquired June 4, 2012 download large image (1 MB, JPEG, 3000x4000)
A dust storm stirred in the Hamun wetlands along the Iran-Afghanistan border on June 3, 2012. By the following day, the dust plumes had grown, spreading far south into Pakistan. The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA’s Aqua satellite acquired this natural-color image on June 4.
When moisture is scarce, areas like the Hamun wetlands transform to dry lakebeds, and the fine sediments provide material for dust storms. Multiple dry lakebeds occur along the borders between Iran, Afghanistan, and Pakistan, in addition to the Hamun wetland area. High temperatures can also contribute to dust storms by making air near the ground unstable. In such conditions, even light winds can loft dust into the air.

NASA: Global Maps - Water Vapor fron July 2002 to April 2012


Global Maps

Water Vapor

Download a Quicktime animation of this dataset (5 MB)
Water is constantly cycling through the atmosphere. Water evaporates from the Earth’s surface and rises on warm updrafts into the atmosphere. It condenses into clouds, is blown by the wind, and then falls back to the Earth as rain or snow. This cycle is one important way that heat and energy are transferred from the surface of the Earth to the atmosphere, and transported from one place to another on our planet.
Water vapor is also the most important greenhouse gas in the atmosphere. Heat radiated from Earth’s surface is absorbed by water vapor molecules in the lower atmosphere. The water vapor molecules, in turn, radiate heat in all directions. Some of the heat returns to the Earth’'s surface. Thus, water vapor is a second source of warmth (in addition to sunlight) at the Earth’s surface.
These maps show the average amount of water vapor in a column of atmosphere in a given month. The units are given in centimeters, which is the equivalent amount of water that could be produced if all the water vapor in the column were to condense. The lowest amounts of water vapor (0 centimeters) appear in yellow, and the highest amounts (6 centimeters) appear in dark blue. Areas of missing data appear in shades of gray. The maps are based on data collected by the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) sensor on NASA’s Aqua satellite.
The most noticeable pattern in the time series is the influence of seasonal temperature changes and incoming sunlight on water vapor. In the tropics, a band of extremely humid air wobbles north and south of the equator as the seasons change. This band of humidity is part of the Intertropical Convergence Zone, where the easterly trade winds from each hemisphere converge and produce near-daily thunderstorms and clouds. Farther from the equator, water vapor concentrations are high in the hemisphere experiencing summer and low in the one experiencing winter.
Another pattern that shows up in the time series is that water vapor amounts over land areas decrease more in winter months than adjacent ocean areas do. This is largely because air temperatures over land drop more in the winter than temperatures over the ocean. Water vapor condenses more rapidly in colder air.
