Six short essays, and other fruitings growing sideways from Málaga.

I write here to figure out what I think, and to find better questions.

CURRENTLY
A relief, when psychedelic plants are drowning in commercial hype: a small community-funded film that just tells Tatiana's story, from a brutal childhood to becoming a curandera in the Amazon. Her line stays with me: "Ayahuasca is not an answer for your problems… nothing is, except you becoming conscious of the way you are living your life."
A super-chill 2024 album, mostly reworked older songs. I fell asleep to it many nights on a Norway road trip last week. Best loud or with earphones, so many subtle details and voices. The lyrics of this one are worth checking out.
PONDERING

Psychedelics don't give you a new view of the world. They open the possibility that other views exist, and are worth looking into.
