No me busques en una tumba, en una urna, en un panteón. Tu bien sabes que nunca me gustó el encierro, y ahora que mi cuerpo ya no es prisión soy para siempre tuyo y del viento.

Búscame en la simpiterna de octubre, pintando de morado el cerro, búscame en los 400 pétalos del cempasúchil, tu qué sabes cuánto amaba las flores, los olores y los colores.

Búscame una mañana llena de niebla, escondido entre los cedros y las chacas, bajando por el manantial de agua fresca, surcando el cielo con las garzas

Búscame cuando el sol de mediodía te envuelva entre sus rayos haciéndote buscar la sombra de un guayabo, recuérdame ahí con su aroma.

Búscame una tarde lluviosa en la taza de café que tú corazón reconforta, en los momentos felices que pasamos juntos, en nuestras plática más inverosímil.

Ya no me llores por qué me afliges, se que es duro ya no poder vernos, pero aún podemos sentirnos, acompañarnos, y sobretodo amarnos, por qué se va el cuerpo pero el amor es eterno y no entiende de materia, tiempo o espacio.

Así que me quedo aquí, contigo, y con todas las cosas que amé y que cada día me hicieron sentir vivo, y también me quedo dormido, en el pecho de la muerte piadosa, liberadora, incomprendida y a veces repudiada, pero tan nuestra como la vida misma, tan serena y tranquila que nadie lo creería.

Te espero aquí, y te acompaño cada día, camina a tu ritmo, no hay prisa, yo ya estoy contigo, esperando cada día ver tu sonrisa, verte explotando cada segundo, cada minuto, cada maravilla que nos regala tu mundo, y cuando vengas aquí te espero, para tomarnos un mezcal y una cerveza y brindar por lo maravillosa que fue la vida...

¡Los tres amigos vuelven al Oscar! Por segunda vez en la historia, producciones encabezadas por Guillermo del Toro, Alfonso Cuarón y Alejandro G. Iñárritu han sido nominadas en la misma edición de los premios de la Academia. En 2007 fue la primera ocasión que esto sucedió con El laberinto del fauno, Niños del hombre y Babel. ¡Orgullo mexicano! 🙌🏼🇲🇽

Around 900 years ago, a Maya scribe made Códice Maya de México—the oldest book of the Americas, and one of only four surviving Maya manuscripts that predate the arrival of Europeans.

The sacred book tracked and predicted the complex movements of the planet Venus and is a remarkable testament to the complexity of Indigenous astronomy.

Códice Maya de México is on display in the US for the first time in 50 years. Come visit it at the Getty Center through January 15, 2023.
