Los Cabos

Cuando me fui de Vallarta hacia los Cabos (Baja California) me habían dado once días de permiso sin sueldo para evitar despidos en el hotel y la situación no era muy esperanzadora.
De todas formas aproveché el viaje para hacer un descanso en mi día a día y visitar a una muy querida amiga, Sara. De paso, disfrutamos del paisaje del desierto frente al mar y no negaré que observaba la zona como posible alternativa a Vallarta.
Los días pasaron plácidos y fueron un bálsamo.

Al volver, un sábado por la noche, me sorprendió la imagen de Vallarta, de nuevo a rebosar de gente, los antros abiertos y rugiendo con su música. Los coches hacían el tráfico lento y la mirada estaba entretenida en el tumulto que había a mi alrededor. La normalidad llegó a Vallarta. Y hoy entro de nuevo a trabajar.
De nuevo empieza la cotidianidad en este llamado "paraíso"

Empiezan las viejas rutinas y se forman otras, mientras poco a poco, el cielo se va haciendo cada día más sofocante, anunciando ya la temporada de lluvias.

El delirio desde Vallarta

El sonido de mis chanclas contra mis talones siempre ha sido el sonido de las vacaciones para mí, de verano en la playa. Aquí es el sonido de Vallarta, el eterno verano.
Esta noche volviendo de casa de Pierre, Romain y Gabi, es lo único que se escucha en la ciudad. Todos los antros están cerrados, los bares, los cines... Ya ni circulan los taxis buscando peatones arrepentidos.
Ese es el rastro de esta pandemia que acosa México, según dicen en las noticias. Eso y los hoteles que están despidiendo a sus trabajadores alarmados por la baja afluencia de gente.
El Dreams está desierto. Estamos a un 27% de ocupación. Y es que dependemos del turismo estadounidense y su fama de hipocondríacos es bien merecida.
Los gobiernos nos ayudan mucho tampoco a despejar esta nube que empezó con la visita de Obama a México. Realmente no sabemos nada seguro y hablando con personas de D.F. y otras zonas, las dudas no se despejan. Nadie conoce casos cercanos y en los medios, usualmente tan cruentos, no sale ni una imagen de los enfermos, muertos o familiares.
Solamente sufrimos las consecuencias económicas que esperemos se calmen.

De momento el Dreams no ha decidido cerrar como otros hoteles, pero si está despidiendo a gente y dando permisos sin sueldo de semanas.
A mí me toca este viernes. Pienso tomármelo como unas ricas vacaciones, dejando que todo fluya y no se estanque.

A mi alrededor reina la cordura y la gente inunda el malecón para ver el atardecer, el barco pirata y sus cohetes o, simplemente pasear.
El delirio lo sentimos fuera, sobre todo cuando con lágrimas en los ojos, Pierre nos dijo que en Francia lo repatriaban de la escuela bajo la amenaza de no darle su título si se quedaba en México haciendo su práctica. Cuando llegue tendrá que pasar una cuarentena.

Hicimos un asado en su casa para celebrar la vida pese a las locuras que nos envuelven. Y se equivocaron, no es fiebre porcina, sino gatuna y éstas son las consecuencias.







Por mi parte no encuentro ningún sentido a alarmarme y lógicamente mi vida sigue siendo cotidianamente la misma. No encuentro sentido a no saludar con beso, seguir compartiendo vasos, popotes(pajitas), mordidas de manzana o petardos. Y no he tomado el remedio homeopático contra la gripe que compartió Robert en el foro de core. Nada iba a meterme a un estado de miedo, not again!
El miedo al contagio de cualquier enfermedad nunca me ha hecho alejarme del contacto. Me vino a la memoria cuando tenía 12 años y a mi hermana le diagnosticaron tuberculosis. Nunca pensé en dejar de besarla al regresar del colegio.

Os dejo un email que nos envió Robert Stevens sobre esta pandemia y el pánico que viven en Estados Unidos.

Well, people have been hyping up the coming pandemic for some time now. There
have been several pandemics through the ages so this is not without some
history. Perhaps, the greatest pandemic of our recent history is the
propagation of fear/paranoia via the media. We all know that any stress
compromises our immune vitality. Fear/paranoia will certainly do this
especially when it is coupled with a view of nature as a threat to our
survival. We are vulnerable to viral, bacterial attack at any moment. When
this view is relentlessly spread around the world via the media it will of
course effect people in a negative way. Think of vitality as the top
position of a strata system. As vitality is compromised an individual begins
to descend from the top to varied levels of this strata system. At each
level different life forms are living, feeding, breeding, etc. These varied
life forms live at these different levels being hosted by the individual's
terrain. When vitality is lost we drop down the vitality ladder. The terrain
changes as we drop. Stress, emotional trauma, fatigue, etc. always precedes
a drop. Fear is a strong dropping down the ladder of vitality experience. As
we drop the nature of our terrain changes. The terrain begins to offer
sustenance to the varied life forms that are naturally living on that plane
of vitality. Killing the life forms living at that level of the strata is
hardly a solution. An example: I recently interacted with salmonella. This
interaction occurred when ingesting some tainted spinach. Why was I
susceptible to this life form? Preceding this interaction I experienced an
emotional trauma that effected my level of vitality severely. In other words
I dropped down the ladder. It was in this compromised state that I ingested
the tainted spinach. The effects of this were very strong. I had severe
diarrhea, like water running out of my bowel. Loss of appetite. Severe gas
and fluid rumblings throughout my gut. Weakness. I tried several different
homeopathic treatments. Each treatment was very effective with positive
results. The problem was that each treatment was effective for only 24
hours. So, I would improve greatly for 24 hours and then the symptoms were
back as strong as ever. Going up in potency of the effective remedy had no
effect. This process went on for about 12 days. At this time I was getting a
bit tired of the whole deal and decided to do an abdominal green clay pack
and a radionic evaluation. The radionic evaluation indicated a color
treatment using yellow as a projection at 10MM for three days. I was
completely cured in 48 hours. No reoccurrence since. Did the yellow kill
the salmonella? I don't believe so. The clay pack (applied only once) in
combination with the yellow frequency allowed my terrain to rise back up the
ladder of vitality. Arriving at a place where salmonella cannot find
sustenance for its own life needs. You may also surmise from this experience
that hygiene plays an important role. There appears to be a hygienic,
environmental factor in this latest scare. The US company that may be the
epicenter of this viral activity in Mexico has received many complaints
about how its business practices have adversely effected the nearby
population. This is where the first case was reported. More information on
this can be found by surfing the net. One of the common complaints was of
respiratory compromise. Now I have not heard about swine flu for several
decades. I had my first interaction with swine flu back in 1976 or there
abouts. A woman came for treatment. She was around 55 years old. She was a
bit over weight but had had no history of chronic illness. I believe she was
from North Dakota. A strong, independent ranching woman. She had received a
swine flu vaccine two weeks prior to our meeting. She was carried into my
office by her husband and son. She was completely paralyzed from the neck
down. There was no confusion on anyone's part about what had caused the
paralysis. It was the swine flu vaccine. She died in six weeks. I was unable
to help her in any way. That was a lot of years ago so perhaps today may be
different but who knows? There were apparently many such cases from this
vaccine. So, I never really did see any actual swine flu cases only this one
deadly case of being vaccinated. This current situation is being called a
mutation of the swine flu virus. The authorities are saying this is a
combination of the avian strain, the swine flu strain and human. I don't
really know what the human part means. The mutation is not too difficult to
figure out. The bird and pig industry on a huge agricultural scale is
raising animals under horrific conditions. We can only imagine what these
animals are being fed and the lack of hygienic conditions within these
environments. What to say of their mental suffering. The workers will be
effected as will the people that ingest these diseased animals. The whole
terrain will be compromised. Including their own mental/emotional terrain.
This means that we are creating an inner terrain that is unique in
relationship to the micro organisms that will be generated at this level of
compromise. Another way to say this is that we are compromising our own
terrains in unique and new ways. This means that nature will automatically
create unique life forms at that level of the ladder of vitality. Why?
Because this is the way nature has designed digestion of complex substances.
Another way to look at this is: the more compromised, complex our terrain
becomes the more aggressive the micro organisms become that are required to
digest this complexity. We will never be able to keep up with these
mutations. Nor will we ever be current in our ability to kill these life
forms. Nature rules. What about GMO's? What type of micro organism will be
generated to digest this? Perhaps we are witnessing this now. Who knows.
Solution = life style. If the swine flu vaccine is reactivated please avoid
as this was one nasty poison.
Peace to you,
Robert

Ahora los diarios estadounidenses declaran que quizá se exageró un pelín con la influenza en México...
Eso y la plática con algunos huéspedes inteligentes y con criterio, hacen tener un optimismo claro muy pronto.
De todas formas, este viernes me dan unos once días de permiso sin goce de sueldo, que pienso gozaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar machiiiiiiiiiiiiiiín!
