2 "This Mexicanism--delight in decorations, carelessness and pomp, negligence, passion and reserve, floats int eh air; I say "floats" because it never mixes or unites with the other world, the North American world based on precision and efficiency. It floats without offering any opposition, it hovers, blown here and there by the wind, sometimes, breaking up like a cloud, expands and contracts, it sleeps or dreams; it is ragged but beautiful. It floats, never quite existing, never quite vanishing." Octavio Paz--El Laberinto de la Soledad-- ADELANTE RAZA! [hand drawing] SI SE PUEDE
