Neoka's Song

When everything is in harmony, there is no chaos. When the world chants, we listen. When the birds sing, spring rises. When the winds blow, we feel the rhythm move us... Life is a song, and I intend to share it with you.

How to start a movement in a foreign country 101

So inspired by Make Poverty History Campaign, I decided to see what was happening in Mexico.
Nothing as you can see.

So considering there already have a couple campaigns running using the plastic bands... it shouldn't be THAT hard to start a movement here in Mexico... should it?

I'll let you know if I get anywhere...
for now I have to stop worrying about global poverty and start worrying about my paper on neo-institutionalism using a game theory model... ironic?? I think so...

If anyone has any insights on starting movements in Mexico, please let me know... (i'd like to avoid a repeat of 1968 if at all possible)

For everything there is a season

For everything there is a season, and a time for very purpose under heaven:a time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;a time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;a time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;a time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;a time to seek, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;a time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;a time to love, and a time to hate; a time for war, and a time for peace.
Ecclesiastes 3, 1-8

Walk on the opposite side of the road

Have you ever walked on the opposite side of the road, just to change things up from your usual routine?
You wouldn't believe the difference in perspective! I found new shops, places to eat, everything... just by walking on the other side.


"With Sheep gone, will man follow?"

This has been my guiding quote the past week or so. It has sparked so many interesting topics of conversation, from the circle of life, to ecological methodologies, to sociological principles of human interaction...

basically its been quite the controversy... so tell me readers, what think you?
It has multiple meanings...
i love those perspective challenging games dont you??

Also, let me know if you get this one: It took me the complete reading of "7 Habits of Highly effective people" by Stephen Covey, for me to get it.
Its by T.S. Elliot:

"We must not cease from exploration. And the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we began and to know the place for the first time"

Reminds me of Zen teachings...
"Before we learn of Zen, Mountains are Mountains and Rivers and Rivers.
After we have been introduced to Zen, Mountains are no longer mountains, Rivers, no longer Rivers.
After enlightenment the Mountains once again become Mountains, and Rivers, once again Rivers."


Mexico is great, have I mentioned that? Im learning more about myself than I thought. Journey's of self are always so fruitful. I enjoy the ride I am on.
