The legless man

Its dreams week.

So many dreams happening. Businesses opening. Tasting menus. Private gatherings about social innovation. Redefining the face of countries through wildly futuristic media. Beachfront celebrations. Experimental afterparties. Its dreams week.

An old man with no leg- literally, the femur was removed at age 16 - told me, "I try to make it seem like I just sprained my ankle, cuz I work out too much." He pointed to his head. "It's all in here. You know what I decided would lift my spirits, when I was 18, and realized I'd be in crutches for the next 50 years?" "What?" I said, while watching the game and eating a portabello burger. "Always score really hot girlfriends. Then people would be envious of me and not vice versa."

He spends his life improving public works for the handicapped & lives in a penthouse during the week.

Find your own way, people,  and go big.... its dreams week!!!

I liked walking around the neighborhood with you too

A text response gone solikoquoy.

There is so much to discover.... I get really inspired by all the things to experience

Me too. My favorite thing about our city- and so much hope coming out of our neighborhood- is the infinity of meaningful projects to undertake.

I'm excited for your involvement in compañia because its one of those integrated multidisciplinary ventures that makes a community vibrant. It'll make people happier just knowing there is life and energy and entrepreneurs there. Yesterday I was talking to my taxi driver about how exciting the concept was- I was also marketing it to the managers of the aurora patio folks. Everybody should be involved in projects that not only move something that they care about, but allow them to be expressive. You could take your music project and collaborate with local music teachers and run a different type of workshop for kids in the neighborhood, for example. 

A deep look at la Roma reveals unlikely, but wildly socially responsible passions and dreams. Sometimes they are simple, but they are almost always part of a movement.  Is that hydroponics spotted atop the old green library house on alvaro obregon, shuttered during the week,  and open, breezy, majestic if raggedy on Saturdays?. Casa del Agua? Responsible water conservation that is a socially and politically charged bold statement in itself. It confronts the origins and the future of life in the DF volcanic valley itself. The project inspires me to just imagine how many inventions we could scale to the slums to change- and fix- the way water is distributed to millions of people (locally/safely).

What about the new concept Roma market redesigning Tiangui/ slow food concepts within walls to confront community-damaging supermarkets, meanwhile stimulating stabikity in artesenal food production? The weight of these projects is a hope that extends to the entire developing world.

What about the historical juxtaposition?  Floating farms,  decaying mansions, dozens of community movements..  new entrepreneurial models.. and the victory of plants, constantly busting through cracks, sinking walls and shading abandoned paths that reveal past empires?

God dammit we live in a romantic time and place. And its really wonderful to share it with someone very nice.

You are awesome and I have so many things to say so I just wrote you an essay I will share with you next time we walk around.
