The shape of the dreams

7 years ago, while on a Live Parallel expedition in East Africa, I witnessed a scene. In the middle of the Savannah, on the ground cracked by the heat of brick-red color, from which stick out, straw-yellow, as if in response to the sun killed them, rare and dry bushes with short spines, on the old, with peeling paint stool, was ... TV! But not as big as we draw imagination, and little else with a picture tube, in which the wretched plastic dirty-gray color with completely missing buttons. And this dinosaur technique, imagine, works! From him like a snake, stretching the wire, to standing nearby... the motorcycle, which is operating as a generator, provides electricity to the TV. But that's not all! Another snake-the cable is routed from the television to the nearest tree is antenna. Semicircle, about this miracle of engineering, right on the ground, on which now and then crawling scarab beetles and numerous insects, get out to the surface after sunset, sit or lie people from small to large, spellbound by the action on the screen... as you guessed it, on the screen... football!

All this is quite entertaining, but really I was surprised by one boy who was put next to the motorcycle – to pour into his tank gasoline from a plastic bottle, which he periodically did, but he, crouching, stretching on socks, occasionally jumping, trying through the live wall of his tribesmen, to see (he still could not see because of the rumbling motorcycle), but to see at least the edge of the world that shone pictures of the broadcast football match. For this boy, it was all a real embodiment of his dream of another life!

Later we may ask ourselves where we are going and why. This thought came to my mind under the sign “CANNIBALISM POLICE”…  But it was too late, we had to go farther consoling ourselves with the thought that we were among the very few people in the whole world who had made some steps forward from the sign.  Read more...

 

Культура – надбиологическая совокупность феноменов
Культура – надбиологическая совокупность феноменов

Остаются считанные дни времени пребывания экспедиции Живая Параллель в Перу. Изучив тексты, увидев множество подтверждений мифов и обоснованности сведений об инках, встретившись с представителями разных социумов, возникших вследствии испанского завоевания, настало время разделить реальную жизнь с последними потомками инков. Благо, это оказалось реальностью, поскольку наш проводник Элвис, родом из народности кечуа, являющейся прямым наследником культурных традиций инков, видя нашу искреннюю (не туристическую) потребность пожить в культуре, любезно пригласил посетить его деревню.

Чай как способ передачи культурного кода
Чай как способ передачи культурного кода

Вот уж чего в любой экспедиции должно быть с избытком, так это чая и юмора (как вариант, сойдет кофе и хорошее расположение духа). Но, горячая кружка ароматного чая творит чудеса, особенно за вечерними посиделками и разговорами об увиденном, пережитом и затронувшем.
