The Place of its Quietude- Luisa Valenzuela

Not fear as expressed in other times. The fear is now behind closed doors, silent, barren, with a low vibration that emerges in fits of temper on the streets or conjugal violence at home.


Our life is quiet enough. Every once in a while a friend disappears, or a neighbour is killed, or one of our children’s schoolmates – or even our own children – falls into a trap, but that isn’t as apocalyptic as it seems; on the contrary, it’s rhymic and organic

Organic indeed!

I really think everyone should have to kill their own food once in a while, to take life, to feel blood warm on your hands.

It's healthy for the psyche!
