The here and now... and what and why

Complacency is a trap. At least that’s what I was thinking when I up and left the comfort of a Yankee prep school gig, where I taught music, amongst other things, for 28 years. There was also that life long career as a composer, musician and artist.

First, it was a year in St. Thomas, USVI, working as a reporter and shooting photography and then, a year in San Agustin Etla, Oaxaca, Mexico.
Time passed.
More time passed and a year back in the Athens of America followed by a hasty return to Oaxaca where it is all happening.
A couple of years in San Sebastian Etla and now, just down the road in San Pablo Etla. Life is good.

You can find my music on Jango (World & latin - Worldbeat) and at iTunes and most online stores.

Who and where?

To what is this man referring?
“It’s a government that bases its policies on the media. Since the media are no longer covering us (as much), they decided that we’re no longer a strong movement,” he added.

“They’re mistaken if they want to minimize us. They’re mistaken if they want to dilute us, because the movement still has very high morale and is still very empathetic with the citizenry, that invisible element that doesn’t matter to them,”
Sounds like it could be from any one of numerous populist actions around the world.  Greece? Spain? Wall Street?

No, it is about Mexico and the gentleman is Mexican poet and peace activis,t Javier Sicilia.
