Turistas

Las voces gritaban dentro de su cabeza, y le impedían pensar con claridad. Susurros, suspiros, gemidos y gritos; ¿placer, dolor...? ¿Quién podía discernirlos?

Calles desconocidas y su imagen reflejada en todos los espejos, en los escaparates, en las tétricas luces de los vagones de metro. Como un fantasma, como si nadie más pudiera verlo... de hecho, ¿podían hacerlo? ¿O sólo era su imaginación?

Y de pronto, un silencio.

Yo no quería sustituir nada, ni hacer olvidar el pasado. Los fantasmas de cada uno teníamos que superarlos por nuestra cuenta; y cuando estuvieran superados, sólo entonces, tal vez podríamos sonreír. Sólo quería tenderte la mano y que estuvieras tumbado, a mi lado, hasta que saliera el sol. Decirte cosas horrible al oído, esas que ayudan a no pensar, pero no a olvidar. Amar ese dolor que nos rodeaba a ambos. Nunca traspasar la frontera del velo, aunque lo había hecho sin darme cuenta.

Lo único que podía pensar con claridad era que sí, ella era una turista en esta ciudad. Y que lo añoraba. Y que lo quería.
Pero despacio, pequeño.
Despacio.

Awareness

“My essence is not hidden from you, Lord.”

Using a paraphrase of Psalm 19 from Psalms for Praying by Nan Merrill:
“My essence is not hidden from you, Lord.”

It is refreshing to my soul to know that my essence, my very being, is not hidden from God’s Presence. And, that my essence, like the most fragrant, aromatic herb offered in worship as incense enters God’s nostrils and the Lord is pleased with my offering of self. I don’t need to be concerned with who else might or might not recognize my essence, my worth.


That God does is enough.

Dog Meat Restaurant to Receive Inspection
The Korea Times Reports

By Kim Tae-jong
Staff Reporter for the Korea Times

"The city government Tuesday began sanitation inspections of restaurants that serve dog meat.
The move can be seen as official recognition of dog meat as food since dogs are not categorized as livestock that need inspection.


In the four-day inspection, city officials and members from consumers' associations will check the storage of ingredients and hygiene conditions of kitchen facilities at 30 randomly chosen restaurants.
It is the first inspection of dog meat restaurants since 1988 when the country was preparing for the Seoul Olympics Games.
`We are going to slap strong administrative sanctions on restaurants found to have violated sanitation rules,'' a city official said. He said they would face fines or have their license to operate suspended depending on the extent of the rule violation.But he denied that the move has anything to do with the legalization of dog as livestock, citing they will also inspect other restaurants that serve other ``stamina'' dishes such as samgyetang, or chicken broth.
Under the current law, it is illegal to butcher dogs and trade their meat as they are not categorized as livestock, but the government has been unable to regulate the sale of dog meat as it is a part of long-rooted Korean dining culture.

The ambiguous situation, however, has raised concerns over the sanitation of dog meat as dogs are covered by regulations covering donkeys, rabbits, horses and deer, which do not let the authorities apply livestock rulings.
Previously, the city government planned to take samples of dog meat from about 530 restaurants to examine if they
contained harmful substances such as heavy metals, antibiotics and bacteria. But it delayed the plan as it faced strong criticism
Dog lovers and animal rights organizations both at home and abroad denounced the plan as a move to legalize the sale of dog meat. The city government had previously proposed categorizing dogs as livestock. "
