It was a tight space, not great for photos, but with no more than 20 or 30 people sitting around watching. This was the closest I’d been able to get to them. In the Jardin they’re always surrounded by a crowd at least three people deep. </p> +<p>Thanks to the concrete confines of the street the drums were more than sound, they hit me in the chest with vibrations I could feel from my ribcage to solar plexus. It was a more intimate and intense experience in the narrow street than anything I’d seen in the Jardin. </p> +<p>Vibrations are an important part of many ceremonies. As anyone who’s spent a good bit of time either vibrating with their voice or sitting in front of something that vibrates your whole body can tell you, it has profound effects after a while. </p> +<p>This is probably best known as a negative thing, as in the PTSD many soldiers get from being too close to too many explosions. The shock waves have <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2016/06/10/us/ptsd-blast-waves-research.html">permanent and lasting negative effects</a>. But there are more positive effects to vibration when it arrives in smaller, saner doses. The effect is similar, just lower dosage you might say. This is why rhythmic chanting and other ways of vibrating your own body are so often a part of religious ceremonies — they are a quick and easy way to change brain states (among other things). </p> +<p><audio controls="" preload="auto"> + <source src="/media/audio/2019/drumming-san-miguel-la-sagrada-familia.mp3"> + <source src="/media/audio/2019/drumming-san-miguel-la-sagrada-familia.ogg"> + Sorry, your browser does not support audio in HTML +</audio></p> +<p>I sat in the middle of the street and watched them dance their way up and down in a slow looping ellipse, feeling the drums vibrate inside me while the dancers’ foot work, with ankle rattles attached, filled the mid tone space, and hand held shakers hissed in at the high end of the rhythmic scale. It was a wall of percussion that all fit together, making something larger than the sum of the parts.</p> +<div class="picwide"> + <a itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/ImageObject" href="https://images.luxagraf.net/original/2019/2019-03-17_164508-1_random-parade.jpg " title="view larger image"> + <img class="u-photo" itemprop="contentUrl" sizes="(max-width: 1439px) 100vw, (min-width: 1440px) 1440px" srcset="https://images.luxagraf.net/2019/2019-03-17_164508-1_random-parade_picwide-sm.jpg 720w, https://images.luxagraf.net/2019/2019-03-17_164508-1_random-parade_picwide-med.jpg 1170w, https://images.luxagraf.net/2019/2019-03-17_164508-1_random-parade_picwide.jpg 2880w" src="https://images.luxagraf.net/2019/2019-03-17_164508-1_random-parade_picwide-med.jpg" alt="La Sagrada Familia, san miguel de allende, mexico photographed by luxagraf" data-jslghtbx="https://images.luxagraf.net/original/2019/2019-03-17_164508-1_random-parade.jpg" data-jslghtbx-group="group" > + </a> +</div> + +<div class="picwide"> + <a itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/ImageObject" href="https://images.luxagraf.net/original/2019/2019-03-17_164412-1_random-parade.jpg " title="view larger image"> + <img class="u-photo" itemprop="contentUrl" sizes="(max-width: 1439px) 100vw, (min-width: 1440px) 1440px" srcset="https://images.luxagraf.net/2019/2019-03-17_164412-1_random-parade_picwide-sm.jpg 720w, https://images.luxagraf.net/2019/2019-03-17_164412-1_random-parade_picwide-med.jpg 1170w, https://images.luxagraf.net/2019/2019-03-17_164412-1_random-parade_picwide.jpg 2880w" src="https://images.luxagraf.net/2019/2019-03-17_164412-1_random-parade_picwide-med.jpg" alt="La Sagrada Familia, san miguel de allende, mexico photographed by luxagraf" data-jslghtbx="https://images.luxagraf.net/original/2019/2019-03-17_164412-1_random-parade.jpg" data-jslghtbx-group="group" > + </a> +</div> + +<p>I’m still not sure what the occasion was, or why they were in town.

Even the locals standing on the street around us seemed a little mystified by it all. Or perhaps that was annoyance since the parade held up all the buses headed out of town for a good hour or so. On the weekend many people just want to get the market, get their food for the week, and head home. Damn the parades.</p> +<p>But they’re Mexican, so they waited patiently, with almost no outward sign of irritation, certainly not anger, though, if Octavio Paz is correct, there might be plenty of irritation and anger behind the public mask. </p> +<p>I’m not sure if Paz is right, sweeping general statements about an entire culture have severe rounding errors, nor an I sure that keeping everything behind a mask is a good thing. Anger has its place, it’s a natural, common human emotion. Still, I do admire the Mexican ability to keep it in check, especially in one particular circumstance I encounter nearly every time I head out the door - northerners behaving badly.</p> +<p>There’s no shortage of bad behavior by northerners around here, but Mexicans never confront it. At least as far as I’ve seen. That is a choice after all — confronting and complaining about the things you don’t like. It’s one I generally choose, but you can also choose, as my neighbors do, to ignore it all. Or, as I suspect, to store it up for gossip in the evenings, when everyone comes out into the streets to gather around the grills and cookers to eat, gossip, and laugh. My Spanish isn’t good enough to say for sure, but I suspect some of this talk is all the crazy and annoying things that gringos did in the neighborhood that day.</p> +<p>Or maybe I’m wrong. Maybe Paz is wrong too. It’s impossible to know as an outsider, and even when you’re an insider, part of the culture, can you speak for everyone? We like to sort the world, to group individuals together by common traits, behaviors, beliefs. Sometimes there do seem to be currents of thought and idea running common among us, the backbeat of our dreams perhaps. Other times though those who would speak for all of us are really speaking of themselves, for themselves. Sometimes I think we’d all be better off if more of us spoke only of ourselves, for ourselves without assuming anyone else thinks, feels, or dreams the same.</p> +<blockquote> +<p>Modern man likes to pretend that his thinking is wide-awake. But this wide-awake thinking has led us into the maze of a nightmare in which the torture chambers are endlessly repeated in the mirrors of reason. When we emerge, perhaps we will realize that we have been dreaming with our eyes open, and that the dreams of reason are intolerable. And then, perhaps, we will begin to dream once more with our eyes closed. <cite>–Octavio Paz</cite></p> +</blockquote> + </div> + <div class="entry-footer"> + <aside id="wildlife"> + <h3>Fauna and
