Viernes, 9 julio 2021, 6:00 Tiempo de lectura:3 min. Es frecuente que las novelas se inspiren en la vida real, o la imiten. A veces, sin embargo, es la vida la que imita a las novelas y lo hace hasta extremos asombrosos. Me ocurrió hace unos días, en el restaurante La Carboná de Jerez.

On this final Sunday of National Poetry Month I want to leave you with inspiration. Not just to read poems, but to write them. I wrote last week about the late poet Mary Oliver. The cosmic connection I feel to her, because of the connection I feel to nature.  I’m not alone--many feel this way. Any of us who pause in wonder.  Any of us who walk SouthCoast woods, or beaches or backyards and come away stunned.

The Atlantic Diamonds Aren’t Special and Neither Is Your Love We’ve coupled love to marriage and marriage to gems, and all three thrive on the assumption of rarity. What would it mean for love to be common? Nina Westervelt / The New York Times / Redux In South Africa there are mines full of more diamonds than humanity could ever want or need. You won’t get the chance to see most of them; few are flawless enough to enter the jewelry market. As the stones are excavated, carved, and judged by the four C’s—color, carat, cut, clarity—they are whittled down until only the most perfect r...

" Tanning beds are easily questionable malarkey: It's not hard to wonder whether they may be more dangerous than sunlight. Nicholas Eveleigh/The Image Bank/Getty Images Malarkey comes in many forms. There's the laughable malarkey, like "this electronic belt can make you lose weight;" there's the easily questionable malarkey, like "tanning beds are safer than sunlight;" and then there is the malarkey that seems so reasonable, so highly probable, many of us just don't question it.
