Globalization

carpenter's improvisations
on wood works,
at explora en atacama hotel.
Globalization threatens the very existence of the remote.
It reaches and relates almost every place of the planet,
with the others.
It is good to release remote places from the tyranny
of being small towns, big infernos,
but also of the foolish comfort of provincialism and self-content,
opening up the remote to the world.
On the other hand, the uniqueness of people and places
must be preserved, to keep the human diversity that has
made us succeed the many many chances of life...
I guess any good book or travel to the remote,
is a chance for diversity,
that seen from afar, may look less threatening,
and seduce the selfish side on every one of us.
I guess,
