Brilliant how everything from politics, history, values, and the human condition is packed in the suspense of this adventure. Amazing photos. Makes me want to make love to Pachamama.

Christmas carol.

Shining lights
and the plan
of a destiny,
when Christmas
arrives: I see
the profile of
a northerly wind
near the sound
of a feast, a
rosy return
and always a
white dream
on a similar sight.

A powerful piece and very, very moving. I especially feel for the poor young drillers whose lives are cut short so brutally after only 10 years. Indeed: The mine is not a metaphor.

Thus the Hyper Card stack became a self-contained application in its own right, distributable as a single entity that end-users could run without the need for additional installation-steps.
