The Magic of the Cities.

Zen promotes the rediscovery of the obvious, which is so often lost in its familiarity and simplicity. It sees the miraculous in the common and magic in our everyday surroundings. When we are not rushed, and our minds are unclouded by conceptualizations, a veil will sometimes drop, introducing the viewer to a world unseen since childhood. ~ John Greer

Alvaro Obregon Ave




“Hace mucho que el mundo puso en duda los valores, las creencias y las verdades que en otros tiempos sostuviera. Ahora más que nunca, en la historia humana, necesitamos preguntarnos –todos nosotros, santos, pecadores, mendigos, legisladores, militares– adónde vamos. ¿Podemos detenernos? ¿Podemos, de algún modo, hacer frente? ¿O ya es muy tarde?”
“Es muy alto el precio que debe pagarse por las comodidades aparentes y los adelantos que ofrece el mundo occidental. Dicho precio es la muerte, pero no en pequeña escala, sino al mayoreo…”

"The world has long questioned the values​​, beliefs and truths that once hold. Now more than ever, in human history, we need to ask-all, saints, sinners, beggars, legislators, military-where we're going. Can we stop? Can we somehow cope? Or it's too late? "

"It's a very high price to be paid by the apparent comforts and advances offered by the Western world. This price is death, but not on a small scale, but wholesale."
Henry Miller.

Iglesia de Romita / Romita Church


Detail:


The name of Colonia Roma comes, not from the Italian city, but from a small village located in a corner of what today is Colonia Roma. The Pueblo de la Romita during Aztec times was named Aztacalco and its name was changed after the Spanish conquest when the church N. Señora de la Natividad (Our Lady of the Nativity) was built in 1530. Even if most of La Romita was destroyed in the early 20th century, when Colonia Roma was developed, the church still remains, now its name is Temple of St. Francis.
