✒️ "To put it more succinctly, we can only regenerate that which we already know, live, and remember.

So, let’s flip the script and write one that can’t be
greenwashed, one that outlives all attempts at betraying its meaning." 📖

- From the Essay,
"Ghosti: On Radical Hospitality"

------------------------------------------

"Para decirlo de manera más sucinta, solo podemos regenerar lo que ya conocer, vivir y recordar.

Entonces, volteemos el guión y escribamos uno que no se puede lavar de verde, uno que sobrevive a todos los intentos en traicionar su significado."

✒️ "The word [Ghos-ti] and its embodiment would have spoken into the world a relationship between guests and hosts that wasn’t self-serving, that nourished something more important – the community, home, and hospitality itself." 📖

- From the Essay,
"Ghosti: On Radical Hospitality"

------------------------------------------

"La palabra [Ghos-ti] y su encarnación habría hablado al mundouna relación entre huéspedes y anfitriones
eso no era egoísta, que alimentó algo más importante - la comunidad, el hogar y la propia hospitalidad ".

"No existe el cacao de grado ceremonial"

✒️ - From the Essay, "Ghosti: On Radical Hospi

✒️ - From the Essay, "Ghosti: On Radical Hospitality" 📖

"Ghos-ti was a way of ensuring that whether or not these people were kin, whether or not they were in each other’s lives temporarily, that their manner of being there, together, had enduring consequence far beyond their own.

It rooted people in place and became a way of acknowledging the diversity in the world."

------------------------------------------------------

"Ghos-ti era una forma de asegurar que si estas personas eran parientes o no, si estaban o no en el otro vive temporalmente, que su manera de estar allí, juntos,tuvo consecuencias duraderas mucho más allá
de las suyas.

Arraigó a las personas en su lugar y se convirtió en una forma de reconocer la diversidad en el mundo ".

"Ghosti: Hospitalidad Radical"

✒️ - From the Essay, "Ghosti: On Radical Hospi

✒️ - From the Essay, "Ghosti: On Radical Hospitality" 📖

"Today, guests and hosts are so often reduced
to servants and the served,
to buyers and sellers.

Thank the Gods it wasn’t always this way.

Thank the Gods it isn’t this way everywhere."

------------------------------------------------------

"Hoy en día, los huéspedes y los anfitriones
a menudo se reducen
a los sirvientes y los servidos,
a compradores y vendedores.

Gracias a los diosxs, no siempre fue así.

Gracias a los diosxs, no es así en todas partes"

🍫 From the Essay, "There is No Such Thing as Ceremonial Grade Cacao" 🍫

"Out at the edges of the forest where cacao leans towards the edges of the village, farmers are tending to their trees, they are ensuring that a lineage thousands of years old is rooted and nourished by their
willingness to remember them.

There is nothing overtly ceremonial about it, nothing that modern people would recognize as such, and yet, these farmers feed the spirits of local cacao Gods and ancestors in a manner that would put modern cacao ceremonies to shame... and do.

________________________________

En los bordes del bosque donde el cacao se inclina hacia los bordes del pueblo, los campesinos cuidan sus árboles, se aseguran de que un linaje de miles de años esté arraigado y alimentado por sus
voluntad de recordarlos.

No hay nada abiertamente ceremonial al respecto, nada que la gente moderna reconozca como tal y, sin embargo, estos campesinos alimentan los espíritus de los dioses y antepasados locales del cacao de una manera que avergonzaría las ceremonias modernas del cacao ... y lo hacen.

🍫 - From our new, original essay,
"There is No Such Thing as Ceremonial Grade Cacao" 🍫

"Unless we start there - with our poverty and not with ceremonializing for the sake of it, we will soon enough be calling everything “ceremonial.”

As a result, everything ceremonial will become entirely unrecognizable to those who we would properly be making ceremony for - the light-eaters and two-leggeds, the dead and the divine, and the more-than-human worlds."

___________________________________

A menos que comencemos por ahí, con nuestra pobreza, y no con ceremonializar por ello, muy pronto llamaremos a todo "ceremonial".

Como resultado, todo lo ceremonial se convertirá en completamente irreconocible para aquellos a quienes nos gustaría estar haciendo correctamente la ceremonia para - los comedores de luz y bípedos, los muertos y lo divino, y el mundo más que humano.

🍫 - From the Essay,
"There is No Such Thing as Ceremonial Grade Cacao" 🍫

"The consequence of the ceremony itself arriving
pre-packaged means that there is no ceremony.

It implies that the work has already been done and you are not needed in any such respect.

'Ceremonial grade' ensures that nothing happens.
It ensures that there is no ceremony."

_________________________________

"La consecuencia de la llegada de la ceremonia
pre-envasado significa que no hay ceremonia.

Significa que el trabajo ya se ha realizado
y que no se le necesita en tal sentido.

El 'grado ceremonial' asegura que no ocurra nada.
Asegura que no haya ceremonia ".
