Zeruak eta lurrak
Zuhaitzak lotzen ditu zeruak eta lurrak. Zutik den haitzak. Ez harrizko haitzak, harkaitzak. Ezta zurkaitzak ere. Bizirik behar du zurak; zuhaitz behar du.
Zuhaitzak zainak ditu lurrean eta zainak zeruan. Sustraiak lurrean eta sustraiak zeruan. Adarrak lurrean eta adarrak zeruan. Besangak lurrean eta besangak zeruan. Zein da handiagoa, lurpeko zuhaitza edo zerukoa? Zuhaitz helduetan, gehienean, handiena lurreko zatia dela dema egingo nuke. Biak antzekoak direla jo dezagun. Bi oihal josten dituzten albainuak bezalakoak dira zuhaitzak, lurrak eta zeruak harilkatzen. Elkarri ihes egin nahi dioten bi batean heltzen dituen kateorratza.
Zuhaitzak diren tokietan lotura egina dago. Basoak oihanak zuhaiztiak eraitsitako tokietan beste haitz batzuk zutitu genituen. Zeruak eta lurrak eta zeruak lotuko zituzten zutikako haitzak: menhirrak, iruinarriak, harrespilak, mairu baratzeak, jentil baratzeak... Geure buruak gure otoitzak behar zituen kateorratzak.
Zuhaitzen lan horren arrasto ugari dugu. Etxeko atearen hutsartea zaintzeko jartzen ditugun lore-txortatxoak, lizarrak (Fraxinus excelsior), elorri zuriak (Crataegus sp.), erramuak (Laurus nobilis) eta palmak (Phoenix canariensis). Etxeari teilatua ematean gailurraren muturrean jartzen zaion lizarra edo erramua; trapalaren, montxorraren edo ostrokuaren dei eta eskari. Ateburuan eta sabaian azpitik igarotzeko zintzilikatutako mihura (Viscum album). Bizitzara lotzen gaituzten kateorratzak.
Mihuraren gurtza ez da berdantza-bartekoa. Zuhaitzak hostoak galdu eta soiltzen denean, hor jarraitzen du mihurak, berde asko, bizi-bizi. Harrigarria dena gurgarri. Haritzean hazitakoa omen da auzoko galoentzat onena. Gaitz ugariren sendabide, eta sutetik babesten duena. Udako solstizioan, egun luzeenetan biltzen zen. Eta lehengo urtekoa sutara. Sanjoan suaren garrantzia. Ez dut ezagutu mihuradun haritzik. Sagarrondoak, udareondoak, ezkiak, sasiakaziak, astigarrak... baina haritzik sekula ez.
The day exceeds the night with the spring equinox. This year it happened on 20 March, at 22:59 hours, opening the door of the spring. The Eki prefix means the same thing. Until then the night had been longer. The day and night were twelve hours. Since then, the day is extended... [+]
Time has been on our line for a long time, but the climate is relatively recent. There is no need to clarify too much what climate change is. Explaining what the landscape is is a redder necessity. Conferences, round tables or international conferences on climate change are... [+]
It's time to pick up the fruits and get them on the way to the lagar. Pear (Pyrus communis), apple (Malus x domestica), grape (Vitis vinifera)... It seems a short and quick road, but you have to work a lot of rodeos and their variants until the fruit becomes must and must become... [+]
In the Basque Country, agriculture is the history of permanent colonization. Like everywhere. Before, the land was not cultivated; before, the harvest was not sown; you enjoyed what was not eaten before. They had brought it all from elsewhere. Many of these stories have been... [+]
Returning to the wines that are made with the crops, the left madreselva (Humulus lupulus) is conservative and bitter tasting aggregator. The union of crops and madreselvas produces many dirty jets, especially in beer countries. A friend has just explained to me the stories of... [+]
In our house we met him with the name of madreselva (Humulus lupulus). In fact, we have worked hard and sinister on the banks of the river in our country, coinciding with the expansion of beer. We've learned that it's also called lobster, beer, beer, wart and grass on the left... [+]
Spring has brought the issue to my nose. C. worked at various research centers in New York. Bushdid, M. Oh! Magnasco, L.B. Vosshall and A. An article published by scientists Keller in March 2014 in the prestigious “Science Magazine” produced a great stir. The title says it... [+]
The curious interannual days end, those who eat and drink from the emanations of the earth. I'll eat from the best to the best. Supposedly. Heavy champagne and cava bottles are easy to dance. Even though they are of all kinds today, they were once the cider of the other barrel... [+]
