Ysabel de la Rosa: Whose day?

http://ysabeldelarosa.blogspot.com/2015/02/whose-day.html

February 11, 2015. Years ago, I made some collages using pages from a desk calendar from the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The image that leads this post is one. Inside the hearts and flowers is a picture from the MMA collection of a Japanese screen made in the 16th century. The title comes from a 10th-century poem:. The fragrance seems even more alluring than the hue,. Whose sleeves have brushed past? Or would it be this plum tree blossoming here at home? Ado no ume zo mo. Metropolitan Museum of Art.

Ysabel de la Rosa: Smell Defense: A Role in National Security?

http://ysabeldelarosa.blogspot.com/2015/02/smell-defense-role-in-national-security.html

February 18, 2015. Smell Defense: A Role in National Security? The notion first occurred to me after a party in the 90s. A friend and I bought food trays from a rather gourmet grocery store to take to this party. We did notice, at the time of purchase, that the crudité. Tray smelled a tad cruder than it should, but we reassured ourselves that the broccoli on the tray was most likely only a little less than fresh. Besides, we were running late. I surveyed the refrigerator. I hunted behind jars. I ...Yes, ...

Ysabel de la Rosa: Blind to Everything but Color: A Kind Word for Ms. Dolezal

http://ysabeldelarosa.blogspot.com/2015/07/blind-to-everything-but-color-kind-word.html

July 19, 2015. Blind to Everything but Color: A Kind Word for Ms. Dolezal. Everyone knows now that Rachel Dolezal is descended from Northern and Eastern European ancestors, rather than African ones (I should say descended directly from, given that most humans of all skin colors have some African DNA in their systems). What news I 've read or heard, and the countless sarcastic jokes, leave me deeply puzzled by the widespread response of outrage and outsized disdain over this one woman's life choices.

Ysabel de la Rosa: December 2014

http://ysabeldelarosa.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html

December 30, 2014. Happy New Year from Robert Burns et moi. Ysabel de la Rosa. Sketch—New Year's Day, 1790. This day, Time winds th' exhausted chain;. To run the twelvemonth's length again:. I see, the old bald-pated fellow,. With ardent eyes, complexion sallow,. Adjust the unimpair'd machine,. To wheel the equal, dull routine. The absent lover, minor heir,. In vain assail him with their prayer;. Deaf as my friend, he sees them press,. Nor makes the hour one moment less,. And join with me a-moralizing;.

Ysabel de la Rosa: May 2014

http://ysabeldelarosa.blogspot.com/2014_05_01_archive.html

May 11, 2014. I've recently had the opportunities to connect with faraway friends with comfortable, unhurried phone visits. What a joy! Although the conversations took place in different languages, some of our topics were the same. We agreed that life is graduate school, that we each have our own doctorates.maybe we each have several! No, we don't have certificates on the wall; instead our knowledge goes with us and stays within us, wherever we may be. Ysabel de la Rosa. Links to this post. Ysabel de la ...
