Signals on the Cordillera

An ancient proverb says that we should not leave any more mark in life than that of our bare feet on Earth.

The Earth was formed, according to Science, 4,543 million years ago.

The Andes Mountains were born at the end of the Mesozoic era, it was from the dinosaurs, 251 million years, until the end of the late Cretaceous, 66 million years ago.

Millions of years of outburst of megatonic explosions.

Winds, glaciers and waters still leave their mark somewhat calmer.

Also the animals that on the surface or under the sea passed their Life, from the ammonites to the vicuñas, passing through the dinosaurs. Signs are still visible if you look closely.

Our gender, the human, we left our mark, memory that we were there. Not always from our bare feet. Rarely with the respect that Creation deserves. Perhaps we lack knowing how to contemplate with a more mystical Spirit.

Who am I to determine with what gaze we should approach a place like the Balcón del Pissis. There goes each one with his conscience.
