“Maybe there´s no home, just road´s end.”
― Tony Cohan, On Mexican Time: A New Life in San Miguel

“The day set out from the east and started walking. The day is on a journey. We're woven into the design of that day, though we're not inventing it”
― Tony Cohan, On Mexican Time: A New Life in San Miguel

“You labor to untangle the pre-Hispanic from the Catholic Spanish from the contemporary. This occupies you for a long time in Mexico. Finally you realize it's like trying to separate the different parts of a plant (a “burning flower,” the desert Huichol people call life's origins). Apostate from the cult of tomorrow, you begin to see that the future has already passed, many times, and around you lie the ruins of old futures dreamed. You arrive, with a bump, back in the layered, resonant Mexican present, your eyes open, your reality wider.”
― Tony Cohan, On Mexican Time: A New Life in San Miguel
