Cando o fío aprendeu a falar

Os soldados nunca se decataron dela.

Sentouse onde sempre se sentaran as mulleres. Estaba xunto á fiestra e á estrada. Estaba preto das vetas de ferro da vía férrea. Tiña as mans ocupadas, o seu ollar suave. O amor estaba nos seus ollos. A música lenta das agullas repiqueteaba coma a choiva sobre a lousa de Bethesda. En Gales, chamaríanlle cynefin, o consolo do coñecido. En Galicia, as cousas sempre se fixeron así. Máxica, misteriosa e consciente.

Oza-Cesuras, Europa 17. Dezember 2025

Als Garn sprechen lernte

Die Soldaten beachteten sie nicht.

Sie saß dort, wo Frauen seit jeher saßen. Am Fenster, an der Straße. Nahe den Eisenadern der Eisenbahnlinie. Ihre Hände waren beschäftigt, ihr Blick sanft. Liebe lag in ihren Augen. Das leise Klicken und Klappern der Nadeln klang wie Regen auf dem Schiefer von Bethesda. In Wales hätte man es Cynefin genannt, die Geborgenheit des Vertrauten. In Galicien, wie es seit jeher üblich ist. Magisch, geheimnisvoll und achtsam.

Quand la laine a appris à parler

Les soldats ne la remarquèrent même pas.

Elle était assise là où les femmes s’étaient toujours assises. Près de la fenêtre et au bord de la route. Non loin des rails de la voie ferrée. Ses mains étaient affairées, son regard doux. L’amour brillait dans ses yeux. Le doux cliquetis des aiguilles résonnait comme la pluie sur l’ardoise de Bethesda. Au Pays de Galles, on aurait appelé cela du « cynefin », le réconfort du connu. En Galice, c’était la tradition. Magique, mystérieux et empreint de sérénité.

जब धागे ने बोलना सीखा

सिपाहियों ने उस पर कभी ध्यान नहीं दिया।

वह वहीं बैठी थी जहाँ औरतें हमेशा बैठती थीं। वह खिड़की के पास और सड़क के किनारे थी। वह रेलवे की लोहे की नसों के पास थी। उसके हाथ बिज़ी थे, उसकी नज़रें नरम थीं। उसकी आँखों में प्यार था। सुइयों का धीमा म्यूज़िक बेथेस्डा स्लेट पर बारिश की तरह क्लिक और क्लैक कर रहा था। वेल्स में, वे इसे साइनेफिन कहते, यानी जानी-पहचानी चीज़ों का आराम। गैलिसिया में, चीज़ें हमेशा इसी तरह की जाती रही हैं। जादुई, रहस्यमयी और ध्यान से किया जाने वाला

When Yarn Learned to Speak

The soldiers never noticed her.

She sat where women had always sat. She was by the window and by the road. She was near the iron veins of the railway. Her hands were busy, her gaze soft. The love was in her eyes. The slow music of needles clicked and clacked like rain on Bethesda slate. In Wales, they would have called it cynefin, the comfort of the known. In Galicia, the way things have always been done. Magical, mysterious and mindful

A Dozen Data Wishes for Christmas 2025 — and a Sharper, Smarter New Year

Defining Goodstrat.com: A Strategist’s Digital War Room

In the sprawling digital bazaar of 2025 and the impending and interesting 2026, where every second-domain site peddles AI hype, data fakehouse, data mess or crypto snake oil, goodstrat.com stands out as a refreshingly unapologetic intellectual fortress.

It’s not a glossy corporate brochure. It is not a paywalled newsletter farm. It’s the online HQ of Martyn Richard Jones. He is a grizzled data, information and knowledge architect and self-styled “Data Shouterer-in-Chief.” He’s been dissecting the guts of information systems since the dial-up era.

Full-Private Number-One in the Awkward Squad of the rank and file of life was Sloppy, and yet had his glimmering notions of standing true to the Colours.

Charles Dickens, Our Mutual Friend

I am a sceptic, part of the awkward squad of troublemakers.

  • The awkward squad consists of people who ask questions and who won’t stop asking until they arrive at the crux of the matter.
  • The awkward squad won’t take bullshit for an answer.
  • The awkward squad are unquestioningly not pre-programmed to follow specific paths.
  • The awkward squad will speak truth to power.
  • The awkward squad will question everything.

Such as, “What the hell is that all about?”

Martyn Richard Jones, A Coruña, 22nd April 2025 – Buy Revealing Wealth

Introduction

If anything, taxes for the lower and middle class and maybe even the upper-middle class should even probably be cut further. But I think that people at the high end – people like myself – should be paying a lot more in taxes. We have it better than we’ve ever had it.
