Deus Ex Maquina

Jacobo se levanta de madrugada, desayuna, ensilla su caballo y recorre sin prisa el camino que lo conduce al potrero en donde ordeña su vaca. Almuerza. Vuelve al ordeño en la tarde. En la noche escucha radio hasta quedarse dormido. Todos los dias la misma rutina. Jacobo recorre sus pasos sin mirar un paisaje que se sabe de memoria. Hasta el dia en que este paisaje se perturba con una presencia extraña, un objeto imposible que lo obliga a detenerse, a mirar. Un acto de dios.
Jacobo gets up at dawn, has breakfast, saddles his horse and walks leisurely along the path that leads him to the pasture where he milks his cow. Have lunch. Return to milking in the afternoon. At night he listens to the radio until he falls asleep. Every day the same routine. Jacobo retraces his steps without looking at a landscape that he knows by heart. Until the day when this landscape is disturbed by an odd presence, an impossible object that forces him to stop, to look. An act of god.

Jacobo se levanta de madrugada, desayuna, ensilla su caballo y recorre sin prisa el camino que lo conduce al potrero en donde ordeña su vaca. Almuerza caldo de papa. Vuelve al ordeño en la tarde. En la noche escucha radio hasta quedarse dormido. Todos los días la misma rutina. Jacobo recorre sus pasos sin mirar un paisaje que se sabe de memoria. Hasta el día en que este paisaje se perturba con una presencia extraña, un objeto imposible que obliga a Jacobo a detenerse, a mirar. Algo se rompe en el mundo predecible de Jacobo.
Jacobo gets up at dawn, has breakfast, saddles his horse and walks slowly along the path that leads to the paddock where he milks his cow. He has lunch with potato broth. Returns to milking in the afternoon. At night, he listens to the radio until he falls asleep. Every day the same routine. Jacobo repeats his steps without looking at a landscape that he knows by heart. Until the day when this landscape is disturbed by a strange presence, an impossible object that forces Jacob to stop, to look. Something breaks in the predictable world of Jacobo.
