A moment
It is not more at all. Nor is the Earth the Lesse or Loseth Aught.
For whatsoever from one place doth fall is with the tide unto another brought.
For there is nothing lost, but may be found if sought. - Spenser.

A cool tradition
Sunday was the Saint's day for St. Lucy, Santa Lucia. And here in Monterrey, the celebration was wild. By the canal downtown, there was a procession with literally a hundred girls with candles in a wreath on their head, and hundreds following them. It was so beautiful, and even though I only caught a glimpse of it, it really touched me. -

(Untitled)
What use is it to live a simplified life, volunteer at a food bank, and contribute money to relieve hunger, while doing nothing about public policies that lock people deeply into hunger? Is it sinful to waste money, but okay to waste influence that could bring far greater benefit to poor people?

Te amo, musica mexicana
Te Voy A Perder
No, no te vayas
aun quedan palabras

Falta besarte más, acariciarte
ademas de promesas

No te puedes ir
Rompe cabezas sin piezas
los planes
los sueños que apenas comiezan
esto es un error
ademas, va poner en tu bota su amor
y no como yo

Taxis, Interviews, and Dancing, oh my!

And oh Mexico! The taxi driver on the way there almost crashed into a bus, and I hit my head on the seat in front of me (no seatbelts), and on the way ( Read more... ) -
Back to whimsical happiness....
I am sure by now that everyone, from my grandmother to my new Mexican acquaintances, are utterly spent and sick of listening to me talk about Ben, and analyze what went wrong. As such, I have a new policy! My goal is to be happy, rediscover myself, and to be optimistic. I used to be so optimistic...... So here is to that optimism, and gaining ( Read more... ) -
Comfort comes from the most unusual places at times....
"So sorry to hear about your broken heart. Mother Teresa prayed that her heart be broken in many pieces so that God's love can come in. Your healing will begin with the willingness to let others, those you know, and those you've yet to know, love you and continue to love you.
You are gentle on my mind.
Frances"
