At the apartment now. The past 24 hours have been a whirlwind! Around this time yesterday felt very overwhelmed and foundationless, bombarded by images and unable to cover anxiety with positivity. But – these things happen. Don’t think it’s a coincidence that today’s word of the day is “solace” – and it’s the first day of spring! New beginnings...Grace filled day, sacred spaces...
Going to be spare on words and try to upload some pictures now that I’m getting a wireless connection.
My anti-sentence recap of the past little-over-24 hrs
Tears during tea time
Comforting by madre
Adventures on the subte
Evening at the bar when my spirits returned!
Appreciating a likeminded SITer good friend Claudia
Culture comparisons with businessmen enjoying their happy hour
Midnight-spring!
Returned happy
Sound sleep
Peaceful breakfast of coffee/banana/crackers with cheese and marmalade
CEDES for La Deuda Interna
Spinach and onion pizza with salad with Claudia at an outdoor cafe
Subte to Plaza de Mayo
Marched with mothers... que una lucha.
Visited the bookstore/cafe of las madres
Heard a couple of the moms tell their stories... more on that later.
Felt alive power walking through the city
Bought flowers to celebrate the day
photos coming here
A thought... (from Mom, “Soul Boosters”)
The meaning of life is to see! — Hui Neng quoted in A Zen Book of Hours by Frederick Franck To Practice This Thought: Go for a walk around the block. Really see everything along the way.

Hey Colleen-- I love reading your blog. It sounds like you're having an amazing time and really "seeing the block." (That sounds better in context, I guess- haha) Best wishes!
