An old Spring House in San Miguel, Mexico -
a reminder to be grounded -
in our friendship with ourselves,
with nature,
with each other.
Grounded in uncertainty, and upheaval,
and accepting the times we find ourselves in.
Grounded in whatever way you get grounded,
for your very own peace of mind.

Yes, we are unfortunately in a time
when we must assert
loud and clear -
that
Black Lives Do Matter.
Yet all true spiritual and religious traditions
and scientific facts
proclaim for all to hear
that
We are all one
and
one with all.
Sure, we are all different colors -
but we are the same race.
In fact there is only the one race -
the human race.
All other differentiations are fairy tales -
Black families have taken a beating for hundreds of years
and it is time for all of us
to stand with all oppressed people and say -
NO MORE!

Often I catch myself sitting with my hands folded,
like a good school girl at her desk.
As a child I always loved this painting of "Praying Hands" by Albrecht Durer
Hands -
one hand washing the other -
like old friends.
Like how we help each other now -
keeping our distance, but checking in on friends and family.
Our hands,
are like good friends -
really good friends!

Well, for at least two weeks, I can account for my whereabouts!
My first trip to Mexico!
San Miguel de Allende-
cobblestone streets,
colorful houses and shops,
lovely people,
and steep steep streets,
surrounded by mountains.
A great vacation!
