Entonces (and then)

When people are speaking in Peru they frequently interject ‘entonces’ into the conversation!  We went to Peru And then… We arrive home and what does that mean?

The lack of noise is deafening here in the USA! Even in the mountain villages all kinds of noise! Roosters and honking from the taxi’s taking folks from Quillo to Casma!

The poverty that limits people from accessing health care, a basic essential item is really moving.

We have a new understanding and feel blessed for the “things we have” – water, (hot and safe to drink), health care, the role of women in our country. I was struck with the work women do, while the men walk along side them, the physical abuse and the lack of opportunities!

We have a new understanding of being  flexibile in life. It  is necessary for learning and moving forward! And mostly we learned from the people we met. We met  a 98-year-old women and man in Peru. It so awesome that having a babies is such a universal experience for women. We have learned to appreciate  the environment we function in and the difference in the environment for others. In this case there is no refrigeration for ice packs or sitting on the floor is essential for Peru in Quillo.

Language is a tool for the exchange of human experience, creating connection and trust!

Entonces we are home, we have learned, we have created a human connection that is greater than individuals but is part of the bigger human experience!

Until next year,

Muchas Suerte (good luck!)
