I am going to break my “500 words, one post a day” self-imposed rule.

Several of my friends (you who are reading, perhaps) have told me that they hate the short length and the tidbits of stories. They want to know everything about my trip, and now.

It will take me a lifetime to unpack the last 3 weeks of my life: the connections, the stories, the transformations. Finally, something stirred my heart enough that I committed to writing in a public forum on a daily basis. That commitment alone speaks to the power of the journey I returned from.

I write short blocks because through the writing I maintain my connection to Juan Carlos, to Andres, to Ever and to Alto Gracia, to name only a few. Before I left I told one of my clients that what I was looking forward to was the brushing up against other people’s lives. What I didn’t know was that I would so strongly want to brush up for more than just a heartbeat.
