loved this sweet lady i met in the DR on a back country road in the hills. i was drawn to her and then she with me.. she grabbed me by the arms..my hand , me helping her walk up a steepish hill and up to her home... where she introduced me to her two daughters and grandkids... they offered me some food.....

where would this ever happen here? mb some where.. but it is this type of connection and humanity that i live for... when we see each other.. with respect and dignity... willing to open up enough to let these magnificent simple moments occur

i look forward to more and more of this.. it's what makes me feel so inspired and alive
