life as it is

It has been an incredible week so far. I have connected in such deep ways with so many new friends, I have eaten my first arepa, and drank my first mani juice. I had my first rehearsal with a beautiful group of 15 women in "Cantoria Cuarto Menguante", who I am so excited to get the chance to sing with, and I was honored to be a part of the first (wonderful) rehearsal of the new Batuta Symphonic Choir of Bogotá-- and I just finished making a great pasta dish to pass at my language school's international potluck tomorrow. I'll be leaving Bogotá to go to the northern coastal city of Cartagena to study Spanish, play in el mar, visit the Cartagena Centro de Batuta and just see a different part of Colombia on Saturday (so I won't be online next week!). I'll be back in Bogotá the following week.

I must leave with this quote that happens to be doing much good at the moment, reminding me to stay in the now, and to let go of all expectation. How about that painting? -C


'Peace is the result of retraining your mind to process life as it is, 
rather than as you think it should be.'
