Drawn by a Star

Dear friends, as the song says - I can't keep quiet - anymore!  I've got some good news to share. But first... what a historic week this has been.  So much confusion.  So much 'What the F* is Going On?'  So much  'How can this be happening,' etc., etc. How can we make sense of any of this? Frequently I'm not sure what I think until I see what I've written, or drawn. This has been particularly true this last week. I've felt a bit like a drone, witnessing an approaching tsunami.   Every now and then there's been a feeling  of being violently swept off my feet with the mind's voice continually yelling -  I've lost my bearing... I don’t know what to do.  Help! Major Bewilderment. Moments of deep  disbelief.  Majorly off course.  Fear.

Amerika 5 years ago . Dear friends, greetings from the land where the sky is a mixture of ultramarine and cerulean blue nearly every day, and where oranges and lemons delight the eyes at almost every turn of the road . It’s market day.  It’ll be busy and   buzzy and exciting because tomorrow is the main day of Christmas here in Spain, the day of the Three   Kings. This is the   day the children traditionally receive their presents. It’s a special day of celebration for my dear friend Loli.   Her second grandchild was born yesterday.   She’s the aunt of the young waiter Kiki who died in the fire in the bar in Lanjaron in June. Life has been hard for her family since then.  New life is utterly awesome, isn’t it! On the other side of the world in Bolivia, the 6 th of January will also be celebrated.   In Cochabamba for my beloved adopted Bolivian granddaughter Amerika, it will be a day she won’t ever forget.     Tr...
