As today marks the first day of June, I chose a poem I wrote in June of 2011 for this weeks 'Personal Revival'. I wrote this while on my first vacation from working in Central America, around 10 months after I started. It represents a time when I was processing how to remain true to myself, my historical roots, and my then present reality.
"Two Worlds"
Two worlds
One me
Grateful for break in American life
Grateful for raw truth and beauty in Honduran life
Little by little, taking it in...
