This magnificent refuge is inside you. Enter. Shatter the darkness that shrouds the doorway. Step around the poisonous vipers that slither at your feet attempting to throw you off course. Be bold. Be humble. Put away the incense and forget the incantations they taught you. Ask no permission from the authorities. Slip away. Close your eyes and follow your breath to the still place that leads to the invisible path that leads you home. - St. Teresa of Avila (1515-1582)

Friday morn
It´s Friday morning and I don´t have Spanish today because Sylvia, my 24 year old Arequipan tutor, had to take her baby boy to the hospital for his vaccinations. So I am lazing about the house a bit, practicing my lessons and may head to the local market soon to buy some vegetables and toilet paper - if I can rally to leave in time. Need to be in town by 1:15 to meet the gang and take our bus. Today is ¨Fun Friday,¨the day we bring fruit to the school and also try to organize a group game for the kids at the cancha. Jim thinks we should try kickball since it´s suitable for a wider range of ages. Danni and I also have some ideas for our class, though we haven´t yet bought the supplies we would need to execute them. Hmmm maybe I can pick some up at the market (did I mention it has everything)?? Joel needs a new puzzle and the glitter glue is running out fast. Amazing how the week has flown, so so fast. Any yet I feel like I´ve been here so much longer. So much to see, do and process. It is summer outside. Is it really actually almost November?
