Everywhere there are Stars

Talking with mom today about how the weather affects us, I thought, we have to be the stars when the sky is too cloudy to reveal the stars. This morning, walking to Cuastacomates, 


I seemed to see stars everywhere.  and I felt connected - even saw 'hearts' as I walked into the still sleeping village.




While walking along this road up and over the hill to the fishing village below, I thought of the long walk of La Compostelle. 

I came back to hear that I had missed the tremors from a 5.8 ocean earthquake just off the coast. I hear that on balconies, plant pots swayed and balcony rails shook.  I think about my conversation with Mom; we are indeed fragile creatures, and truly much is out of our control. What then to do, but walk with stars (estrellas) in our eyes.  :-) (Sounds better in French: étincelles de lumière. :-))

PS I know my drawings are "a piece of work", but including them as they are part of this journey.
