Last Sunday, Tracy put out the message, to the youngsters of the Kalpulli, that she would pay 5 pesos for each bucket of grass clippings the children brought. We need clippings to mulch the garden, and also to cover the compost (Tracy also advertises as a local dump site for organic kitchen waste).

Tracy made lunch today out of what she had in her garden. Can you see the blossoms? The orange ones are Aloe Vera blossoms, which are abundant everywhere this time of year, and the red ones are hummingbird flowers. Also in the salad are fennel, arugula, radish greens, and chicory. I’ve also put the little okras on the table so you can admire them. The other bowl has young coconut in it. Yum.
Dreaming
Dreams
And we can examine our own dreams of what feeds our spirits, what lights our internal fires, and lead our lives, a day at a time, praying for guidance for our next steps, and our next.
We can dream…
We see her boys, who we miss very much, playing in the open spaces, the woods, and the neighborhoods, as Tasha finds her niche as a healer and a gardener.
Possibility
So there are a good number of rooms, small and large, all surrounding a central garden. Tracy and I discuss our youngest sister, Tasha, who has a gift with plants, two young boys, and skills as a massage therapist and CraneoSacral therapist.
Some Vandalism
Over the years, perhaps teenagers testing (or demonstrating) their physical strength. Those teenagers are off doing things in the world of adults now, and the wall is yet to be repaired.
From the Second Floor
You can look out over what they call the barranka, or gulch, and see the horizon. The back of the building faces east, so it would be a wonderful view of the sunrise.
Obstruction
The front door is blocked by the huge poles of a teepee, being stored here, maybe for the past 10 years or so.
Healing Center
The Kalpulli was built with intentions of being an ashram, a place where people could get away and connect with the earth, and partake in indigenous rituals and ceremonies where their bodies could be cleansed and detoxified.
