HOW MANY PEOPLE NEED TRUE LOVE?
Our census of the senses showed us that although true love exists it is not possible or even necessary for all. The range of answers was thought provoking and impressive. Answers ranged from an espousal that God was the only thing capable of true love to comments that orphans are the only ones that need true love. Other answers were more exact, stating that 6 people need true love or even a billion. The day ended without numbers but with buoyant hearts that almost danced like rain clouds above our heads as we walked back to the Un Mundo building. As the questions stirred in our heads about the question of our census we reached to revisit questions about this type of work, driven by big questions and then attempted to weave connections with the present tense of the students. We lingered in thoughts about relationships and partnerships and the arts role in community development but more in how people learn and how these type of engagements create bonds of shared experience and hopefully new levels of understandings of ourselves and the world we live in.

Amen, sister! This is all very touching on so many levels. Your courage to go there and use what you do to create thought and change on whatever scale is commendable and beautiful. Sure you have left your mark on these people and have brought back a heart and mind of your own that is now more full and with more questions and curiosity than before. ¡¡OLÉ OLÉ!!
