i am grateful for mexicans looking beyond my skin. (which we(americans) can't seem to do lately, unless they are picking something) they gave me a perfect night. music, food, dancing, instant friends, brothers, sisters, love, kindness, laughter and most of all... a sense of belonging. as the basque say... 'you drink with us, you eat with us... YOU ARE US!.' mexico has not let me down, nor its people. i am welcomed everyday with smiles, love and connections that i can't seem to measure outside these boarders. i may be lacking in SPF but my heart has found a home every time i come here. please... please... remind of where i belong, and whisper... 'mexico. mexico! MEXICO!!'. i will hear you and i will come home.
... and don't let me fall asleep, because every morning i am reminded of where i 'should' be... and cry. and in the night it all returns with a tornado! "COME HOME! COME HOME! WE MISS YOU. COME HOME!"
