Last Tuesday we had our weekly spirituality night and the theme was an "I am from" poem. I didn't have to think too much before my heart connected with all the moments that bring me home, wherever I may be.
I am from going to the Plaza in Allende on Sunday nights after mass and eating caramel-filled churros and hot dogs with salsa.
I am from kisses on my forehead from the man I prayed to God for.
I am from riding my horse at Papa Carlos' ranch. Riding as fast as Valentina can go, letting her take me places no one else can. Being wild & free spirits together.
I am from bombarding my grandparents with kissies until they laugh so hard they tell me to stop, but I still don't.
I am ONE with nature.
I am from exploring new places and feeling free but safe with my soulmate by my side.
I am from sweating like a pig while dancing in a small salsa bar with my friends, drinking a mango mojito...or two.
I am from quiet spaces where my thoughts speak and my soul feels joy to BE.
I am from laying in my hammock and reading a book while the birds sing to me.
I am from thinking I would never be able to sleep on the same bed with someone who snores, until I slept with Lucas, my schnauzer fur baby.
I am from holding my handsome brother's hand while we pass by a pretty girl. No, Im not jealous.
I am from the PRESENT where the sun shines bright for everyone.
I am from GOD
Where are you from?
