Feliz Noche Buena! I especially appreciate this post because we are often in Oaxaca for the holiday season. But just want to add that the line from Machado is “Se hace camino al andar” (which I know, in part, because it’s tattooed on my arm).

Mark, I enjoy your gentle and reflective posts. I enjoy the poetry, yours and other's, that you include. Bless you.

Reading this, as with many of your posts, I'm back in Oaxaca (was there one time for Noche de Rabanos :~) and remember it like a vivid dream. Sending you appreciation (yashar koach) for your travels through alteratives and recovery. Blessings to you and Katherine and Jesse.
