My mind is cluttered this Memorial Day. It is hard for me to say anything coherent about this important holiday. But as I try to think my way through it I come to realize that my own personal history is so wrapped up in this. If I would have been killed in the Vietnam War I wouldn’t even have the opportunity to be here and be wrestling with my problems. Opportunity is a interesting word to use there Felipé.

Opportunity to walk the trail of life. Opportunity to experience so many things good and bad. Opportunity to eat dust and then again to have tapas with friends. Opportunity to witness births and deaths. Opportunity to have the opportunity to grapple with my current health problems too.

It might feel like Sunday but it is really Monday today. And I have a walk in a few minutes.

opportunity to love loves, Felipé.
