The here and now... and what and why

Complacency is a trap. At least that’s what I was thinking when I up and left the comfort of a Yankee prep school gig, where I taught music, amongst other things, for 28 years. There was also that life long career as a composer, musician and artist.

First, it was a year in St. Thomas, USVI, working as a reporter and shooting photography and then, a year in San Agustin Etla, Oaxaca, Mexico.
Time passed.
More time passed and a year back in the Athens of America followed by a hasty return to Oaxaca where it is all happening.
A couple of years in San Sebastian Etla and now, just down the road in San Pablo Etla. Life is good.

You can find my music on Jango (World & latin - Worldbeat) and at iTunes and most online stores.

Things that make you go... hmmmm

Christian Sect Holds Annual Gathering in Mexico (from LAHT)

GUADALAJARA, Mexico – The Luz del Mundo (Light of the World) Church began its annual gathering in this western Mexican metropolis with the participation of about 240,000 people from 42 countries.

The welcoming ceremony to the Santa Convocacion, the most important festival of this Pentacostalist-inspired denomination, included a procession in which representatives of each country carries their flag and wore typical outfits from their homelands.
......
It is expected that on Aug. 14, the day the Santa Cena (Holy Supper) is celebrated, some 300,000 faithful will congregate in the city where special shelters and dining halls have been outfitted for them.

The Luz del Mundo Church, which rejects the Trinity and the veneration of saints and the Virgin Mary, has some 5 million members all around the world.
