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.

Human Rights Caravan Sets Off for Southern Mexico

Full story from LAHT

MEXICO CITY – More than 600 people, led by prominent poet and activist Javier Sicilia, left this capital Friday bound for southern Mexico and neighboring Guatemala to raise awareness of the plight of undocumented migrants and other victims of violence and government neglect in that region.
Southern Mexico is home to communities that have been excluded by “the modern economic model” and have been “wronged throughout the country’s history,” said Sicilia, who especially noted the marginalization of areas with a mostly indigenous population.

“The south is different,” a part of the country with a great tradition of “grassroots and civic movements that doesn’t exist in the north.”
