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.

Nine!

That's how many earthquakes we had this morning.... These shots snagged from FB.
And last night, just down the road from me after a very intense rain/hail storm.
Resulting in this....
I, like so many, am fine, but am shell-shocked.  I am continually amazed by the Mexican people and how they respond to these horrible events.  And I am saddened that the official US response to all the hurricanes and now, these earthquakes, has been almost non existent.  Puerto Rico, the islands of the Caribbean, Houston, Florida..... I think I'll take a knee and I hope many others will as well.

And tonight I still keep feeling the earth tremble, or is it all in my rattled head?
