Yaxchibonam

I have led a long and interesting life, and it keeps getting longer and more interesting.  I try to go to Chiapas and Oaxaca every year to keep in touch with the indigenous communities there.  I am a hardworking teacher and dedicated grandmother with little time to myself these days.  I come from a generation that was and is intensely interested in what’s going on in the world, and am overjoyed that I finally have a candidate I can work for.  Contributed some hard won dollars to Obama’s campaign, the first time I’ve done that in my lifetime!  I’ve been a Zen Buddhist nun in France, the disciple of an old Bengali Swami in Vedanta, a Quaker, and while I’m still a seeker—I don’t look to organized religion any longer.  Life is my teacher, and it never disappoints.
