Daily rhythms in rural Guatemala

apologies in advance for keyboard where it's easier to write without capitals..
i've been coming here now to the AFOPADI projects for 10 years, the last 3 in my dual capacity with SSG and Earthways, and it's an amazing gift of perspective. it hardly takes long to be reminded of daily passages. the roosters crow, people stir, the water comes on for a few hours (the population has grown so much that the water runs out about 8 am), the sun becomes incredibly strong, the wind blows up, birds chirp, a loudspeaker announces the village gathering, the energy calms, the stars emerge and i am overwhelmed with our small place in this world.
