Today was "ladies' day" with Holly teaching us about Feminist, Womanist and Mujerista hermeneutics. We had plenty to consider as she posted art depicting the feminine in varied cultures. She even dressed for the part, as you can see. All week long we've looked through different lenses examining how different ethnicities interpret the Bible. Today we donned purple lenses. Ask Holly about that one.
The fire in the common room was lit earlier than usual as the rain came mid-morning and hung around all day. In the late afternoon, three of us ventured out to the panaderia (bakery) down the hill from the Centro Pastoral, our home sweet home. It was all downhill there and all uphill back which made it feel like half a mile there and 3 miles back. That's okay. We worked off those pastries.
The little grocery store across the street is getting all our business - bread, Cokes, cough drops, antihistamine, and avocados. What a grocery list, huh?
Yes, the cough drops and antihistamine are for our "under the weather" friends - Erin, David, Evelyn, Kathy and Vickie. Everybody is in a different stage of wellness. The wonderful ladies who prepare our food brought us soup for lunch. They said it was the perfect cure for "what ails ya." It sure did put a smile on our faces. Maybe the soup and the prayers will bring some healing in the mountains of Costa Rica.
So, with the sound of the rain and the smell of the fire, we say, "buenos noches."
