Taking a sick day...
I had a thought for a blog entry today, but it hurts my head too much to think that hard... My lungs are on fire and I just don't want to deal with it.
I did find this cool news story... Hope you are as inspired by it as I was.
"NEZAHUALCOYOTL, MEXICO - A rugged, 70-year-old Jesuit priest stops his SUV on the soggy road that runs through Mexico City's largest dump and asks: "Where's mass today?"
"Down there," announces an elderly, hunched-over woman, pointing to a nearby clearing, where garbage pickers are converging to sift through a newly deposited pile of rubbish.
At the site, Father Guevara unfolds a small metal table, places a lace doily over it, and waits patiently for his flock. Eventually about 150 workers gather, taking a break from hauling refrigerator-sized garbage bags bursting with bottles and flattened cardboard. They keep their hoods and kerchiefs on, shielding their faces from the dust and eye-stinging toxic air. Mass begins."
