5:30 am under the black pre-dawn sky in el Salvador. last night i stood on the mezzanine looking at the ink sky with its few bright stars and three-quarters of a bright moon illuminating a silver dollar of dotted clouds who were otherwise as dark as the sky in which they floated. the spread of the city continued twinkling green lights into the distance, faint specks dotting the mountains that rose silently into the darkness. i feel sad to leave this country. i have been welcomed here, well-fed here, well-coffee’d here, and there is a million other things to do that i simply could not this week. i will come back and surf in the ocean, hike the volcanoes, eat fresh mango and coconut and drink rich warm black coffee. being here has reminded me of all the dreams i have to be lived out in the near future, all of the things i want to learn.
