Chano, it sounds like this was a profound trip for you in so many ways, on so many levels. Such beauty and sadness. Grief of your own and the collective grief we carry when we visit sites of profound loss. Thank you for sharing this essay.

Nancy, you're right. When we go through grief, it opens us up to a whole new world. Thank you so much, my friend.
