Hey Ruth, forgot to tell you that I was talking with Heddie at dinner before the meeting with the Mayan Elders and was telling her about your book, Angel of the Maya....
One of the things I shared with Heddie was the part in the book that speaks about why people steal and or want to win the lottery. I told her the book says that people have lost faith in their dreams, so they don’t believe they will achieve as much as others. Heddie said that made perfect sense.
I also told Heddie about what happened earlier in the day that was funny. My friend Nicole and I went to Kirner’s Catholic Book Store to purchase the candles for the Epiphany Celebration. The clerk asked me what church I was affiliated with and I told him none, but he wanted me to save tax money on the candles, so I gave him the name of the church we will hold the celebration. Nicole said to me after we left the store that she thought it interesting that a clerk who works in a religious bookstore would lie in order to save me money. I laughed and told her I took it that it as his way to offer support for the celebration.
Millicent
I plan on attending the evening's events, especially to support you in your poem reading. Congratulations. See you there. Kathy
