¡Hách Utz (How beautiful) is this life!

I am returning from a lovely morining full of a bike adventure to a near by pueblocito to learn about some magical plants from a good hearted man, Fliex, I joked that we were Feliz because I was happy to be with him and his name is prounouced Fiez, which is happy. Fliex, full of life and full of love, was happy to show me around his little solare or home garden system, growing in abundance of medicinal plants all around his house! And wow! He taught me about 20 or more incredible plants; helping and curing all sorts of sickness from cancer to diabities to the common headache. Indeed a great morning with this good man, we talked about life and about how his grandparents had taught him soo much, and we looked at old ethnobotany (the human and plant relationship) book from 1775, and both we sharing a happy glow to know the power of plants and how they are truly great friends. He told me that he knew many more plants in the wild, he told me that there are more than 1000 wonderful plants that heal everything! I gave words of inspiration to him that we should go to forest and collect many more to grow in his wonderful garden, he told me he would go soon. He is living a good life, tranquillo, as he put it, helping people with plants and not working to hard, eating the gifts of the earth, sell a little at the local market and healing the people that visit, usually up to 5 a day, but laughed that sometimes up to 20 people arrive to his home. I love the people that this magical land cultivated! Mi vida es llena de una cultura maya buena ! I am living with a wonderful family, a strong Mom, whom is friends with nealy everyone in our little community of Cepeda, mi papa ahora is a strong man, whom shares a powerful love of mine; Bicycles, he fixes the towns bicycles. My days are filled with wonderful people and many wonderful family members. I have been here in Cepeda less than a week and my heart is being filled quickly with this wonderful little community. I have been helping out at the local school full of soo many wonderful kids and teenages, so eagar to learn and they have much curousity with me and is nearly impossible to walk by a class room, without many warm and loving calls of David... Inviting me to talk to them, so I have been helping in classes about the environment, farming classes, sharing my prespectives about life, and listening to thiers. Tomarrow some teachers and I are going to create a compost system at the school with some students to teach them how to create soil full of life for the life of plants. All of this experience is soo incredible. On sunday another Yérbatero Maya whom I have befriend is a strong man deeply rooted in Na´Lúum, Mother Earth, who knows much about life and medicinal plants, has invited me to to an all day lecture about medicinal plants with others that know plants...
Now a moment for why I love spanish more than English, for the ease of expressing my heart. When I wrote how other good people that know plants, in my head I was saying people that Conoce, plants conocer is know but to know with the heart, like I know my friends and family, different form saber which is know información....
Okay well I have a bit of an adventure home so I must leave this writing, but much more goodness is ahead in this wonderful life. I have plans to fish with a good friend of mine in Meridad, and bike trips to zaranotes with some of the students at the school and many more learning opportunities to Know plants with the strong people I have befriend. I will soon begin to collect plants and with the help of some of the school teachers and the students we are going to plant a medicinal garden in the local school to help the kids develop a deeper relationships with these magical plants and our tierra madre (mother earth). Vamos a sembrar semillas de concimeinto en las mentes por el medio ambiente!
As always may peace be with you all,
Love,
David
