Congratulations! Julia Nurse "Learning the Flamenco" While I shaped their view of America, my isolated children from Andalusia molded me. Now back home in Missouri, 5,000 miles away from the hills of Bedmar and the surrounding endless olive groves, I'm not the same person I was eight months ago. I appreciate and understand people in a way I never could have before living in Spain. Though we may be separated by language or landmass, all humans, deep down, are similar. We all have needs to love, to learn, to be heard and respected. To find meaning in our lives and to belong to something bigger than ourselves. Wherever life may take me, I'll always remember it only takes one small step outside my comfort zone to refocus and see that my neighbor and I really aren't so different at all. - Julia Nurse |
