Surprise Package from Honduras (x-posted to the 10percentclub)

[avad]

I received this unexpected package in the mail. It's from a Peace Corps Project I contributed to in Honduras- you might remember:
Women's Bread and Sewing Microbusiness







I held that pillowcase in the car...fingering the embroidery...smells of dirt...and little stains..trying to connect..see where it came from...those hands...imagining..
I feel both happy and sad..my heart...hard to explain...all those miles between us...a real person..worlds away yet so close...and I hope so much she is doing well.
