"I sometimes find myself day dreaming - I am walking down a back alley in a large village, the arid landscape beyond the walls of the settlement belies the lush oasis that lays before me. Everywhere there is colour; vibrant life. And I truly do feel alive.
Babies in slings peer out at me, innocently. Children are oblivious to my wonderment as they kick their soccer ball along the dusty path with their bare feet. Woman and men are going about their daily business, too busy to notice the elation within me. And there at the end of the path is the magnetic voice of a ranchera singer, the beauty of a gypsy guitar, and the hypnotic presence of a flamenco dancer. I sit for hours in this space, entranced; lost and found in the music. I dream of Mexico."
