There is a man who lives just outside of Paquime Chihuahua Mx.(also called old casas grandes)about 6 kilometers from nuevo casas grandes.I did not meet him,but
walked by his house every day.He lives in a very humble home on about 2 acres of land,land that he turned in to a park using his own money,and donations.There
is no grass,but there are several swing sets,jungle gyms,slides and carousels.Most days (over a 3 month period)I walked by,there was no one there.But on the
weekends,I would see the old man outside raking leaves,or sweeping,and talking to the parents of the children who had come to play.On these days,as I walked
by,we would smile and wave to each other,and the old boy had a contagious smile.He was beaming!I think he was in a state of bliss.What a simple beauty!There
are a lot of stray dogs there also,(in Mexico)and for some reason there was always 2 or 3 different dogs laying around his place.I really got a good feeling
everytime I walked by.This is an assumption,but I beleive this man was truly selfless.He himself lived in a shack,and he didn't have to.Being human first
and relating to these simple qualitys of man do bring me comfort.I wish you all the best!
