ON THIS DAY...1994

Living in an ex-convent
Oaxaca,Mexico
January 1-NAFTA signing
January 1- Zapatista uprising

The Revolution was not being televised.
It was live.

At 9 months pregnant,I was a bit unnerved and asked my friends,”Do you think I should be concerned about this Revolution?”
“No”, they said,”Why?”
Pointing to my belly , I said, "I am nine months pregnant."
“Oh”,they said, "It’s just a little Revolution."

It was a new beginning.
A new journey.
A new life.
