Today a couple came early and asked to use the space under the
Almond tree, I said of course. Later a man with his kids came and asked
the same question, the other people were out swimming so it appeared
there was no one there. I said that some other people were already
using that space. He thanked me and went on his way.

Later I took a siesta, when I woke the people I had originally let use
the space, the man with kids whom I had told the space was already
occupied, and the family who have been using the space for the past
few day's were all under the tree sharing the space without any problems
whatsoever. As I went from where I sleep to the office I just smiled
at the cooperation, many words unspoken there. The family who have been
using that area every day offered me food (as they have done every day
they used the space). Today I said no thank you, yesterday the soup was
the best!

Sharing, caring, leaving things open to be what they are vs casting
my preconceived (based on the distant past) mindset / program upon them.
Thank you Mexico, I am learning.
