This is the Spanish "Yolo", to be referenced as svuv in future posts and therefore to be understood as you only live once, often preceding or following an event of risk taking and life shaking, also recognized as living in the moment.
Today, that consisted of swimming into the middle of Laguna de Apoyo, a volcanic crater lake, and then rising in the back of a sixteen year old's truck to the Panamerican highway, through rain and clouds and jungle monkey calls and the eventual emergence of a golden sunset, and then walking and dancing alongside this highway with the fresh breeze and open road, and then cramming backwards onto a mini bus, knee to knee with a granny lady before arriving back in our rain soaked, beautiful city.
This is life as it should be lived, grabbing what transportation comes by and watching the sunsets emerge from a thunderstorm sky.
