What it means to be human
Medicine comes in all shapes and sizes from pills to exercise and at times even a heart felt experience. Recently, I attended a free outdoor concert presented by St. John’s College in Santa Fe. These concerts are presented throughout the summer; however, this week also was the opening week of the International Folk Art Market. The Folk Art Market occurs one weekend a year and brings in artisans from all over the world. St John’s College in collaboration with the International Folk Art Market presented the entire group of artists to the concert crowd. After all the countries represented had been introduced the band (excellent African music) began playing dance music. The artists and crowd began dancing together. Folks from Africa dancing along side folks from Japan next to those from Spain, Mexico, Cuba, Viet Nam, India, and from places whose names I can’t pronounce. All with hearts wide open and judgment closed. Every one of us experiencing what it truly means to be a human being.
