Don't have much solid info yet).<br /><br />Niki-Yes, the elders have much to share; it'd be great to have their stories and memories down in print for others in future generations to know. Mom, for example, lived through WWII and I'm encouraging her, too, to write about her stories as a kid during the War -- mundane stuff like having to always have a small bag of rice and sugar with them so that if they ran away from invading Japanese to the mountains, they wouldn't be such a burden to the people who'd take them in. It's also how Mom got steeped in Homer and British poets -- their books happened to be the ones around (they were printed and our stories weren't?!) and when she and the relatives were in hiding, she had nothing better to do than read those classics! <br /><br />Leny, I can tell from your and Jean's write-ups that great positive energy stuff continued to unfold after we had to leave.<br /><br />Yes, what was unexpected was how Michael 9my 14-year-old son) really got into the ghost stories!! He was persuaded to sleep with the lights off, except for a German Shepherd night light, but he apparently had strange dreams!<br /><br />I need to get to know more of Colombian "indigenous" history. One thing Philippines and Colombia have in common is colonialism, after all....<br /><br />best,<br />Eileenna https://www.blogger.com/profile/07180242483814858760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1755289677737910329.post-78802229195338844572010-08-02T12:58:51.436-07:002010-08-02T12:58:51.436-07:00Eileen, i've started to post about this event:...Eileen, i've started to post about this event: http://kathang-pinay2.blogspot.com/2010/08/notes-from-evening-of-dawac-stories.html<br /><br />did Michael leave the lights on? :-))Kathang Pinay2https://www.blogger.com/profile/12171637803955445185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1755289677737910329.post-49597111718126917392010-08-02T12:55:11.374-07:002010-08-02T12:55:11.374-07:00i feel extremely blessed to have been surrounded b...i feel extremely blessed to have been surrounded by inspiring women! may the art of storytelling continue!Marybellenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1755289677737910329.post-47924464311317816632010-08-02T12:10:25.794-07:002010-08-02T12:10:25.794-07:00I am so moved by this!
