Part way though the chat
Hernan went off to buy me some fruit as a gift and came back laden with an
overwhelmingly generous bag heavy with strawberries, bananas, pears, nectarines
and apples, amazing! Mauro had happened to stop by as well so I left the two of
them chatting and took the fruit back to the house, returning with three mugs
of fruit salad and yogurt I’d made earlier for us to share.
I also invited Hernan to
fill in one of the postcards:
Hernan Fuentes Godoy
Challenges overcome:
Study, to have family, to have his first house and new vehicle
A dream for the future: to
go to Brazil]
What really impressed me
about our chat was that as I was asking him about his hopes and dreams for the
future he was so clear in saying well in fact he didn’t have them beacuse he
had acheived all his dreams, he was content and happy with his life in la
Serena, which he said was a birlliant place, and with his home and vehicle and
family. He had all that he wanted. What an amazing and unusual answer. What peace and happiness! And what a sense of humour - his only concern about going to Brazil he said was the risk at his age of having a heart attack because of all the gorgeous scantily dressed women!
Hernan also gifted me a
United States dollar bill, which he told me was for luck! Thanks Hernan!
And thank you for a chance
encounter that left me feeling elevated by the joy of life experiences lived and
shared in the moment... brilliant!
