Humanity begins at home.
Two Audiences
I do wonder if I need to write this one. My time here at Vocal has allowed me to write about things that I had deep in my thoughts and had nearly abandoned as possible topics worth sharing. The pieces on literature, movies, music, my travels and other obsessions were worth the time spent shaping and creating them. But I have not covered everything I want to say about why I do this. Maybe that is a well that I will continue to draw from as long as I have a medium that will accept it. And you have all been very open to whatever has hit this page.

New traditions, a dia de los muertos story
Carolina stood in the middle of her Florida apartment, surrounded by shopping bags from Michael's and Publix. She felt both nervous and excited, wondering if she was doing the right thing and if she would get it right. The late October Doral heat pressed against her windows as the sound of airplanes destined for Miami International airport breezed by. A YouTube tutorial on creating ofrendas played on her phone. The phone, propped on her dining room table by sugar skulls and stacks of old photos she had selected for the occasion. Growing up, her mother had always kept their Colombian traditions alive - masses, novenas, black dress and black coffee and prayers, many prayers. Now, at twenty-eight, she found herself drawn to a different way of remembering. A new way, from a familiar but foreign tradition.
