I took a long walk today in honor of Rod and being in a relatively poor South American country, there was little on the ground to be collected. As I continued, my eyes moved from ground to doorways and I found myself doing the most natural thing I could think of: holding open a door in an old Portugese church. This simple act of service brought somewhat surprised smiles from the older folks that were entering, bundled against a winter wind. I felt barriers fall more rapidly than any of my fledgling attempts to speak Spanish. Thanks Rod for this gift.
