new project

Today I joined a new Cultural Association here, and will participate in an exhibition in March for the festival commemorating San Tommaso, or Thomas Aquinas (born here). It is really nice to be invited, and expected to be able to help develop cultural awareness in this rural town.

And... I popped out to do some photocopying, telling my neighbour I would be back shortly. He told the the people who had come to invite me that I would be back in two minutes, so they waited for half an hour (chatting to neighbours) until I returned. That's what you do here!

Today I am grateful for a sense of belonging.
