Morning Prayer: A true testament to our commitment to the pillar of spirituality
Every morning at 6:15 Marina, Nelly, Nolvia, and I start the day with a brief prayer. We take turns leading and take five to ten minutes to start our day of in a peaceful state of prayer. The true commitment comes in the fact that none of us our morning people, in any form.
I am like a zombie, physically present, but not awake in any mental form. Nelly brings her “grumpy pants” every morning, sometimes giving others deaths stares simply for breathing in her presence. Marina and Nolvia are actually awake, but not ready for social interaction. Marina is usually anxiously awaiting all of us at 6:10 as she wants time to eat breakfast before she has to leave for school at 6:30. Nolvia has a very strict morning routine of ironing her uniform, making her breakfast, etc., and simply does not understand why anyone would try to even walk in the same space as her to interrupt it despite the fact that we share the apartment.
Despite all these quirks, every morning without fail all show up on time. All are respectful, and participate. The joint commitment to the pillar of spirituality of the finca is undeniable and a truly beautiful thing.
