THIS BIRD HAS FLOWN. Finding personal fulfillment in a global quest for justice. Sunday, January 23, 2011. It’s been a crazy month… or two.

Most of my students from last semester have returned, along with a couple new faces. After a first few confusing, Mexican, disorganized days back, we seem to be back into the routine.
