try and be calm and relax through the moment

Hi All
Well here in Banos, we have Tungurahua (our volcano) a-rumbling. Since about 2 o'clock this ,she has been grumbling (it sounds like thunder in the distance.) and sending out red hot stuffs. Our house is a fair distance away from her, but we can see the top over the hill/mountain that is between her and us. Last night, was the first time, I actually wondered about Banos. I woke Rob to the rumbling. He came with me out to look at the "to do" that she was and is putting off. I thought originally that it would be like thunder and then it would be over but, no so. She has been grumbling for some time, at least 5 hours. Rob, of course being calm and cool him, after he looked at her and heard what she was up to, went back to bed. I stayed up for a while and watched "natures fireworks", and here, silly me, used to say that to the kids regarding thunder, to calm them down and appreciate what was going on outside. Here, nature's fireworks mean a whole different thing and a whole different consequence. Iguess they will not be having the tours and climbs up to the cone again for the tourists, unless of course they bring good barvarian weinies to roast, no sticks required. Today as planned, Rob, the kids, and I were going to Ambato to go shopping, we will see what "the man on the street is saying" about our lady, and let you know. There is still traffic outside, even the breadboy is on his bicycle beeping that he has bread, but it somehow has a quieter edge. Soooooo, I will practice my breathing exercises and have some lemon water and follow it up with a almond shake. We are "raw fooding it" and already feeling better. There is no goal here with raw food diet, it is a change of perception. Last time, we raw fooded it, I never had felt better healthwise and Robe even stopped snoring. The kids are rawing too. The change of food is causing us all to be a bit gassy. Which it why Tungurahua is probably protesting. I think that we all best stay away from open flames and this case lava.
There is unbeleivable number of recipes and information on You-tube and the internet regarding raw food. I am at odds again about buying books on this infor as the need for helping other raw fooders is so strong, why buy the book, just help others when they are ready to change to do it too. Raw fooders are such helpful people. We are planning on going to the Raw Food Fest in Villacabamba in May and see what gives.
In the last week, we have eaten alot of nuts or nut based food recipes. I think that happens for the first while as you replace the food you want or are accostomed to. For example, we made "Vietnamese Rolls' with peanut sauce and lettuce leaf wraps, or Mango-peanut sauce served over zuchinni fetticini, spanish rice, ravioli with marinara sauce or various cookie recipes. All of these raw and all of these has recipes were found on the net or you tube, and all of them yum.
We are going to Ambato, to find sundried tomatoes and such ........... if we can. So there you go the update of Banos and all that can go "Boom".
Be kind to one another and try some raw foods today, you might shock yourself, you might even like it.
