In the evenings I’m entertaining myself by playing a suite of guitar pieces by Gaspar Sanz. Only one problem: the electricity kept going out. So I lit a candle and continued playing – probably just the same way he did in 1700!This morning I began be visiting hospital patients: a lady who’s husband beat her and broke her hip, a man with a femur fracture who’s in traction, a child with a tumor of his eye. Particularly worrisome is Maria – a woman with advanced tuberculosis of her chest and abdomen. She’s just wasting away say by day. I’ve never seen any food at her bedside either. When I inquired about this the lady said she has no one to bring her food! Here, when a person comes to the hospital they must bring a family member along to provide for their personal needs (meals, washing, bathing). But Maria has no one. I summoned the hospital chaplain and he found a volunteer to take charge of this; a elder woman dressed in a ragged skirt. For me, the brightest lights as those people who, in spite of their poverty, find ways to help out one another!
