barbiebrignoni Today I am stronger than I was yesterday < mentally, spiritually and physically > After a long week of protesting in San Juan, it’s easy to come to a point where your body and soul feel tired and uneasy. I certainly have had my days where my creativity hasn’t been flowing as it normally does. But that’s the thing. Things haven’t been normal these past few days. We have been woken up, shaken and stirred up. Looking for strength where we normally wouldn’t have and finding unity where we wouldn’t have. I for one have been looking for inner peace these days, and yes, yoga practice helped (and so much) but what really transformed me was the sequence of events that occurred right after. As we gathered up in a group circle at the end of the session, a mentally ill homeless woman abruptly interrupted the silence with words like “God is nothing”. I immediately started praying for her out loud, asking God to touch her heart, take away her hatred, her pain, her anger, her guilt. I asked Him to come over her with overwhelming love. To tell her that she is not alone and she is loved. This woman suddenly fell to the ground. For a moment I thought she had fainted. I looked at @danivassallo . We were both crying. I knew she was feeling what I was feeling. The presence of God. And if words can come close to describe this feeling, it is as if huge amount of energy is coming over you, yet you feel so much peace. Your body is shaking and you can’t stop crying. As I ended my prayer, this woman woke up, pulled herself up, and walked away quietly. I knew she walked away with God by her side. In that very moment, something changed in me as it did in all of us. God is taking over our lives and depositing love, unity, and strength. I realized that just like that woman, we PRcans are being woken up and transformed. I realized (once again) that FAITH IS STRONGER. 🙏🏼🇵🇷💪🏽
