I thought to post more from this trip...and as Life has her way of organizing events, timing, people, etc in the perfect right pace, it seems I am not able to access my email in the ways I would have liked.
I am in fact posting this blog entry in the basement of the UN awaiting the NGO coalition briefing. It will be the first one I am attending, but I expect a lively conversation to take place.
Last night at the Women's Caucus, the issues of wording needing to be addressed by the women was framed by a summary of thoughts that have been building and adjusting over the course of the process that began on Monday, April 12.
As a new participant, this all seems overwhelming. So much information, so many people. The range of emotion I find myself traveling through during the day has me restless and tired by the time I reach FC2 47th St, Brooklyn. The trip from the UN to Brookln takes about 1.5 hrs each way (including train and walking).
People of all colors, languages and ages flow through the halls. In a strange way I feel at home with this process. I often find myself flashing on Star Trek, with all the different alien species on board ships, working together.
More later....the process begins. Marta will arrive soon and I will get another dose of orienting myself in this international arena.
