PS (to the post below) ...and then I have one of those magical few days which begins with a Saturday night performance of Jesus Christ Superstar at the Melico Salazar theatre, which I go to with my goddaughter and her mother after a delicious meal in the newly-expanded dining district of Barrio Escalante. We had the record (the vinyl, the LP) of it when I was younger, and I remembered the tunes even though this show was a hip hop version in Spanish.  

The next day, I go to see Everything Everywhere All at Once at the Cine Magaly with another friend. A mid-afternoon treat that left us discussing the ways and means of film-making, and martial arts and whether we had really enjoyed the film or were just glad to have seen it.

When this was topped off with a last-minute invitation to join three other friends for dinner at a Tapas place right around the corner from where I am based...well, what's a person to think? I'm finding some of the depth in Costa Rica that I had missed.

I am feeling inspired creatively and satisfied with life. Just goes to show that, for me at least, it's community and connection that gives structure and inspiration to life.
