Yesterday we were introduced to the Raramuri. People. Ray already knew a bit about them as they are famous for their exceptional long-distance running. They run barefoot, which is hard to imagine with the rocky ground in Copper Canyon.
Interestingly, the name they chose for themselves means “those who walk well”. For them walking well is more of a life philosophy rather than anything athletic. They have a tradition to help those in need. The Raramuri have a term—korima—a commitment to justice and honourable actions. So, I encourage you to walk well today. You are Always in My Prayers. Love Mom.

In the light on sunrise and sunset the canyon has a copper colored glow.

They are able to run long distances in bare feet. It started a trend towards barefoot running, but those who have worn shoes all our lives find it difficult.
