Tortillas, Firewood and Women: Entagled beings

It was in the kitchen, making tortillas with the women (or at least trying to), that I began to understand how much of their life was entangled with firewood. From the moment they wake up, firewood accompanies women throughout their day. They have learned everything about it: how to light it, move it, which firewood is better, which one creates more smoke, which one lasts longer, which trees provide better wood. It is an embodied knowledge. They show you with their body what they know: how to resolve every little problem that arises in the kitchen.
