Lunch it was! With a group of elderly men and women squatting beside each other with beautiful piercing in various part of the face eager to have me share their lunch. With great difficulty did i manage to taste the platter of strange food, lo! from inside the thatched hut strode an old lady bent over at the waist, palms greased from the coal fire she was cooking. Stretched her clasped fist and offered the most precious gift. The biggest gift one could ever get... an Egg! Hard boiled and pealed..But, BLACK from the soiled hands...her smile hushed in me all thoughts of throwing up...and her love made them appealing like the cherry on a cake.

nver seen te bottom of te ocean, nver been to te dark side of te moon, that doesn't mean that they are not there..therefore i still believe...in love,nature on its course,endurance of te human spirit n so i live

lives that have changed and challenged me...angels bed
Walking by a line of bamboo partitioned rooms, all messy...no fans..down the aisle to the left was a small cocoon. Looked warm not from the heat but the tidy neat bed made on a stone slab, just enough room for a person and a chair. I bent over the entrance, ruffled the neat pillow and lay down dazed by the medication for the allergy.
Dawn!!!! i woke up to a wall full of little diamonds formed by the light beaming through the bamboo partition, i looked around the small unfamiliar room wondering where i was...to my right was a face, head tilted on the right shoulder and sleeping. Hoooo! God! 'i am in someone’s room' was my first thought. Got up, and looked deep into that face, lovely and beautiful propped on a wheel chair was a frail body. I gently slipped out the doorway moving the crutches to make place and shaken, that I spent all evening and night in an Angels bed.
