Talk on Corners

Places at the end of our street; listening to the retelling of stories, breathing fresh air, watching the energetic shooting hoops.... where everyone is welcome to the curbside open forum.

My Corners:
This place where two cultures merge, where I find myself laughing, wondering and musing over life, its contrasts and direction....

A family, a house, a city, one island among thousands.....South East Asia.

The brief sigh of silence inside four walls; a welcome break from the bustle of kids, cockroaches in the bathroom, an endless 'to do' list and limited brainspace. The chance to breathe and indulge in the conversations of my head .... and where you are welcome.... here on my curbside for this moment...My open forum....

'Still round the corner there may wait A new road or a secret gate.'
J.R.R. Tolkien
