simple pleasures

we held the cine-forum tonight
in the open air
centre of chongon
a small crowd of 20 
and others watching from around the basketball court
or through the fence
we are starting to create a rhythm
a space 
where people come together
watch as a community
watch 
with a purpose
discuss
baby-steps 
but the potential is palpable




finding myself in deep moments of joy
a child laughing

a warm hug

a greeting from a stranger passing by

a smile

a twinkle of an eye

"Joy gives us wings! 

In times of joy our strength is more vital, our intellect keener, and our understanding less clouded. 

We seem better able to cope with the world and to find our sphere of usefulness."

Abdul-Baha, Paris Talks
