She’s waiting? She’s exhausted? She’s given up?
What I’m finding the hardest part of Jakarta life is the towering architecture next to the destitute people. I’ve blogged about this before, but dichotomy is a way of life here. I want to save every one of these people who look like they need help. At the same time, I can’t always tell who needs help.
This lady looked sad. She could be really tired. Maybe exasperated. I don’t know.
The tugging of the heart….something we have and always will experience in Guatemala….we too want to save them all….bless you….

That’s life and you captured it!
Mismatch is the term; 1st) the “architecture next to the destitute people” as you’ve said
2nd) mismatched footwear
sad as it is.

It’s weird…I never even noticed the mis-matching footwear. Usually I’d notice that kind of thing, but I was more captured by her face. Good call, Chloe and Tania.

You have captured the complexity of modern life. We can look & comment on the post. We feel the desire to reach out & help. We can feel helpless or empowered to act.
