Homeless


When I walk early in Tasmajdan Park, I often see this woman on the same park bench.  Of course she's not there in inclement weather, but when it's warmish, she is, and I go early enough to see her awaken, make her 'bed', and then do her hair.  And then she speaks, sometimes softly, sometimes in a harsh voice, to  her suitcase.

Of course I don't stick around to eavesdrop, but this is so sad. I wonder what her story is.

Sad indeed.

She seems so very young to be in such dire straits.

It's heartbreaking but you see it everywhere. Certainly here.

And she seems to have a lot to carry around too...
Les histoires sont souvent tres demoralisantes et surtout derourantes tout du moins ici autour de TOulouse.

A very similar story occurs here in Madrid at a bus stop. Lately no longer see the lady.
Hopefully be a better place!

Always a sad thing.

Hope she doesn't have to lug all that stuff very often.
