I was on my way to UP Village again. I was broke and was planning to consign a few books to sell at a bookshop there. Walking the backpack came in handy as the books fit snugly inside. Late in the afternoon children were already out in the street playing.
There were toys strewn all over the road in front of a pre-school at Matahimik.
A few steps away a paper cup lay on the gravel. I pondered over whether it was some adult's litter or some little kid's toy.
Walking along I myself felt like a kid curious to learn why someone smashed a hole in the wall
A block away I silently praised the paint job that gave the gates' texture . . .
. . . and wondered why I had never heard mass at Immaculate Heart of Mary Parish Church
I marveled at the fresh bright greens at Mahusay . . .
. . . and ended up at the bookshop where a group of artists where having a forum.
After perusing the new titles I went home happy carrying a 1948 edition of The Divine Comedy of Dante Alighieri, translated by Lawrence Grant White, with engravings by Gustave Dore.
Still a productive afternoon, I'd say.
