Dead end, No outlet,
It is on the road or in our lives?
Experiencing, visualizing real dead ends at a larger scale is uncommon.
What if an entire country has no way out?
What if an entire country has catastrophic events occurring all the time.
Rusty trains abandoned in the middle of nowhere.
Roads washed away by the last cyclone.
Villages and inhabitants left behind.
Mine fields on the road sides
No Way Out!
Mozambique
Beyond this fate, we might find hope
Determination can open roads
Beyond this fate, we might find smiles
Resilience can make people empowered
Beyond this fate, we might find faith
Perseverance can trigger creativity

Elsie – Thank you for your feedback. What impressed me was the attitude. In this country, people don’t look desperate, they smile. We, Europeans were not in our element when we got stuck for 2 days in 2 feet of mud. However we took time to appreciate the kindness of the locals and the beautiful milky way before falling asleep on the top of the truck.

Frank, it always amazes me how a people can smile and be happy through such challenges and difficulty in daily life. At least, when we see dirt roads, bare feet, etc., we think “oh, those poor people,” but are they really poor? Their creative spirit, resilience and perseverance make then rich in my boat…A really lovely piece you have here…
