“I write to find strength. I write to become the person that hides inside me. I write to light the way through the darkness for others. I write to be seen and heard. I write to be near those I love.” – Shannon L. Alder

If you visited Budapest in the past (as unfortunately you cannot at the moment), most certainly you visited the Central Market Hall, located at the foot of Liberty Bridge on the Pest side. I am lucky to live nearby myself. Monika works here promoting a lovely Hungarian restaurant. She is dressed in a most beautiful, Hungarian, richly embroidered dress Kalocsai design. When at the market, it is a delight to stop at the entrance to talk to this delightful woman.
“When summer opens, I see how fast it matures, and fear it will be short; but after the heats of July and August, I am reconciled, like one who has had his swing, to the cool of autumn.” — Ralph Waldo Emerson

Today I went shopping. But not for clothes or groceries. I spent a long and wonderful time at an antique store in Budapest, looking through hundreds of old studio photographs.

“The young, free to act on their initiative, can lead their elders in the direction of the unknown… The children, the young, must ask the questions that we would never think to ask, but enough trust must be re-established so that the elders will be permitted to work with them on the answers.” – Margaret Mead
