9 November 2025 – Another downtown alley, another grimy shed in a downtown alley, the usual casual scrawls and scars.
Amidst all that, I suddenly realize, eleven neatly lettered words.
Echoes of old strife, rage, pain and loss.
Echoes, also, of love and enduring hope for another chance.

/ 12 November 2025That’s part of the mystery — perhaps someone saw her daughter there one day, perhaps it’s just typical of the alleys when the lost & marginalized pass some time, we’ll never know. Perhaps also, the mother wrote her message in other alleys as well — putting it out to the community.
