Serene World

The Serene world In the little corner of the world where I live far from airports, military establishment and the liberal middle class among people who at heart are flag nationalists and proud to be Portuguese. They are not too fond of foreigners who for the most part are British who are quite happy not having to mingle with anyone. I having lived here forever is accepted as the strange silent man who, when he speaks, sounds funny and rumours has it that he writes which never fail to impress none readers. So here you have a postcard picture of an idyllic village tucked away in a valley, and the nearest it ever came to war was a bewildered plane flew low overhead the houses shock brought people out of houses talking excitedly about the near accident. But in the tiny cottage unpainted and rustic, there is near starvation, and if the winter is long the old die of cold and church bells toll.

enjoyable picture ... the warmth of humane observation in the end invites a lot of dark clouds ...
