Roma

Last week we were at the Roma Refugee Camp located outside of Podgorica.  The Roma are beautiful people, beautiful smiles, dark brown eyes, dark hair, and beautiful skin. 

I have never been able to reconcile the injustices of the world.  I have tried for several days to write down my thoughts and feelings, but it just comes out trite and meaningless.  Maybe one day I will be able to put my heart into words and actions.

smiles, running water, toilets,  runny noses, shoes, bare feet, dirty faces, clean faces, boys doing back flips for a photo, girl friends wanting their picture taken together, patty cake with adults, shelter, grace, my apartment, heaters, electricity, songs from summer camp,  a little dirty hand that slipped into mine and held on tight, thanks from moms, dads that are thankful that their kids are not forgotten
