#5

A crowded bus. A mother, sitting, perched on the bench seats between her two children, a boy and a girl, full of energy. Her tired eyes full of love and worries. She stares into the distance, quietly answering the barrage of innocent questions from her little girl. The boy picks his nose. The girl, in a moment of tranquility, rests her head in her mother’s lap. Her mother strokes her hair and stares into the distance.
