Pensive

Grandchild of Mehmet the Conqueror, Child of Ataturk;
Contemplates a bright but fragile future.

Snapped this little girl whilst we were wondering the back alleys of Sirince Village , being led by a little dog. More about that in another post. I think this girl is the cutest little Turk I've seen on the trip. Here is another photo of her, when she was fully aware of the camera. She has that dreamy look that only little kids have, the look that is lost the moment they become savvy to the ways of the world. I wonder what's on her mind.
Work starts tomorrow. In a way it is a good thing, at least there is some form of employment, but with it comes uncertainty. But I guess there will always be uncertainty in everything. Thus far the future seems bright, as bright as the light at the end of the tunnel. Besides, all futures are fragile. The fate of nations are no different from that of individuals. The dividing line is merely scale.
