Waiting at the crossroads

Street corners are always interesting places. You can either go, come or just wait. The man sitting on the brick ledge is dwarfed by the mountain of cardboard boxes that have been collected for recycling. And in a way it is indicative of the way we live today, where our excesses create waste that threaten to engulf us. At least the waste here is being recycled; given a new life. And that is what street corners are about. It is a crossroad where we can choose to go in a different direction, bringing about a new beginning, sometimes good, sometimes bad. Or we can turn back or we can simply wait; but hopefully not for Godot.
