Portraits in BW - People of East Timor
Old people...
Young people...
There's no generation gap. They all live the way they've been living for centuries. Young always respect and venerate the old. Not a thing many so-called developed countries can say they are proud of these days.
Families live together. All together. Big families, several generations, all helping each other to make a living. To put food on the table.
And they smile. They always smile. And laugh. Like if their lives were easy. Like if they had everything. They smile more, much more than us in the western world. I was no longer used to see or hear people laughing out loud. Or smiling at me and saying good day in the streets, when they pass by. People I don't know and I had never seen before. They smile and greet me. Everyone that crosses my way, no matter their age.
God bless these people! People who are deeply devoted to Him!
Yours,
Isabel
