Children of Papua 16
Papa!
We just arrived from Daru Island at this seaside village by boat and were wading towards shore when this boy sprang from out of nowhere, excitedly announced, “Papa!”, and ran towards one of my local guides. The excitement he showed told me that it’s been a while since he last saw his dad.

The drag of endless mental work in a strange land takes its toll. Fatigue can kill so petty escapades provide hopeful deviations from the brewing madness. An aging DSLR keeps good company to a walk around the neighbourhood, a short drive to a scenic place, or a silent recollection in a quiet nook granting that the host community and the elements of nature would allow one a safe passage to solitude and contemplation. Loneliness quickly turns to joy when something exciting gets captured by the cam’s shutter then set free into the laptop’s screen followed by electric words that rush from the fingers to the keyboard in an effort to describe the moment. Alas, the brain is alive once again!
So great! Photo too:)
This says so much about their life.
Love is truly a universal language. I hope his Papa was glad to see him, too. Great image, Jessie!
