Shelter - II


These logs lay in the backyard of my home. They had been arranged in neat rows to facilitate the construction process of a doorway by the entrance of our apartment.

Yesterday, as I was loitering around in the backyard, I saw a small sparrow rest itself over the logs. Looking at the scene, I was unconsciously reminded of the recent pictures of the 'Nepal earthquake' in the newspapers that depicted homeless people standing amidst the rubble of their destroyed homes.  

And I was overcome by an unhappy feeling.
At least the Nepal earthquake was not under our control.
