Perfect Balance


We walked behind two sari’d and blanketed women on the way back from the B-10 market this eve. One had a seriously heavy—10 kilos-- burlap rectangle bag with handles balancing on her head. It looked like it held a whole bunch of potatoes. She walked stick straight in her flip flops and seemed to hardly notice the weight. Their drapes and lithe forms a wonderful silhouette. Her companion turned around and noticed us, but the woman with the corner of her burlap bag sitting comfortably on her head just walked comfortably along, unconcerned…
