People With No Names - The Undocumented #14

When I was being shown the women's refuge I noticed colorful laundry being dried outside of the apartment building. I snapped a quick picture as I kept following the person showing me around. It wasn't til I got home that I realized what a hopeful gesture it is to simply do laundry. The women are flying their 'prayer flags'...they are saying that there is a future (despite all the hardship and rejection) and they will need clean clothes to walk into it.

About Me

Pamela C. Hoffmeister
Pacific Northwest
I am interested in the quotidian mysteries of life...observing and noting in my work the very stuff in our lives that is daily and ordinary. As Merriam-Webster defines quotidian: occurring every day; belonging to every day; commonplace, ordinary. I want to be quiet...and look for the lessons to be learned.
