He concealed himself so that a casual passerby wouldn’t see his face.

Meeting Maya here was her idea, and so was the desire for secrecy.

They were friends, not in love. They wanted to just have fun together but this was something people around them frowned upon.

There were differences that according to others were too big to be overcome. They belonged to different religions, and cultures and their skin wasn’t the same color either.

I am writing to express my opinion, share my experiences and to maybe provide some insight. My blog is addressing women at 50 ( but men are welcome to read my posts) ,their issues and the questions that come up at this stage in life. I don’t aim to teach, but to learn together.

      1. I remember watching a movie (of the book) “The Man Who Would Be King”… Basically an outsider was gifted that opportunity to make right injustices in this small (not backwards, but not modern) community. And did OK for a bit. Until he wanted what he couldn’t have… then they chopped his head off!

        Eeek!
