On the Steps of Iglesia Santo Tomas
Late afternoon amid the din of music and festivity I spotted her. Seated on the steps of the cathedral surrounded by the spent casings from day's fireworks, she was a picture of tranquility, in a sea of chaos. She seemed able to escape, if only temporarily, by withdrawing into her own thoughts.
