When visitors arrived



Bright lights shine through the windows of the three houses across the bay lifting up repressive heaviness of the dark wintry night. Briefly drifting back to me is my distant memory of an equally dark and cold winter night on a far and remote corner of China where alone I was with a book in hand with heavy snow falling outside the window and with boiling kettle sizzling on a coal burning stove.
