SOLEMN SILENCE (Wanderings around Malta, Conclusion)











“For now she need not think of anybody.
She could be herself, by herself."








"And that was what now she often felt the need of - 
to think; well not even to think. 
To be silent; to be alone."









"All the being and the doing, 
expansive, glittering, vocal, evaporated;
and one shrunk, with a sense of solemnity, 
to being oneself, 
a wedge-shaped core of darkness, 
something invisible to others..."









"and this self 
having shed its attachments 
was free 
for the strangest adventures.”


Virginia Woolf: To the Lighthouse

WANDERINGS AROUND MALTA, Part III
































































Crumbling layers of limestone, blues & greys,

church bells & sermons spilling onto the streets from chapels,
joining in the chorus with birdsong,

little boys with olive skin
having a game of hide & seek in the backstreets,

cats bathing in the evening sun, 

waves gently lapping against the rocky shores.

WANDERINGS AROUND MALTA, Part II























































I think the most enticing part of travel

is walking and walking in the heat of the sun,

the eye fixating on every intricate detail,

sitting in a square over a glass of wine by evening,

chatting, watching passers-by,

coming across a wedding party,

catching a couple secretly dancing behind the corner,

as a busker does his thing.
