Waiting

from the preface....

It was a poor but hopeful nation. Outside the capital, which was excitingly building a new downtown and a glamorous International Style university campus near the city, people's lives were slower. Everyone seemed to be waiting -- for a bus, for work, for harvest, for a customer, and I felt, for the promise of the revolution to be fulfilled. All their beautiful art which integrated their past and their present was promising them that.
