Peace
When I write the word PEACE - I realize that this word does not need comments and some text

I met Simba, a Congolese immigrant, last year. He assists with parking and watches over the cars at the tidal pool where I go for my daily cold swims. With his kind smile and gentle presence, I often find myself stopping for little conversations with him.

In the portrait I took this evening, Simba stands in front of the Theater on the Bay, a popular venue just across the road , where he also helps with parking every evening. A few weeks ago, he proudly told me I must go see the current show, Black Coffee by Agatha Christie, because it features some of his favorite actors.

I was touched and a little surprised by how well he knew all the actors, and yes, I listened to his advice and went to see the play.

Today, to my sadness - though not entirely to my surprise - I learned from Simba that he has never actually seen a show inside that theater himself.
