It’s Tuesday, time for Frizztext’s A-Z Photo Story Challenge. Letter this week is L and so I share the “Lamp” photographs that my husband has taken here in Singapore. I’ve always thought that they looked ‘luminous.’

Lamp: Night Safari, Singapore

NightSafari

“You are the community now. Be a lamp for yourselves. Be your own refuge. Seek for no other. All things must pass. Strive on diligently. Don’t give up.”
― Gautama Buddha

“Just at present you only see the tree by the light of the lamp. I wonder when you would ever see the lamp by the light of the tree.”
― G.K. Chesterton

Lamp: Singapore Zoo

“We can easily forgive a child who is afraid of the dark; the real tragedy of life is when men are afraid of the light.”
― Plato

“May it be a light to you in dark places, when all other lights go out.”
― J.R.R. TolkienThe Fellowship of the Ring

Myra is a Teacher Educator and a registered clinical psychologist based in Al Ain, United Arab Emirates. Prior to moving to the Middle East, she lived for eleven years in Singapore serving as a teacher educator. She has edited five books on rediscovering children’s literature in Asia (with a focus on the Philippines, Malaysia, India, China, Japan) as part of the proceedings for the Asian Festival of Children’s Content where she served as the Chair of the Programme Committee for the Asian Children’s Writers and Illustrators Conference from 2011 until 2019. While she is an academic by day, she is a closet poet and a book hunter at heart. When she is not reading or writing about books or planning her next reads, she is hoping desperately to smash that shuttlecock to smithereens because Badminton Is Life (still looking for badminton courts here at UAE - suggestions are most welcome).
