Serendipitous Conversations
The above shot was taken at a random conference & cocktail reception at Toronto Reference Library. I turned my burning eyes into a heart open to words and wine there. Centre for Media and Celebrity Studies (CMCS) accountant Ubaid Rizvi kindly invited me after I buried my parents’ ashes at a sacred Zen garden two weeks ago.
