SMALL TOWERS
I never thought I would open my window shades to let the bright lights of a skyscraper scream through our nighttime window light the shine of a full moon. I have never stayed downtown among the skyscrapers of a big city before. A city with all the city noises … with all the city traffic … and with all the city fears. When we were visiting other cities in Malaysia and mentioned travelling to Kuala Lumpur, the locals looked at us and said, “Keep your pocketbooks close!” So far we have been blessed by not experiencing any petty thievery.We walked past the little temple that Ezra likes to stop by and receive his blessing. Not many offerings have been placed in the temple during this Hari Raya season. The small temple is a Hindu offering place, not Muslim. We continue to hear the daily Mosque chanting, three months now and very familiar.Nothing like the nighttime chimes and bells of Nyuh Kuning – that was truly special. We are almost all packed. Will I forget the Petronas Towers like I have already forgotten many of the other places we have been. What will remain in my mind? What will the photos do to help me remember? Life moves by so quickly and we only hope to keep pace. Flight days always bring an added level of anxiety. The swimming pool has been nice. The breakfast buffet has put on enough insulation if I need to skip a few meals in Sri Lanka. I already have 3000 Sri Lankan Rupiahs in my pocket ($25). One last look at the night time lights of the Petronas Towers.
