They have a look in their eyes-
Puzzled! Astonished! Perplexed!
"Is that clear to you all?", I ask.
They nod their heads vigorously.
And I discern some nodding lies
Hoping to get away with luck
When I set them the daily task
To do in class rigorously.
But there are some who look at me
With radiant eyes in awe-struck stare
For I have unlocked in a game
The magic box for them to see.
Alas! who? but so few are there
To unlock, for me, the same.

OurEcho is a FREE SERVICE dedicated to capturing and sharing the individual "bits and pieces" that define our local communities. It might be a bit of interesting local history, an old photograph, a special memory or just a funny story. We are particularly interested in those fascinating and intriguing events/people (both large and small) that we all encounter as part of the human experience. It might be something that happened recently or something passed down to you through your family. Our goal is to provide a forum for local communities to share who they are through their stories and photographs. When you take the time to share these reflection with others, you help us better understand you, the world we live in, and if we are lucky, they help us better understand ourselves.
