Afro Mexican Men, 1910
During the slavery era within the Americas, Mexico and Peru combined were the largest importer of African slaves. The slave importing United States from the same era was the second.
As with their African Diaspora kinfolk in the U.S., other parts of North, Central and South America and in the Caribbean, they are able to claim a diverse "ethnic" heritage, coming in every beautiful and handsome shade of skin and etc.
We're related--you and I
You from the West Indies,
I from Kentucky.
Kinsmen--you and I,
You from Africa,
I from the U.S.A.
Brothers--you and I.
Brothers by Langston Hughes
This poem is pretty obvious as it embraces and celebrates a "one people" among African folk and people of African descent wherever they happen to be in the world.
These horses were being affectionate while waiting for the next customer. A fiacre (carriage) ride is a good way to see the sights.

A True Bohemian
There should be no classification conveying a greater wealth of genuine compliment to any man than that of "good fellow" in the truest sense.
Duke, lord, earl any old title you like may be bestowed on a man for an assortment of achievements - but the world has, at all times, not accepted such honors (sic) without reservations.
Linked with the history of Auckland will ever be the name of Kohn, and if repute goes for anything there is every indication that it will always be respected, for the Kohn family if they have not aspired to municipal honors (sic) or butted into public life are nevertheless men of the type who go to make the most staple citizens and pay diligent attention to their own business. Just such a man is Esmond Kohn, who carries on the traditions of his family and has become one of the colonists whose forbears had the pluck to make their home in an untried land in bygone years. In the whole city there is no man who has a greater right to be known as a true Bohemian. Literature, art, music and sport all interest him and like most of his race - he is no wowser.
So that wherever you may meet him he will hold your interest and converse on matters of diverse nature with a breadth of knowledge which is wholesome and refreshing, lacking any of the blatancy too characteristic of many who profess much, but know little. [6]

There is no more popular man in Auckland than Esmond Kohn, whose all-round kindliness and many interests have won for him a permanent position in the esteem of all Northerners. Without that highbrow intellectualism which so often goes with the man who has a liking for the mental diversions of life, his interest in art, literature, music, athletic sports, or whatever it may be, is keen and thorough. Partner in a firm of jewellers, he is a craftsman, and his firm has turned out some notable works of art in the silversmith's line.
Unfailingly courteous to all with whom he comes m contact, the merry twinkle behind his glasses betrays a neat wit and appreciation of a good story or quip.[3]

Your frequent self-underestimating serves as humility and keeps us on the same level, which is difficult to maintain because my confidence and assertion of personality ride circular-spiral escalators, even if you press all of the elevator buttons at once it can be difficult to keep the signals strong.
Even so, we both manage to end up grounded in time to catch the same subway car. Trains offer us the opportunity to remain quite still and also rocket forward. I think perhaps that’s why they captivate us so much.
And perhaps why we captivate each other.
You can’t steer a train, but you do choose your destination and how you spend the time on board.
And anyway, train tracks are contour; so there can be no such thing here as a power struggle.

Sometimes everything just doesn't make sense any more, and I often feel like I'm drowning in my own thoughts. Insecurity has begun to take it's toll and I apologise for the way it affects the people I love. I'm truly sorry.
I don't know if this little dog was her pet or if they were two strangers who just felt drawn to each upon first sight. Helsinki, Finland (Suomi ): this photograph may not be reproduced. (26 August, 2019)

At his point I had to get up and rearrange them so there was enough room for me. I can almost imagine pretty Easter Eggs in the nest with them...
