Whispers ...

I am at the office, sitting at my desk which faces the wall. I can hear someone whispering behind me ... I turn around and I see the cleaning lady standing barefoot on the desk behind, hands joined, whispering some prayers in the direction of the shelf hanging high-up where the ancestors are honored. She had just put there a plate of fruits and a few incense sticks. There is such an area in each room of every house or building, usually with the photos of the deceased persons of the family. You can even serve tea to your ancesters, as well as industrially-made cookies packs if you want. Anyway, the offering are only temporary and you will be able to eat them after only a few hours !
