About the Piece

I was wandering through a quiet temple courtyard in Bhutan when I noticed these two women sitting in peaceful contemplation. The morning chill hung in the air, and they had wrapped themselves in layers against the cold mountain breeze. I watched as prayer beads moved silently through their fingers, a meditation practiced for decades. They noticed me but continued their prayers without pause, welcoming my presence with quiet acceptance. This moment reminded me why I travel to these remote places—to witness the profound beauty of everyday spiritual devotion.

In the land of Gross National Happiness, faith flows through weathered hands
