A moment of quiet
Across from Manamaiju temple, Manamaiju, Kathmandu, Thursday, October 15th, 2015
Walking by Manamaiju temple this afternoon, I saw a boy to my left sitting quietly atop the remains of a brick wall. Absolutely noiseless, just breathing and looking out across a valley. I wondered, was his mind awash with thoughts, or peacefully quiet.
A few moments later, a mother and daughter walked by. They stopped and looked as well.
No one said a word. The mother held her daughter in front of her as they looked together.
It was the absolute picture of peace.
