Taking a rest and enjoying the view

A moment of quiet
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.

Four friends on their day off
Four friends on their day off
Manamaiju, Kathmandu, January 7th, 2003
On my way back from Manamaiju, I met these four students who were enjoying their day off.
They are, from left-to-right, Kamala, Sumitra, Roshni and Rojina—all from Shree Ganesh Himal Boarding School.
I wrote down the name of their school, and after a bit of looking a few days later, I finally found it and was able to give them their photo.
Now they are all 25 and 26, and I'm sure they are doing great things.
