… headed towards the top.
(Mom is the first pilgrim from the left)
*Notice the reverence being offered by the pilgrim wearing light blue. Such displays were commonplace — both witnessed in others and engaged in myself. During any pilgrimage (at home or abroad), when the sludge of everyday worries & desires has been completely removed, the desire to openly express a raw Gratitude sometimes becomes overwhelming — resulting in such open expressions of Love.
“This idea of how everything is interconnected, … It sums up the human condition to me, and it helps me on my path.” ~ Jeff Bridges
