Penchant for Life

A Balinese girl cleanses herself in a ceremonial Hindu temple.

 

It was one of those moments where you feel truly in touch with the vibrance of life. This has been one of my favorite images, and yet I've been almost afraid to use it - afraid I can't possibly convey the way it felt to be there, experiencing this.

 

Like the last sip of wine, you keep it, savoring, holding on to one last taste in hopes of remembrance. I too, hope to retain what it was like to witness this penchant for life.
