When this lovely lady asked "Why," I told her I wanted to photograph her for her very special smile. Her face simply radiates contentment the way a bonfire radiates warmth. She told me "Yes, I am happy ! Jesus loves me." Given the look in her eyes and the smile lines on her face, I'd say she got that right.

At the top of the mountain where I am living, lays a temple called Wat Kao Tham.

Wat Kao Tahm (Mountain Cave Monastery) International Meditation Center was developed by the Head Nun, Mae Chee Ahmon, a Thai Buddhist nun for over 50 years, to provide a place for International travelers to practice Buddhist Meditation.

Practicing austerities such as yoga, mindfulness, and meditation will give you a front row seat to that which you will never attain and in the process make you an expert at forever seeking them. — Kapil Gupta ⠀ #meditation #consciousness #awakening #enlightenment #innerpeace #chakras #higherconsciousness #thirdeye #spiritual #mindfulness #namaste #mindful #spiritualawakening #yogi #om #breathe #spiritualgrowth #buddha #chakra #meditate #peace #goodvibes #yogaeverydamnday #yogainspiration #yogaeverywhere #yogapractice #yogaeveryday #yogajourney
