Gratitude in Stillness
Myanmar
In the hushed atmosphere of a monk school in Myanmar, I captured a profound moment of gratitude. This vertical image portrays a young monk student in solemn reflection, eyes gently closed, head bowed in reverence, and hands held in prayer. With an aura of serenity, he offers thanks for his humble lunch. The quietude and sincerity in his posture resonate a deep sense of appreciation, showcasing a ritual of thankfulness that connects the heart and spirit with nourishment.
