Peace and quiet

" The soul always knows what to do to heal itself. The challenge is to silence the mind."

A photo stroll along the beach today. Came across this elegant gentleman from India sitting on the bench enjoying the view. We said hello to each other and asked if I could take his picture. From the distance while walking towards him I was observing through my camera lens how very straight his posture was...as I walked closer impressed at the way he sat on the bench with his back straight, bare feet and looking out to the sea almost regal. A very pleasant man to chat with while soaking in beautiful New Zealand scene that he would not have been able to enjoy back home.
