morning blessings

If I ever get reborn as an indian girl, this would be a one of the few traditional things I'd really look forward to do- painting a rangoli i front of my door. Every morning when I walk from my yoga shala, I see the women bent over the wet ground, starting to make points and then drawing beautiful patterns from it. This is the girl in the neighbour house. I like the geometrical designs, ancient symbols have been passed down through the ages, from each generation to the next. They are supposed to bring luck, so I hope this picture will give all of you a lucky day.
