Man Prayer

Phnom Penh, Cambodia, 2011

A man who’s stable and resolute. Who knows his mind and isn’t easily swayed. Who’s strong and supportive. Who doesn’t shy away from conflict and suffering and grief. Who’s funny and light of heart but who takes the important things seriously and thinks things through. Who practices forgiveness and is not embittered of heart. Who’s kind, compassionate and generous. Good to talk to and can stay in the present moment.

Picture of Malaga airport (Dec 1995!) – waiting for the matching bag. Last one there. Almost giving up hope. then, finally, it arrives and it’s the most natural thing to pick it up, walk out of the airport and be on our way.
