MORNING PRAISE

I could not sleep much throughout the night due to very hot and humid weather. I woke up and went on the roof of the community building where I am staying. I gazed contemplatively at the star-lit darkness of night and waited for the dawn to break! I joined the little bird in Tagore's definition of faith. He says that "Faith is the bird that senses the dawn and sings while it is still dark."

I waited and I sang. At around 5.30 the night started melting and disappearing into a fresh, new day! That's when I captured the shot of this local parish church dome, a Catholic Church dedicated to Maria Bambina.

I love the way the sun lights up so beautiful the ancient stone! I joined the sky and the fields, the birds and the stone in morning praise and returned to my room to start my day..
