No true account can be given of how or why you became a writer, nor is there any moment of which you can say: This is when I became a writer. It all gets cobbled together later, more or less sincerely, and after the stories have been repeated they put on the badge of memory and block all other routes of exploration. There's something to be said for this. It's efficient, and may even provide a homeopathic tincture of the truth. Tobias Wolff

bhutiful photo; thanks for the link to this photographer.
Nice! These novice monks are future preachers expected to spread the gospel. Amen to these little monks.
That is a gorgeous photo, hope to get to Myanmar one day….
Beautiful image!
Wow, this is a really great shot!
This photo is amazing. The simplicity and serenity of the monk’s life, even with these kids, is greatly reflected here. Beautiful shot.
