Even the old women are beautiful! What a place. We humans have endured such burnout, such hostility with one another. Perhaps it is time that we walk upon the lands as gracefully as we can, to not disturb one another in our wakefulness, to uplift one another. We want to act like the world will hide it's gifts from us, but that is only because we fight for commodities that shouldn't exist! There is a resonance, a harmony that should be felt from within. This really made me cry because these people are as authentic as they come.
