When ‘joy’ is able to attend you, life takes on a brilliant glow…
Imagine these simple moments of connection, when meeting some stranger’s eyes can cause you and them both to overflow with joy, with a contentment and a knowing that all is well and a great unexplainable happiness is present at the thought of meeting another human.
Joy, so difficult to come by in our day to day lives today, but so abundant in those places where people choose to live a simple and uncluttered life.
Even after 15 years, I can remember this face that glowed and radiated while the lady was trying patiently to tame her daughter’s unruly hair in a desert settlement in Nubia.
I totally agree, I think a simpler life does breed joy and contentment.

Mimo, a simple scene, one that happens over and over all over the world. But how beautiful the ritual when it is done tenderly, and what a chance for a mother to show her love for her daughter.

Hi,
I had to smile, I can certainly relate with the little girl, I can remember when my Mum used to have a bit of trouble with my hair as a child, especially after running around and playing. Mum doing her best to get the knots out. 😀
Nice photo.

very less photographers are there who also know how to enjoy a scene, instead of just capturing it with their lens.

Beautiful photo. It’s true what you say about joy. I seem to find the happiest people in the most humble of places. It seems that clutter directs our focus to clutter. Beautiful writing my friend
