Every single place I have been to around the world has shown me that the local people are the tarot of that place. They are the ones who process its energies, who live with the angels of that land and who give expression to its unseen worlds.
Whatever mystery and beauty radiates out of Cambodia is clearly seen twinkling in the eyes of its people, especially the children. It is their warm smiles that stay with you and make you dream of going back. Yes, it is a beauty that goes much beyond the physical surface, and their bright eyes are just gateways to a whole other world awaiting to be discovered.
photo taken: girl at the CCPP center in Sihanoukville, a fantastic project aiding Cambodian children to make a future through art. I encourage you to explore their website and their inspiring work. I will be posting quite a few photos from there this month.

“local people are the tarot of that place. They are the ones who process its energies, who live with the angels of that land and who give expression to its unseen worlds.” Truer words have never been written, Mimo! Anyone who has traveled will recognize the truth of that statement, so elequently put – for me, it is the joy of traveling and the true definition of “home.”
so true Lynn. Thank you for commenting!

I love that you have presented this in monochrome Mimo but I’m wondering why?
Thank you Helen, I went back and forth between this and the color version and I found that this one gave a lot more attention to her eyes than the color version 🙂
As I suspected because her eyes really shine.. Good call
