Namaste

Walking down the streets of Patan in Nepal, this beautiful woman upon me saying Namaste to her, she greeted me with the most expressive smile I have ever seen, reaching her ears, her eyes every corner of her face, radiating joy, beauty and sharing kindness among strangers, such expression can bridge barriers between people no matter their language, culture or age.
