It might make for a good anti-smoking skin-aging ad, if she didn’t look so great. She was such a lovely lady, living in a village outside Mandalay where everyone was involved in different parts of the process of producing wonderful metal bowls. Some people panned for the base metal, some people took it and melted it, others made the crude bowls, still others used hammers and tools to make them look pretty, then they were sold by the folks who lived up by the main road. I’m not sure what this lady’s role was in all the above. I like to imagine that it was her job to oversee everything while smoking cheroots, nodding sagely, keeping a beady eye on everyone.

“Hatred never ceases by hatred: but by love alone is healed. This is an ancient and eternal law.” Out of the mouths of people who had been wounded, oppressed, made homeless, aggrieved, and crushed by the pain of war, came a prayer proclaiming the ancient truth about love, a truth that was greater than all the sorrows they had seen and felt.......And now a Cyclone Let Us Remember Them All!

The Balancing Rock Pagoda – Mon State, Burma. Buddhist pilgrims struggle up a steep grade to reach the pagoda. Men are allowed to approach it closely where they pray and apply gold foil.
