prayer in motion - a photo on Flickriver

prayer in motion

            the man sits still, beads moving slowly through his fingers, each one marking a thought or a prayer. his quiet reflection contrasts with the world behind him, reflected in the glass as people move in and out of the frame. he isn't just lost in thought—he's engaging in a spiritual act, using a prayer chain to ground himself in the moment. the stillness of his body and the movement of the beads create a sense of peace amid the heat and light of the day. this was captured at plaça de la mare de déu de la salut in palma, a quiet spot where the noise of the city seems to soften, and his inner world takes center stage. time seems to slow down, as he connects with something deeper amid the city's quiet hum.
