نور عبودThe picture of the Buddhist monk with his dog made me smile. The dog walks quietly beside him, as if part of the prayer. As for the rescue efforts after the earthquakes in Venezuela, they remind me of how much people endure and rebuild.

هلا عبودYes, this picture is really nice. The monk and his dog together make prayer seem simpler and closer to daily life. As for Venezuela, it is true that people there build with their hands and patience, just as we do when an earthquake comes to us.
