Serenity In An Open Space

*Thoughts that ran through my head while outdoors at PERMATA during Mega Challenge, 4th July 2007*

They stand in a row before me, mere shadows in the twilight hour before night falls , their backs facing me, their faces turned towards qiblat.

At times they stand, arms crossed before them. At times they kneel, foreheads touching their prayer mats.

A moment shared in faith, but yet still a private moment with God.

A full moon in the blue-black sky completes the picture before me.

We may be of different faith, but the feeling of peace and serenity one gets from prayer (even if one is just a mere observer) crosses all boundaries.
