Central Park.

This photo was taken in Central park for the blog Humans of New York. 
Absolutely gorgeous.
Imagine if it was socially acceptable for any person of any faith to openly express it in such an unashamed way? Imagine walking though Central Park; a Catholic sitting on a bench praying a rosary, a Muslim bowed in prayer, Christians with hands outstretched praying over people, a Jew with an open, tattered prayer book whispering the prayers under his breath, people sitting criss-cross in the grass meditating, and none of these people the target of a sneering smile or a judgmental glare. People taking advantage of a beautiful setting and exercising their intrinsic human ability so search for (and try to connect to) something higher, something immaterial and eternal. 
Beautiful.
