The Richness of Feeling Understood
Saturday, August 29th, 2009

Paul Tournier (1898-1986), a Swiss physician who wrote books with titles such as The Whole Person in a Broken World, once said that "no one can develop freely in this world and find a full life without feeling understood by at least one person."
I don’t know what was going on in the minds of these two young girls in a village outside Bac Ha, Vietnam, but in the few minutes I watched them I did have a pretty good idea of this: their lives were fuller for their friendship.

Touching
This is such a touching photo. You can really see how close they are. The way she's about to put her arm around her friend's (or sister's) shoulder, as if comforting her. The girl in skirt does seem a bit sad, or disappointed, about something. I wonder what they're thinking.
