I am so happy tonight to read the news about the election in Myammar/Burma of Daw Aung San Suu Kyi. (She’s the one with the beautifully thoughtful and patient face.) After fifteen years of house arrest, she has been elected as a member of Parliament.
So many congratulations to Myammar! Who knows what will follow. Difficulty undoubtedly, and disappointment. (The army is still overwhelmingly in power.) Nonetheless, Ms. Aung San Suu Kyi’s election is a miracle and surely a step forward.
I feel great affection for Myammar, which I can’t help thinking of as Burma. I was there many years ago for a seven day maximum journey. (More on that some other time.)
Burmese Buddhas have sweet and beautiful faces, with the slight compression of determination around the eyebrows.
I am so happy that there is more hope in those faces tonight.
(PS – apologies for awkwardness of my portrait.)
