Ed this is just fabulous. This takes me back to our old Indian scripture "Ramayana" translated it means story of Ram: the ideal man. A reincarnation of Lord Vishnu who is supposed to feed & take care of all. As a child Ram wanted to have the moon that adorned the sky. He urged his mother Queen Kaushlya to get him the moon. No amount of cajoling & reasoning would work. So exasperated mother Queen Kaushlya filled a shallow pan called "Thali" in which one usually eats and caught reflection of the moon which she offered to Ram, & that worked. Thanks for sharing wonderful picture and even more poignant words.
