India (December, 2016) – Just before exiting Enchey Monastery, I passed a group of novice monks laughing and leaping about. It took me a few moments to realize I had stumbled upon an intense small pebble battle; opposing sides launching tiny eroded pieces of ancestral under-earth at one another. It finally occurred to me that these mini crimson robed children, were indeed just being kids. I watched for a few minutes before waving and hustling back down the steep incline to meet the motoring vehicle.
