For some reason we often spend our holiday sunday mornings in Catholic mass; atleast when we´re in Latin America. In my opinion, this is the best way to view a cathedral: incense burning, priest at the pulpit, choir vocal floating through fantastic architecture, light shining through stained glass ... and, just as when I was a child, something else catches my attention, I daydream.

A middle age man lights a candle. An offering to someone near and dear. A fresh wound. He spends a good part of half an hour in deep prayer. I cannot remember the last time that I have dedicated 30 minutes to anything. An intense love in his eye. I can´t stop looking at him.

Ok, I´ve been here for more than 20 minutes. Time to go.
