The Beautiful People of Bali

They come in all forms. Most are Hindus, some are Buddhist and handfuls are Muslims. Some are young, some are old. They can be men or women, rich or poor. Some are dark, some are fairer. They can be petite or large, tall or short. They share with each other, they share with you.  All across the island they are hospitable, warm and kind.
They could not care for your race or religion or if you are spotting your latest pair of Nikes. It does not bother them if you are the next Justin Bieber or if you ARE Justin Bieber. Somehow when you are amongst them, you know that you will not be critiqued or judged. You are simply accepted the way you are.
Everything you have heard or read about the beautiful people of Bali is true.

Random people I met today from Ubud and Mas
Sometimes we are exiles by our own doings and in our own minds with preconceptions about who and what we are supposed to be.
