today is nyepi
a celebration of the hindu new year in bali where people completely devote the day and themselves to self-reflection.
nothing is open, lights are turned off, and no one works, travels, talks, or even eats! the balinese restrict themselves from everything they can in order keep this day.
and tomorrow is ngembak geni, where everyone makes an effort to ask each other for forgiveness.
how idyllic. how idyllic. how idyllic.
