Had about 30 minutes to grab a bit to eat between flights in Phoenix. In such circumstances I sometimes look for an interesting looking person who is alone to sit with and meet while I eat. This time it was this Orthodox Monk from a Serbian Order Monastery. He was on his way to a prison to visit an inmate who has been confined for a long time. Rather than being released into an unwelcoming World where he had no people or resources, he expressed interest on becoming a member of the order. This Monk was an interesting and gentle person. I enjoyed my time with him.
The coffee cup was not his real beverage, but he asked that I not photograph him with that one.
