Rebecca Pennisi, Natural tendencies (October theme: Connections)

Micah is seven and he has ADHD, suffers from anxiety and possible Aspergers. Although he is running around like crazy all day and cannot control his mind, resulting in obsessing over iPads and video games, this photo was taken in a moment that Micah, out of no where, sits down, folds his legs, placed his hands on his knees, smiled up at me with his face glowing from the North Queensland sun, and says, “I’m meditating”, my reply, “you go bud, enjoy”. I love that he is naturally drawn to this even though everything in his life is always super busy and stressful, even if it is not a regular thing, it gives me hope that he will eventually find some peace in the crazy world that is Micah Moo’s mind.
