Grandmother with Prayer Beads in Early Morning Rain

by Seth Adams

Rain streaks the glass of an Astana window, blurring the city lights beyond into soft, elongated smears of gray and gold. Inside, an elderly woman sits with weathered dignity, her gnarled fingers gripping a string of dark prayer beads. Early morning sidelight skims across her face, carving deep lines into her skin and highlighting the rough texture of her woolen sweater. The beads, polished smooth by years of handling, catch a faint sheen against the dim, cool interior. Her gaze remains steady, focused on the string in her hands while the rain continues its steady rhythm outside. one drop of water runs down the windowpane, distorting the view of the street below.
