In the middle of the loud and colorful Taiwan Pride parade, I came across this quiet, powerful moment. These two men sat perfectly still on a small white mat, looking almost like living statues carved from stone. While the rest of the world was moving and shouting around them, they created their own private world. To me, this is a "Modern Ritual"—a brave and beautiful way to show who you are, finding peace and strength right in the heart of the crowd.
