back on board
namaste all!
i have left Tibet and am back on board with the blog. i have no idea how to even sum up the Tibet excursion... words? photos? nothing can even come close. what an amazing experience. the altitude took quite a toll on this weak-lunged Clevander, but i pushed through. the trek was spectacular, absolutely breathtaking (literally as well... unfortunately... scratch any thought of me reaching everest because my lungs just aren't ready for that kind of pain). i'll try to scan at least one picture if i can and post it here... and you won't believe that i took it and that i was there because it will look like a postcard. i'll try, also, to catch you all up on my experiences and adventures, but to date my personal journal isn't even caught up. have patience with me.
some things you'll someday get to hear or read about are: me riding a yak, visits to meditation caves/monasteries/nunneries/palaces/tombs, stars over Tibet, extensive river crossings, accidental wanderings into Chinese brothels in Lhasa, beautiful pilgrims, mountains, changing leaves, colorful rocks, and all the beauty o the world captured in split second moments of "am i really here? i can't believe i am experiencing this!"
independent study time has begun now, and i will be living in Kathmandu, Nepal in a place called Boudha... studying prayer/recitation/mantra as meditation and the power of spoken word. i will have regular access to internet cafes; and though i don't wish to frequet my time too much in them, i will post here a bit more so you all know what is happening in my little bubble. and in a little more than a month, i will be returning to the states and probably relying on you all to soak away my tears of sadness for leaving such heartwarming and colorful cultures. this will not be the last time nepal encounters jacqueline... this place is far to wonderful.
and i still miss you! so i send you much love and light in all that you are living in this moment and always.
