Like a magical potion...

Like a magical potion I unwind into a composed water that runs deep. Murray Laurence’s ‘Wandering Through Nepalese History’* juxtaposes a serene history narrative in the mind so smooth, you can’t help devour the magical potion of his words.

As I unwind wandering through the essay, the brightly lit wall across the window to my left reveals similar bright feeling of the sun I had experienced in Manang. The bright blue sky, pristine and crisp view of Shivapuri on the north and the higher mountain looming up further – this is such a familiar feeling of serenity experienced back in Manang and the Annapurnas.
Last couple of days has been unusually bright and clear skies and sightings of the mountain panoramas from here in Kathmandu.

The smooth and magical narrative of Laurence inspires me today to try and give words to my feelings and thoughts. I deeply appreciate him, his article and this moment. I literally feel I am letting out the feelings from the very fount of my heart and soul. Like a burning desire that has found its vent, this is a total orgasm being able to hold a pencil and scribble on a piece of paper.
Oh, how grateful I am to the Universe!

Those are wonderful days of clarity in winter that inspire the soul. Most of our winter days here are quite gray. And while we don't have anything like the view in Kathmandu, a clear day is one to be treasured.
Best wishes,
Len
