I'm down from the mountains.
Still feeling their stillness - though I'm on the move - still feeling blessed.

Off to wander the Himalayas again. Off the grid until December.
I tried to draw a rough map of our route - its in the Annapurna region but off the beaten path. We'll likely see virtually no civilization - almost all camping in the wilds - which is surprisingly hard to find on trekking routes in Nepal. We should have incredible views of Annapurna IV and II and Lamjung Himal throughout. I'm super pumped. We head off to the beautiful Newari town of Bandipur for a week, then we'll trek 15 days, then hang out in the village of Balamchaur for about 10 days, and finally we will head southward to Palpa and Lumbini (the birthplace of the Buddha!).
No tumblr for some time. I will try to remember to bring my camera with me this time around.
Catch ya in a month!

This very second has vanished forever, lost in the anonymous mass of the irrevocable. It will never return. I suffer from this, and I do not. Everything is unique—and insignificant.

We are all, in the private kingdom of our hearts, desperate for the company of a wise, true friend. Someone who isn’t embarrassed by our emotions, or her own, who recognizes that life is short and all that we have to offer, in the end, is love.

The winds
Sing their song
And I listen.
They always sing
For those who listen.

“You have to love dancing to stick to it. It gives you nothing back, no manuscripts to store away, no paintings to show on walls and maybe hang in museums, no poems to be printed and sold, nothing but that single fleeting moment when you feel alive.

A quiet secluded life in the country, with the possibility of being useful to people to whom it is easy to do good, and who are not accustomed to have it done to them; then work which one hopes may be of some use; then rest, nature, books, music, love for one’s neighbor — such is my idea of happiness.

Had I not created my whole world, I would certainly have died in other people’s.
