Hello there.

Nepal
You have been my mistress for decades. Always just outside of my reach, calling my name and whispering promises. Until months ago, when I welcomed your embrace. Since then, I have inhaled your mountain air, drank your water, eaten your food, and day by day, I have been transformed by you. Buddha and Lakshmi have watched over me, your sons and daughters have walked with me, and I with them.
And now that we have danced, you did not disappoint.
As I return to the land of my birth, I am content. For I know I will see you in every prayer flag, every mountain and feel you in my heart. Inseparable. Nepal has been amazing.
There is always more to come, of course, and thank you for checking in. :)
