acclimatization

Monasteries melding into the moonscape
above us we sense and feel the compassion, wisdom, and connectedness reverberate.
White Gompas above us as we sleep
dreaming of the past melding into the present,
as the Buddha's words echo,
"Leave the past behind; abandon all thoughts of the future,
and let go of the present. You are ready then to cross to the other shore."
Our clear eyes are blessed with prayer flags everywhere---
yellow, green, red, white, blue...
consistently softening our smiles
The delicate breezes carry the prayers out of the fabric and into everyones hearts
as it simaltaneously cools our sun kissed skin.
High altitude eases our minds
connects our beings
to our temples
Snow covered Mountain Peaks.
Rigo--these rugged peaks
encircling
towering above us
reminding us of our nature.
of our essence.
Inspiring us to stand tall
with integrity, power, and awe inspiring love.
We gaze up and look inward as we sit, read, reflect, and teach one another of lifes lessons.
We arrive
home.
