EIGHT YEARS / TEN DAYS: SUNDAY 10 DECEMBER 2023

Enough was enough. Got myself out of bed and walked 9 ks up to see 180 degrees of Himalayas. A great journey with my guide, Santosh. Back down the 9ks and then packed my bags and moved to Kasar Devi, a place of resounding beauty visited by Bob Dylan, Allen Ginsberg, Cat Stevens etc back in the day. So happy to be feeling positive again and to laugh. Not 100% well but mentally back and inspired by life again.

SEVEN / 357 DAYS : TUESDAY 21 NOVEMBER 2023

We changed buses at Yellapur and decided to stay as it looked so lovely. Then went wandering and was invited, by an old man we met by a paddy field, to visit his house. Meandering through his little cow shed, under the shade of his nut grove, over little stone bridges and beside banana trees….it was a lovely encounter.
