being there
I am in Kathmandu
It is incredibly incredible
the milling throng is mesmerisingly addictive and almost sort of compulsive viewing
We have just arrived at our hotel after a full day of planes
and it is fantastic
I am in a state of awe
This place is beyond the senses
Everything is in decay apart from the lust for life which is indescribable
Dirt filth beauty decadence and nothingness are each others companions always it seem
and always the sound of a tooting horn or barking dog and a bird that must be Shiva itself
It has the strangest call.....
I ate Nepali style last night
my right hand is my friend at the dining table
today we go on a sightseeing tour
Comms are going to be non existient after lukla
there is a problem in the mountains
No internet no phone apparently
I am having a fab time
The thamel district is waking up as I write.
The houseboys are shooing the creatures of the night from the doorways as they do the world over it seems
Some of them do not appreciate the shooing
the street temple things are just fantastic
The atmosphere here has a resonance/timelessness of ancient places
there is just this sense of being
that somehow makes you feel connected
Oh my god ( I just saw another one)
I think I am a hippy
