all the creatures

Been awake since 4.30 am tuesday in the "Du"
It is 24 hrs later in the plane and must be getting closer

The khumbu was real
The light
The sky
The staggeringly high mountains
The bells on the ponies
The bells on the yaks
The water
The whispers in the pines
The herds of cabbages in the stepped fields
The majestic infinite endlessness of the place the snow lives
It is easy to walk tall when you rise above it all.
And the spirit flags flutter in the breeze
