Awakening in Sandakphu: A Trekker's Symphony
Footsteps of Self-Discovery
In the Himalayas, where the air is crisp and clean,
A trekker's journey begins, a path serene.
To Sandakphu, the peak of self-discovery,
Where the mind and body, in harmony do soar.
The trail winds through the mountains, wild and free,
A test of strength, a challenge to be.
The trekker's heart beats fast, with excitement and glee,
As the journey unfolds, a tale to be told.
Through forests of oak and rhododendron so grand,
The trekker walks, with each step, a new land.
The sound of birds and streams, a symphony so sweet,
A world of wonder, at every step.
The climb gets steeper, the air gets thinner,
But the trekker's spirit, never does falter.
For in the Himalayas, the self is tested and tried,
And in Sandakphu, the trekker's soul is awakened and alive.
The sun sets over the mountains, a fiery glow,
A reminder of the journey's purpose, the trekker knows.
To find the self, to discover the truth,
In the Himalayas, where the air is crisp and clean, and the heart is pure.

Whispers of Hampta Pass: A Journey of Discovery and Connection
If I ever go to Hampta Pass Trek, I imagine the crisp mountain air, Cool against my skin, Whispering tales of ancient peaks, Echoing the songs of the wind. The rugged terrain beneath my feet, A mosaic of earth and stone, Leading me on a journey of discovery, Of self and nature, intertwined. The vast expanse of sky above, A canvas of endless possibilities, Each star a beacon of hope, Guiding me through the night. And as I stand at the summit, Gazing out at the world below, I feel a sense of peace and wonder, A connection to something greater than myself. For in the heart of these mountains, I find solace and strength, A reminder of the beauty and resilience, That lies within us all.

The River's Due
The river in our village was everything. Giver of life, bringer of death. It provided you with good fortune or stole your future. It was where the priests baptized us and the grandmothers blessed us afterward, in between the washing. The river’s spirit whispered to us all, every day of our lives. When someone was lost to the river, those same traveling priests claimed God had called them home. We nodded to make them feel better, but we knew it was the river that had come calling for its due. We may have come to accept Jesus as our savior, but had our doubts he would have tried to walk our river.
