Everytime I feel boxed in, my mind wanders to our trip to Nepal. I am not a religious or spiritual person so to find peace at a temple, stupa or monastery is an unusual feat for me.
Maybe it was the mountain air, the cool climate or the soft rustling of the prayer flags - Buddhist monasteries always bring my ping-pong machine of a mind back to level zero.
It was my first trip with the Nikon camera - maybe another factor as to why I revert back. Exploring new terrians physically and photographically kept me light & upbeat (despite having to be the mother to the mother 😉 )
I keep moving in & out of this mental maze. I wish I had the courage to climb onto one of the hedges and be done with it. But the few times I've tried, I find myself in a differently shaped puzzle all together - without an answer key or cheat sheet!
So I go back in my mind palace to the place that brought me some inner peace - on the ledge of a wall overlooking the little city of Kathmandu, breathing in the crisp high altitude air.
