Placid Tranquility - a photo on Flickriver

Placid Tranquility

            This is among my favorites from Nepal.  We climbed straight up towards Throng Pedi to acclimate.  Oddly there are rarely any sunsets with color this high, you have to be higher up, and this is dangerous due to the rapidly changing conditions.  Literally one hour later this entire view was gray fog, nothing to be seen.

I followed this river for hours up it's winding pathway, taking in the beauty, tranquility offered, and observing the always changing yet unchanged stillness of the river.  Siddhartha speaks of the lessons to be learned from the river.  The placid tranquility contained within the oneness of the river with the world around us.  The interconnected way of nature and life.  River moving to ocean, ocean moving to mist, becoming snow, falling, melting, always the flowing, moving yet still.
