Himalayan Magic


Rishikesh and the River: Sedimentary rocks. Silica sand. The river raga. Ethereal moonlight. Star sentries. Magnetic moon. Probability in the river waves. Walking a different planet.

McLeod Gunje and the Mountain: The theme is Silence. Just the sound of trees everywhere. Cicadas and green pine. A higher quality of reality with a stark contrast to all things.

Dhanolti and the Dew: Clouds sweeping up from the valley. Across the mountainside. And condensing. The sheer exhaustion of rising up 9997 feet above mean sea level.
