Mountains kissing the clear blue sky

Snow plumes flying like prayer flags from the peaks

In monasteries older than old

Holy men chanting endless prayers

Caravans plodding ancient paths

It the Cho-la really the road to Shamblah?

"Mountains kissing the clear blue sky!," I've seen that often but never heard it described that way until now. Beautiful!

Living in the western hemisphere's version of the ancient ones, I've learned all paths lead in. Shambhala, the long houses, the great cathedrals, knowing the wind in the stark blue sky. After finding then share what was there by doing, being and continuing to learn and listen.

Thank you for yours Bard. Nicely done.

You'd have to ask Rinpoche!

Hmmm. Nepal was where the Dali Lama fled in 1959 after his exile from Tibet, correct? I didn't realize that there was so much Buddhist history in this area.

Thanks for sharing with Gather's Best.
