Love at first sight

When i saw it, i was like hello. There you are, i was waiting for you.
I did something on the floor, i think with my shoes. It laid there in front of me, the perfect match.

Yes it happens from time to time, that you find the perfect walking stick on the floor.

I called it Annapurna, and the stick was a big friend for the coming days in the mountains.

We had to say good bye on the last day, as it didn´t fit into the jeep which took me back to Pokhara. Left it leanining to some building.
Hope it found a new friend 🙂

Thank you Annapurna.

 

Just Observe

On a 5 day Trip to the Himalayan Mountains it´s kind of programmed that you always meet the same persons/groups on the way, so it was also this time. Started in Nayapool, in direction of Poon Hill alone with no guide or porter to help with my Backpack.

Anyway i was meeting people and groups from all kinds of backgrounds and countries, until i met this one big group of maybe 7 people, they were loud and always laughing very loud. A laugh that comes from the guts, really and all the group was like that, for me it sounded kind of creepy.

My mind went on to categorize and organize this group into to the “i dont like” shelf,  tried to overtake and avoid them the best I could the remaining of the trip.

What happened was that each day i would meet them again, always in a situation, where I would fall exactly behind them, really out of nowhere i would cross with them and fall behind them, each and every day of the 5days.

Lesson learned, try to just to observe things, without categorizing. It´s very hard to learn it as I am very much programmed to always categorize everything in an eyeblink.
