I'm not sure when it was in my development that I became a watcher of things: birds, clouds, seasons, time, but maybe it's part of the reason I love to travel. Travelling offers the opportunity to view the world from a different vantage point. I like the feeling of disappearing and re-emerging into something totally new, exploring this world from new angles.
Soon I'll be a tiny speck on a vast expanse of rock and I find that angle to be my most favorite vantage point of all. From a mountaintop perch, it's possible to watch a broad swath of the world below. It's humbling to realize one's small personal niche on this planet and nothing makes me feel better than to realize my own insignificance. I find the mass and gravity of mountains very grounding.
The tractive force of the Himalaya is pulling me closer each day....
