Day 43

We've been in Kathmandu for one week now. Though the city is thrilling and exciting (i.e. packed bus rides and Durbar Square), I'm still slowly adjusting to the chaos and pollution. My soul is yearning for the mountains! I want to feel at home in this city, with its people, with my homestay family, but it's hard to find the healing, nourishing power of nature through the car exhaust and garbage-lined streets. But of course adjustments take time. And while I can feel my spirit is in need of its "home," whether that be in a forest or by the ocean or with a paper and pen and paint, I'm leaning to manifest my own little mountainous sanctuary in my mind, giving my soul peace in the crowded city.
