Often we see what we want to see. Of course there is also the option of keeping eyes open and seeing the truth...
The monsoon shroud is lifting, exposing the greatest mountain range on earth, the mighty Himalaya. The rainy season clouds hid her from us but we knew she was there. The last twelve months has been a year however where no veil could ever be thick enough to hide the truth and the struggles that just seem to keep slamming. Three days ago another mudslide, six more children dead... it hardly made the news.
The disagreements continue, disgruntled parties have reaffirmed their plan to protest, goods are only sparingly making their way from the Indian border. There are very few tourists and I have never seen less smiles in this gob smacking beautiful country, a confronting, raw, real country where beauty is at one turn, a beast at another, you never know what you will see next, what will happen, the paradox that is Nepal.
To some it may feel as if Nepal has shut down... but it hasn't, there is life here in every form. We need to protect it... #people #wildlife #habitat
