Tashi Delek


I'll be honest, I thought I would be posting blogs daily and it just hasn't been the case...for many causes and conditions. However, I posting one now!

Currently, I am in Bir. In the state of Himachel Pradesh. The mountains and weather remind me of Boulder at it's best. The sky is a pool of blue. The crisp view of the mountains make me smile especially when a paraglider floats by. The hundreds of prayer flags dance in the wind.

In the mornings, I see the sun rise as I shower using my warm bucket of water. Hallelujah for warm water!

I am meditating, reading the Dharma, staying clear of intoxicants, offering English conversation to a student of a local monastary.


I've been in Bir for a few weeks and now I see many familiar faces...I greet them by saying "tashi delek" with my hands clasped at my heart and a slight bow. THe people here are soooo sooo kind, warm, and caring.

I miss my loved ones back home AND I am in love with this paradise that I am blessed to walk in daily.
I am finding peace, inspiration, and strength from within.

Tashi Delek!
