and there's always Pokhara

 it is here that i heal. 

i hadn't realized it until this visit in the truest sense, but it is in Pokhara, i've always managed to heal. i've been better since i got here. something about the lake calms me. to be near it, to be aware of its presence, seems to aid healing. i've come here in the past to heal from heartbreaks, to run away from life situations, to just hide and work mostly, and this time, it's healed me physically. 

i feel very grateful for this trip i'm making with my nephew, et. al. 

i've slept better and my gut is in better form too. i hope to go home healed and reformed.

i've also written a letter to Mamu. Went to the post office yesterday to post it. that's a story for another day!
