Hello Dear Ones,  I send you greetings from my broken  wide open heart! The magic and the reality/illusion of this place has been quite a full plate to embrace! \each night we walk around the Boudah Stupa with the locals that are praying fervently and I feel their hearts and I let go a little more. I have photographed what I believe to be angelic orbs that are packed in this place giving no attention to the poverty or the ache of these people only that they are here to celebrate the holiness of the stupa...we hear ; one of the most powerful places on the planet! I know I am changed for being here. The air here is the worst I've ever encountered as we wear a mask always and do our best to breathe only through our nose. The people   really have no idea what to do with the polution other than just be in it! ....\we took a taxi to Thamel sp? this am and I was simply amazed at the order of the chaos! The electricity has to be spread around as there isn't enough to go around the entire valley so they share with each other accepting 4hr. outages in different areas at different times! So Nepali!!!! We are headed out into the upper country Thurs. so much to see so much to encounter so many opportunties to be in my heart! I hope this finds you all well and happy today! Namaste! Kathryn
