As we were
descending down from the Kathmandu to Lumbini, the
birthplace of Buddha, trailing the cloud of mist through rolling hills along
the river valley and then plain of Terai, I was thinking of the spiritual
journey to calm my body and soul.
Last year
filled with trauma and turmoil. I was affected more by news of violence perpetuated
by humans upon humanity; atrocity on innocent children, especially, was
shocking. I was happy that the new year began with this promising journey for seeking
peace and equanimity.
