annapurna round - thoughts

to enjoy is to experience the absence of pain that was there before

like when you first walk seven hours and sweat and climb
and then stop
and feel
how nice it is to sit on a chair
who could`ve thought that sitting on a chair could be so pleasant

or like travelling and arriving and leaving and attaching and detaching and moving and bying traintickets
and then to go home
and to feel how nicer it is to sit on a chair of home
than on any other chair
who could`ve thought that sitting on a chair of home could be so pleasant

craving for a craving to go, won`t lead to the end of that craving
an apple doesn`t eat an apple
the end of the craving will be the end of the craving
entered through the backdoor
or left
as you want

the word silence demonstrates how helplessly insufficient words can be
the word mountain as well
the word meter as well
the number 5416 as well
and then the word altitude sickness

the himalaya`s
drying your socks on a walking stick above a stove that burns on cow dung
the himalaya`s
the sound of the wind blowing in your bamboo walking stick
the himalaya`s
washing yourself with a bucket and a cup at minus zero degrees
the himalaya`s
Laura starting to see elephants in the back of horses
the himalaya`s
donkey traffic
the himalaya`s
getting altitude sickness while going down
the himalaya`s
Laura getting dressed to go to sleep
the himalaya`s
meditating in the dark, opening the eyes at sunrise
