a memory burbled up this morning as i fuddled around in our kitchen with the dogs breakfast. It was a long time ago, on pilgrimage in Tibet walking towards Mt Kailas. Mornings could be bitterly cold. Some of us would bravely get out of our sleeping bags to stretch out the knots and fatigue the previous days march had left us. Most would wait, snugged into their down cocoons, for the warm morning wash water and its accompanying tin mug of steaming chai. The cook tent was abuzz with jet engine like gas burners going full bore, boiling water, heating porridge, etc. All the lads were in there busy at their respective chores and duties, laughing and ribbing each other. i would sneak in and find a rice sack in a corner to perch on, enjoying the warmth, the cooking smells (and fumes - its all part of it), smiling at jokes i couldnt understand - some of which might even have been about me (didnt matter). There was humanity, sustenance and camaraderie. Couldnt ask for more. youtu.be/a3XaLpZSW14
