Himalayas - 132
Life : The Seeker ... 1
_____

There is this very
beautiful small
boulder strewn
river in
Himalayas ...

... gently murmuring
crystal clear ...
... cool ... and
rejuvenating ...

On its bank grows a
wild Kaiku tree ...
... laden with fruits
on which barbets ...
Treepie and ...
Magpies feast ...

And ...
... there is this
wonderful Ashram on
the other bank ...
... that
Marc Zuckerberg
recently alluded to ...

... and where he
stayed when he came to
India as a young lad ...
... before he became
what he is ...
... so he mentioned
in an interview ...

A partially eaten
fruit ... dropped ...
and rolled over to
a boulder ...
... mid stream ...

Where this fabulous
Magpie reached ...
to seek ... with tail
raching the sky ...

It was here ... I had
a glimpse of the
... doors of perception
back in the
summer of 1992
