As you went up in the bus from the plains (around 21 hairpin bends) you definitely noticed a change in the air as it became thinner. The atmosphere seemed to become cleaner and more sparkling. I often wish I could go back to the mountains.William Wildbloodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13231219533755925897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1513199068907090344.post-50484088508932284152022-09-09T23:36:19.212+00:002022-09-09T23:36:19.212+00:00There is something about mountains that is so spir...There is something about mountains that is so spiritual. <br /><br />At about 4,000 feet, I begin noticing a change in the air and the quality of the sunlight that is exhilarating - between 4,000 and 9,000 feet is where I'd want to live. <br /><br />At that height, the air, the light, the views, make it easier to "taste" God - I was going to say "think" of God, but it is really more like contact with the ground of our being, who is not just an entity among entities, but Good, Truth, and Beauty as such, or Being, Consciousness, and Bliss, as another tradition has it. <br /><br />Thanks for the lovely travelogue - it is always good to be reminded of mountains and pilgrimages. <br /><br />And thanks for the reminder to be detached from all creates things - all entities among entities - to come into contact with the Creator, the ground of all being, Being itself. <br /><br />Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13667917314028595187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1513199068907090344.post-47602948158986724162022-09-08T21:33:08.398+00:002022-09-08T21:33:08.398+00:00Very kind of you to say so, Carol.

They hark back to the chapter on India I wrote in Meeting the Masters which several people said was the part they enjoyed most.William Wildbloodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13231219533755925897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1513199068907090344.post-8682088533496897092022-09-08T18:56:04.310+00:002022-09-08T18:56:04.310+00:00This was such a lovely post!

You might try submitting it to a travel magazine or something...it 'reads' like the work of an established travel writer - especially if there are any spiritually oriented such publications.<br /><br />Thank you for sharing these experiences on your blog! I really love the way you so ably enrich the 'place' descriptions with such well written expression of your spiritual perspective. <br />Carolcaehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05126263938544146422noreply@blogger.com
