Himalayan dreams



I'm not coping too well with readjustment and reintegration into life on Male. It takes a lot of effort to summon an interest in potential work opportunities (which isn't fair to the people who work with me); I haven't been able to even get back to swimming and fitness.

Instead, a spring journey to Nepal is slowly taking shape in my thoughts, even though logistics forbid such indulgence so soon. But I've never been out there in the spring, never really seen rhododendrens in bloom.

Meanwhile, Images of the high Tibetan landscapes bathed in the dying sunshine sun keep flooding back constantly, and I have to force my thoughts back to the more immediate challenges and surroundings.

Perhaps when the documentary is finally done I can put the Himalyan dreams behind me and concentrate on work and life at sea-level and for a sustained period.
