Head Constable Kumar checked my Covid test result as I entered Himachal Pradesh
My car was let through the checkpoint
and up into the mountains we drove
to meet Khyongla Rinpoche
being cared for by Norbu Tsering
Mya
Ananda
Simon
and Sapna who keeps everything clean
Rinpoche enjoys adventures
quiet spots
the wild
mountain tops
a spot where he can look out far
at other mountain tops
see goat keepers
and shepherds returning home
where their wives await them
Our elegant mountaintop tea maker…
and home
where we are blessed with a view of His Holiness’s residence
Norbu Tsering goes to work on dinner
and Rinpoche resumes his prayers
