It’s been a while

We have ordered two silver stupas in memory of Khyongla Rinpoche

one will be in the Rato temple

the other at The Tibet Center - Kunkhyab Thardo Ling

where Rinpoche’s belongings are stored

Work has begun

measurements made

then scorching

the master awaits his money

I briefly visit America, nieces sort through Moroccan things

and nurture next generation

with pride!

dentistry is needed

as is camera repair

then a brief stop in Rome

to see my father

always a blessing

A pit stop in Delhi

and to Dharamsala

for some science of the brain

Finally home to Rato

I visit neighbors

some have new wheels

though not all

most have nothing

they tend their abode

little ones perform

there is some running water

it’s important to sweep

I visit my old friend Baba Sab

he makes flower garlands

Then to Manipal to print Rinpoche’s Secret Biography of His Holiness

we receive Ganesh’s blessings

Saint Anthony has a place nearby

close to the dengerous beach

we don’t go in

but return to Rato

where Rinpoche now a monk’s room
