Some places leave an indelible mark on you
One such for me is Leh in Jammu Kashmir in North West India also known as Little Tibet
Until fairly recently it was only approachable by road for a few months every year before the snows made the roads impassable again
Not surprising really as the road over the high passes goes over 4,000 meters or 13,000 ft and where the snow arrives in September and only melts in April/May
Driving at this altitude most experience headaches while the body adjusts to the altitude and the air pressure
Today it is just a short flight from Delhi
Shame really because it is yet another short cut in life where you make no effort, just pay money and arrive
In the times I refer to flying was not an option, unless you were in the Indian Armed forces, so all endured, and that is what it was, a bumpy and long journey over the mountains from Manali
Why though am I mentioning Leh?
Why because I met remarkable people there and had some very unusual experiences
The town itself is not so remarkable except the irrigation system which is amazing and crucial to the towns well being
The people are a mixture of Indian and Tibetan and friendly to outsiders
Leh is very old and while not part of the Old Silk Road was a trading centre from way way back
The remarkable people I met were Tibetan and who taught me several things about mind control and patience
Others took me to special places where I saw amazing sights and again taught me things about healing through control of energy by the mind
These were powerful teachings, however the energy of Leh and the special places I visited were also special and so quite often I find myself thinking about Ladakh and the time spent there
In your life you probably also have a special place and or time which still resonates with you
Somewhere which gave you unique experiences
A time which was special
For all of us such times are worth remembering because the resonance is still there if we want it to be
Try it, remember that special place or time
If you do then the energy you experienced can be with you again
So?
So when we want we can feel how it was and that is why I mention it because to feel that special time again is neat
Special times are worth remembering and experiencing again
.
Question are you still creating special times or are you just bumbling through life?
.
Life goes so fast today it is all too easy just to bumble through
.
Take control of your time and do something interesting create another special time

I wish all the pics (they are beautiful) had captions/place-names. Would have helped the "Wanderer" in planning where to make the route 'meander' to.
Best wishes,
