Tibet. The land of our tears — tears of joy, tears of pain, and everything in between. The mountains, the people, the Tibetan way of life, harsh yet simple and so beautiful. The mountains remind you of how small you are and how trivial most of your problems. The people are generous, kind, accepting and tolerant and are incredible teachers in how to let go of anger, pride, envy and greed.
The Tibetan way of life is easy to observe every moment of every day. We were so fortunate to witness a traditional barley harvest where the men bring in the harvest, and the women separate the grain from the chaff using hand woven baskets and big electric fans.
So many life lessons abundantly present yet hidden from most of humankind. Tibet may be the best kept secret on the planet. A harsh yet tender place providing a very fertile garden for growing as a human being in this complex and ailing world.
