My favourite place, anywhere. The magical, mysterious, energising, spiritual Swayambhu temple and monastery in the Kathmandu Valley. Arriving there as dawn unfolds awakens every sense in me, I feel it now, I connect with it as I write this poem.

“Dawn sweeps the valley
The Two Doctors
The rhythmic beat of the drum
Monks chanting sutra
Incense drifting in the air
Exhilarating calmness”

Thank you 🙏. It seems on the surface that exhilarating and calmness just don’t go together 🤣 But they do!
