One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

To be left awestruck is an occurrence that I've only ever found in ancient secret places or in nature. You know that moment when something in some way gives you the feeling of an unidentifiable nostalgic warmness and mystery. This has happened once to me.

I was in Yushu Tibet. Right outside of town there is this area spanning about 4 miles,boarding the Himalayas that has intactly carved Sanskrit inscriptions into almost every stone surface. This is believed to have been on of the places the Stone Princess was believed to have stopped and meditated for many days. Calm and happiness radiated for every direction. Because of it's importance and hidden location this place was kept safe from the cultural revolution and isn't even known to the vast majority of the world. The only possible was to feel here is, peace.
