(I probably have that quote wrong. dont' crucify me. I haven't seen Pulp Fiction in a good long time.)

so, yesterday I didnt' feel like doing doing a Tarantino tribute. I gave it my best shot though. However this fits more with the previous day's theme, "self-reflection."

Forgiving does not erase the bitter past. A healed memory is not a deleted memory. Instead, forgiving what we cannot forget creates a new way to remember. We change the memory of our past into a hope for our future.

TO FORGIVE IS TO SET A PRISONER FREE AND DISCOVER THAT THE PRISONER WAS YOU.

-- Lewis B. Smedes

If I am to be known,

Here I am.

Somewhere in the jungle

Of words,

I get lost.

But,

It’s not Me,

That I really want

You

To know.

If I could wish for you,

It would be,

To pass through this life

And not miss,

The Temple in the Woods.

But,

I watched,

Many pass by,

And,

Miss it.

Maybe then, it is for me,

To show you,

And we could share

In the wonder

That Is.

And,

I wait,

For You,

To

Show me too.

Religion is so strongly embedded in daily life that offering scenes like this in Kathmandu's noisy and crowded rush hours are so common that as spectator you're forced to be solidary in a moment of silence or selfreflection.

Be patient dear friends, I'm still searching my way thru more than 2000 photo's of our journey to Nepal and with a busy working weekend ahead, I have to cancel uploading until next week

I feel like Nathan Drake from Uncharted in here! It was super dark- even came out grainy on my A7rii but that's what I get for using a non-FE lens for this
