Goodness - Blogabond

Got up at 5 this morning, no jet lag, on fire about this project. I grabbed my first latte in 2 weeks (don't tell me I don't suffer for my craft), and then a few tentative sketches in my notebook from the trip erupted into pages of ideas. The project begins to gather some momentum. Sometimes design feels like a punishing dance with a really obnoxious partner...and sometimes it feels like...I don't know. Something really good.

Some thanks are in order:
To Charles Simmons and his wife Marla, for trusting us with the future of Tharpaling Norbu
To Kim Fernandez, for so kindly recommending us to Charles
To Sherab Tenzin and his wonderful wife Sonam, for hosting and for their generous gifts
To Thuji Nadik, for his time, Wisdom and a great night at his House (that yak was tasty).
To Kezang for outrageous organizational skills and a gentle spirit
To Brother Yeshi Sempa for sharing his truly breathtaking knowledge of Bhutan and of Buddhism

...and finally to Pala for driving all over the country for us, and always with a sly smile.

Kuzuzampo to all, and I hope to see you again soon!
