Wind

 
                                                  Prayer Flags in the wind - Everest 2010


Wind is definitive not a friendly element for trekkers and pilgrims, especially when it is cold and you are walking at 4000 meters of altitude having problem breathing.
We were way above 4000 meters, we stopped to rest, repaired by a big stone, in front of us the view of three stunning mountains and the view of the old monastery of Tengbochee overlooking the valley, above us an Himalayan eagle is flying free knowing how to ride the wind so beautifully. 
From behind this stone I started listening to the wind, the sound was strong but now that is not an enemy anymore it is instead nice and sweet ... I am sure that it brings a message somewhere... Unfortunately I do not know its language.
