"A rare but significant event which doesn't seem possible or likely to occur, until it does." Thus the Black Swan are metaphors of this when the settlers of Australia saw the Swan in Black for the first time.

And just like that, we learn to embrace the waves that crash onto us.

A calming lounge full of cats well looked after. A one of a kind cafe that doesn't make a living out of but makes a living for the cats. A must visit cafe in the town. ❤️

Have to hop in one day as Albert and Nouni I believe couldn't make it to my snaps.

📍 Thadrak Goenpa

After the recurring dreams of Guru Rinpoche, Lam Sangay Jamtsho built this Goenpa. It is said that Guru Rinpoche prophesied that he would go to a place where he would find a phurba and build a Goenpa. Thadrak Goenpa's site is the place fitted as per the Prophecy. After building a small temple, it was named Gaden Neepa (Neepa means second in Dzongkha, The first is in Tibet) which holds the Kilkhor (Mandala) of Phurba although it is called as Naktshang Goemba today.

With few resources, Lam Sangay Jamtsho built small temples. His reincarnation, Tshula Jamtsho later build a great Temple which is now known to be Thadrak Goenpa.

It is located at an altitude of about 3300m and takes upto 2 hours after an uphill hike from Lungtenphu Headquarters. It can also be accessed by a motor road from Hongtsho, Dochula. Thadrak Goenpa from Yangchenphug is an easier route with a gentle slope but takes around 3 hours time to reach the Goenpa.

Talakha Goemba - One of the Four La Chhens

Located at an altitude over 3000m, 15th century Talakha Goemba overlooks the long stretched Thimphu valley. This Goemba is also known as Tashi Drukgyal Goemba. Even though the Goemba looks visually near, the road which leads to it is a one of a kind 🤭 journey. One can hike from Simtokha Dzong area or take a bumpy ride via Chamgang (muddy in summer and snowy in Winter).

The Lam at this place is powerful during the time of Zhabdrung as he is one of the Lachhens of Bhutan. The Talakha Lam looks over all the administrative and religious matter in Wang area during Zhabdrung's time (Mainly Thimphu and Punakha) like the Dzongda these days.

The Goemba founded by Trulku Sherab Gyeltshen is considered to be older and has also seated the great great Grandfather of Zhabdrung, Lam Ngawang Chogyal.

Nothing more refreshing than to post after a long break.
My October started today. 😅
I have always wondered about the greater things in life and wandered for the greater things in life. To achieve a greater success was my goal and to achieve that goal, the toll was too much to bear...
.for the things I have seen and the things I have thought about need to mean to me and they need to have a significance to me. Because then, those things which don't mean shouldn't exist. And that was what I thought. They do not make a sense to me and for me, they do not exist. This was what I meant. But then I have started to have things which don't mean to me but they mean because I exist.

The road I always tread happily will not be the road someone would tread happily everyday. The willow tree under which I wait would be just a tree not appreciated for it is just a willow tree. The U-turn I always cross and the hand that I promise to hold forever will be someone else's to cross and hold. And with this realization, everything makes sense. Yes, it is more clearer for me now.

And here I was, waiting in the forest. The mossy dark forest. I breath the mossy air but then I long for the light. The light which would warm me. And I am walking slow for I know that these small steps of mine would surely take me out to the open fields where I long to go out. Maybe a year later. Maybe decades later. Or maybe right now. And who knows I might be hit by lightnings or be chased by bulls in the open. But then then the small steps I take; I have found my joy in them. My happiness in them. I have found happiness in me and in everything I do.
And I will be warm and I will be alive even in the this mossy forest as I have found happiness in you. ❤

The Castle on the hill

Lungchutse (KLungchhutse: ཀླུུང not རླུུང):
The books and the local people call it Lungchhutse (ཀླུུང-klung), that is what the Castle perched on the hill should be called. But with the passing of time, the name has manifested itself to Lungchutse (རླུུང-lung) (which literally means the hill on which the wind blows or that is what I deciphered). And it sure makes sense. On that hill, the wind literally slaps you.

After taking a wrong concept of the place, we reached the place. That is where not only did I get a slap of the wind but also the slap from the truth. Lopen Koengyer took his time to share me the knowledge regarding the place. And the first thing I knew was Lungchhutse was it's real name (which means the hill/peak from where one can see everything).

Castle on the hill by Ed Sheeran, it takes us to the nostalgic old days of Ed, mashing up both his good and bad old days, of how he broke his leg running away but then smelled the sweet perfume of the mountain grass he rolled down from.

The Castle on the hill in this picture, YES, I can smell the mosses, see the sunlit areas among the dark moody forest, can hear birds chirping their heart out (maybe their lungs out???), can hear myself panting and getting impatient because the road is long ( and I was having the nature's call, the long nature's call again).

I plan to visit once again for the path has been trodden and the journey would be short and my nature's call, I hope would be short so that I can focus more ཀློངly (broadly).

Like Ema datshi, this bird can be seen everywhere around the country but I can never get enough of both of them. 🤣

In the Christian religion, magpies are seen rebellious owing to their refusal to mourn the crucifixion (not exactly sure. Can be counted as a myth though).
Magpies and humans have lived together for centuries, not as a community but as part of the ecosystem (is community synonymous to ecosystem?) just like the crows and the pigeons cawing and cooing around the town. Their relatives are the Crows and the Jays.

They forage in groups, making noises in the Himalayan forests. And what do they do? I got a great deal of information from a local birder, my Ama. They forage the fields. So in our local dialect, we call it a thief. 🤭
