Words Only

First Draft Club

In honour of tonight's episode of /okbanger (cc: @christin @cameron) I'm writing:

When I was in Nepal and COVID-19 paused the entire world; I was without a working mobile phone, hiking in the Himalayas, without a guide, and found out about the situation only when reaching a government checkpoint where they were letting nobody pass by. 

The friends I had met within the 10 days prior immediately split into three different groups according to level of panic. 

It was at a time in my life where I was meditating for an hour a day. I suspect that it was what allowed me to bring some equanimity and presence to the situations of the next days. 

I decided not to rush to source a jeep back to Kathmandu, but also not to freeze and stay put. The smaller group of friends I became a part of decided we would go to another nearby village in a different direction. A few magical days (pictured) were spent where things remained untouched by the chaos that would ensue, until police took our names and said leave for Kathmandu.

This is quite emotional 
Hope I don’t tear up in today’s Episode, Christin
Number One thing I’m picking from this though is, the power of meditation!

I already know we are going to have a nice time today

Beautiful 
One of the reasons I love Ok-banger is the community it has created over about how many weeks
