...because happiness and well-being are more important than consumer transactions.

People say that what we’re all seeking is a meaning for life. I don’t think that’s what we’re really seeking. I think what we’re seeking is an experience of being alive, so that our life experiences on the purely physical plane will have resonances within our own innermost being and reality, so that we actually feel the rapture of being alive.

6 Passes Trek: Nov 6 - Nov 11, a set on Flickr.
We just arrived to the capital city of Thimpu after a 9 day/5 peak trek topping off at 16,000 feet. We were the fourth group ever to be given permission by the Prince and the Bhutan Olympic Committee to do this trek. We spent over 5 days above 14,000 feet. Physically exhausted and totally exhilarated! Trek 1 complete!
