This was a view of what paradise could look like for me, in a trekking trip to Nepal back in 1998. It was inexplicably magical to be surrounded by omniscient mountains, revelling at how the light of the setting sun brushed the tips of the highest mountains, igniting the resplendence of the Himalayas all around us.
In that space, I felt small and yet contented - gratified to be a minuscule but fundamental chess piece in this gargantuan and turbulent world where all of us have a place and role to fulfill. And most importantly, realising that the most beautiful things in life are free yet priceless.
I hope to return to Nepal, up in the mountains where I feel most at home in, together with the Bees. So that they can understand that true beauty really costs us nothing, except for an appreciation for the natural phenomenon all around us.
