Questions.

Questions.

So many questions.

And so little answers.

But with so much evidence.

I see that I am flying,

looking down at the snow-covered peaks of tall, tall mountains,

each of them poking out even through the highest of clouds,

and going on and on for miles and miles.

This is the roof of the world.

This is a sight that I have dreamed and longed for,

dreamed and longed for

for far too long.

These are golden fields of wheat

wheat so soft to the touch,

soft as a pillow;

particularly beautiful in the summer sunlight.

These are the yaks and dogs,

one creature barks and one creature pulling carts.

These are the scents of beauty and life and happiness,

they smell of sweet oils and incense.

These are the people:

slightly tan to the skin color,

robes of gold, red, and a thin blue lining in the delicate fabric.

Shy at first, but welcoming with their smiling lips and eyes.

Eyes that have more stories than you can even imagine to tell to you.

These are the people.

A young and smooth-skinned face,

Clothing made out of rainbows,

and an extra rainbow hanging over their heads.

These are the faces.

The faces of curiosity.

The faces of beauty.

The faces of happiness and prosperity.

The faces of peace.

All of this seems too familiar.

So exactly what am I?

I do not possess their qualities.

I do not have their blood in me.

I do not have that smooth tanned skin.

I do not have those golden, red and blue robes.

I do not have that feathery feel of black hair.

I do not physically have these qualities.

But maybe I do have these qualities mentally.

Maybe I am a peaceful human and a peacemaker.

Maybe I am a human with my own qualities that are similar.

Maybe I do possess a smile and a heart of gold like they do.

Maybe I try too hard to become something I know I am not...

Am I a Tibetan?

No.

Am I an American?

Yes.

Will I ever become a Tibetan in future lives?

Possibly.

Was I ever a Tibetan in a past life?

Most definitely.

And despite what I am and what I am not, will I remain certain that there is a Tibetan spirit inside of me?

No doubt about it.

Now it's time to bring it out.
... Pondering thoughts currently.

So You lived in Tibet while I lived in India :highfive:

That's very beautiful, I write some ponderous thoughts in my journal too about my heart to heart moments with India culture.

You should definitely hand write this on Lokta paper (Hand made paper from Nepal/Tibet) in Calligraphy and frame it. :D
