travelogue

i feel so honored to be here. overwhelmed, almost. although i've always yearned to be here, to see this, to feel this moment, now that i'm actually here, i am almost speechless.

the way it looks, sounds, smells is so much better than i'd expected. and no matter how many books you've read that describe it, it is nearly impossible to find the words to recount an experience so intensely personal.

i'm sure all who've been here would describe it differently. but, god, if tehre were some sort of special camera that could actually record a realistic, panoramic 360. the way the light is almost electric in how it frames everything in sight. how the people's faces almost shine with the effervecense of their souls.

and, my god, the smells are so heavy that they almost saturate your clothes. i'm amazed at the range of fragrances that run the gamut from subtle to overwhelming.

i'm guessing that, by now, you're just dying to know more about this place. you may be thinking you'd like to plan your next vacation around this storied destination. it is a place both ancient and new.

well, the best part about this place is its proximity - its nearness to several of the world's cities and towns. if you take the time to plan well, you can travel here on almost any budget and in virtually any season of the year.

this place is both no place and all places. it is the little rural hamlet, unincorporated and tax-free. it is the beautiful garden, the private paradise of awake.
