Living and studying in a Tibetan monastery, photographer on the Dalai Lama media team, autodidact, troublemaker, proud girl dad, happy Californian.
From Ladakh, 2023. Btw, the look on the Dalai Lama's face is because he is watching Tibetan children perform for him, and he is intensely moved and filled with adoration, even more than usual. Precious moments.

Tomorrow is the day. On the heels of the majestic and awe-inspiring celebrations of His Holiness' 90th birthday, I have the privilege of heading to Ladakh to be with him there for a month as he visits Zanskar and other extraordinary places. Ladakh is a slice of heaven for me. Happy to be going back!

Robinson Jeffers is one of my most favorite poets. He wrote rather masculine poetry and it often resonates deeply with the hearts of good men. “The gang serves lies, the passionate Man plays his part; the cold passion for truth hunts in no pack” …. “Yours is not theirs.”
![Robinson Jeffers (1887-1962) is one of my most favorite poets. He wrote very masculine poetry and it often resonates deeply with the hearts of good men. Jeffers coined the word "inhumanism": the belief that humankind is too self-centered and indifferent to the "astonishing beauty of things." In the poem "Carmel Point" Jeffers called on humans to "uncenter" themselves.[5] In "The Double Axe" Jeffers explicitly described "inhumanism" as "a shifting of emphasis and significance from man to 'notman'; the rejection of human solipsism, and recognition of the trans-human magnificence... This manner of thought and feeling is neither misanthropic nor pessimist... It offers a reasonable detachment as rule of conduct, instead of love, hate and envy... it provides magnificence for the religious instinct, and satisfies our need to admire greatness and rejoice in beauty." (Btw, re Catullus: Gaius Valerius Catullus was a renowned Roman poet who lived from approximately 84 BC to 54 BC. Born in Verona, in the Cisalpine Gaul region of northern Italy, Catullus came from a wealthy and well-connected family. His father was reportedly a friend of Julius Caesar, which provided the young poet with social connections in Rome)](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:p4yihm64j5ccto6yw4tuptvq/bafkreibgbx4sjj5lmvyw7i6v42hnz44ppo3zoqsuntxl3uix2tfl5zshuy@jpeg)
