Communion with nature

Today was one of the harder days at work, not hard from any particular thing that I could point out, it was just one of those days when you feel very tired of it all, you feel sapped of all your energy, more mentally than physically...all this said, it doesn't mean it was an unproductive day work wise, that is the funniest or strangest part of these kind of days. It was a very productive day work-wise, but I was mentally as tired as I ever can think of.
I don't know if you get what I mean...these kind of days don't happen often to me, it usually happens when I'm a bit stressed, anyways, that is not the point of this blog.

The point is, how do I snap out of this kind of a day, where one feels totally down for no explicable reason. Simple. Thanks to Radhesh, I watch his Sar pass photos compilation with the divine music on my superb speakers with full volume, it is almost as if the combined effect of the beautiful photos and the music enters the tired body and drives all the negativity and stress out.

Sar pass trek has probably been the best 10 days of my life ever, and thanks to technology, we are able to relive it again and again and again, and each time, I feel the same way as I felt when I was trekking in Parvati valley onto Sar pass. Anybody who has experienced something similar totally understands what people mean by Himalayas being divine., they truly are. I have been to some really beautiful places during my treks, but each time I recall my Sar pass trek and see this video I get goose bumps.

Do watch it if you have not, if possible, watch it with the volume up, the experience is truly divine, it is a communion with nature, I feel truly one with nature.

And if you have never been to the Himalayas, do go there. It is an experience that has to be...well experienced, it cannot be talked about. You can talk about it with someone who has experienced the same, with no words exchanged at all. It is almost as if there is a secret language of those who have been to the divine mountains, you mention about the Himalayas to anyone who has been there and I can bet that without another word exchanged, both will feel amazingly good and relive the experience in a second.
Experiencing the Himalayas (or even reliving it) kind of a communion with nature cures all.
