CAST INTO THE FUTURE (PDF-1177)

I am reminded of one of our trips to Tibet when we climbed to the Crystal Cave of Guru

Rinpoche, a pretty inaccessible place. It was an all-day hike and we needed whatever

help we could get, so we started out having a local Tibetan drive us up an old creek bed

in a small trailer on the back of one of those Tibetan tractor-like machines. There we

were riding in the back, as the tractor very slowly crept up the dry stream bed.

And we (too soon for me) reached a point where the tractor could not pull us any farther

and it was get out and help push or just walk. We walked, and that was still at the

beginning of the beginning of the climb. It was not long after that that we were literally

walking among the clouds.
