The
land and climate leave their imprints daily. Yet an even more
lasting impression on these adventurers is created by Tibetan
pilgrims, monks and generous villagers eager to share what little
they possess: yak butter tea, the warmth of their family's fire,
camaraderie and a steadfast trust in the Dalai Lama's
return.
A tale of personal enlightenment.
In the
shadow of Everest, the couple becomes an invaluable witness to a
Tibetan culture pushed to the brink of extinction by brutal Chinese
occupation for over fifty years. They also discover the human link
connecting us all, a link that becomes clearest on a trek that
removes the distractions of modern life as it unveils the truths of
"deliberate travel." It's enlightenment – one-step-at-a-time.
Together, they discover a sense of greater purpose, wonder, a
renewed faith…and what it takes to survive.
Come
along on their physical, spiritual and emotional pilgrimage through
the highs and lows in this colorful, candid and classic tale.
