Nov. 11 | The Snow Leopard by Peter Matthiessen

Ghost prayer flags flap like the wings of griffon, dragon, or mythical eagles

Snow leopard taste:
coarse dull food
Snow leopard sight: 
bright Mars; full moon; Himalayan griffon
Snow leopard sound: the bell of Dorje-Chang; whisper of the shroud
Snow leopard smell:
clay fires of smudgy juniper
Snow leopard touch: a sudden rush of feathers, sweeping, a break of air
Snow leopard quote:
"Now! Here is the secret! Now!"; "Thus all is returned into the elements, death into life."
Snow leopard word of the day:
garuda-mythical bird
Snow leopard notable:
blue and white, celestial colors of the B'on sky god; air burial
Snow leopard extra:
restless-a common lunatic
Snow leopard gratitude:
common miracles, contentment, doing one thing at a time

Panthera progress:
more structural momentum
