Nov. 22 | The Snow Leopard by Peter Matthiessen

"Tomorrow...the last hope of seeing the snow leopard will be gone."

Snow leopard taste:
chapatis
Snow leopard sight:
ghostly smoke arises from the granites; red tents
Snow leopard sound:
chanting Buddhist vows; yak bells; Japanese
Snow leopard smell:
cedar, pine
Snow leopard touch: I rise, stiff and old
Snow leopard quote:
"No snowflake ever falls in the wrong place."; "In worrying about the future, I despoil the present..."
Snow leopard notable:
"At Murwa, crows replace the ravens for its is four thousand feet lower than Shey."
Snow leopard extra:
a deep glow of well-being; full of marvels
Snow leopard gratitude:
I am going home.; generous family and friends

Panthera progress:
For two mornings in a row, I almost slept in, but did get up early to go to work on the novel anyway. Both mornings, I was rewarded: Progress was made.
