Nov. 24 | The Snow Leopard by Peter Matthiessen

Coming down from the mountain at the end of the journey, a feeling of failure

Snow leopard sound:
the mad dog of Rohagaon barked all night in vain
Snow leopard touch:
headache
Snow leopard smell:
pus and bad breath
Snow leopard quote of the day:
"It is crucial to emerge gradually from such a chrysalis, drying new wings in the sun's quiet, like a butterfly, to avoid a sudden tearing of spirit."
Snow leopard notable:
our common plight
Snow leopard extra:
sudden loss of altitude - a fury of dark energies
Snow leopard gratitude:
"I look forward to nothing."

Panthera progress:
faithful
