Nov 26 | The Snow Leopard by Peter Matthiessen

The leopard-eyed frog looks into the mud and says, "Good night, stranger."

Snow leopard taste: tea, turnips, yogurt
Snow leopard sight: leopard-eyed saint
Snow leopard sound: "Good night, sah."
Snow leopard touch: sore and heavy when I rise; hobbled by a sharp pain
Snow leopard smell: fresh frog mud at the rivulets, sweet chicken dung in sunny heaps - the smells of childhood morning days that warm my heart
Snow leopard word of the day: Kali Yuga - the Dark Age
Snow leopard quote of the day: "This warm season is the season of a dream, not quite like any autumn I have known."
Snow leopard extra: so naturally does he belong where the moment finds him;
Snow leopard gratitude: a mountain village where strangers are made welcome

Panthera progress: just a little
