Nov. 9 | The Snow Leopard by Peter Matthiessen

Until now we have found no trace of leopard — The snow leopard is here.

Snow leopard taste:
buckwheat bread - like a lichened stone mandala
Snow Queen by Jody Bergsma
Snow leopard sight: glare ice; a big pug mark; a distinct cat scrape and print
Snow leopard sound:
deep muttering of boulders in the Black River; dread rumble of the universe
Snow leopard touch:
warmth of a wooden door; a disc of stony bread
Snow leopard word of the day:
prana - life energy
Snow leopard quote: "this labyrinth of caves and ledges is a fine haunt for leopard";
"Perhaps, in the days left to us, we shall never see the snow leopard but it seems certain that the leopard will see us."
Snow leopard extra: uneasiness
Snow leopard gratitude:
"the precise bite and feel and sound of every step that fills me with life"

Panthera progress:
much to do, time feels short
