It crept on me like a ghost
noiselessly, slowly, while the mists of the coming winter were thickening.
The only times it made a small, quiet noise, a voice covered it telling me "you deserved it".
Ah, such a beautiful, splendid lie.
And now it's almost time to leave for Nepal, my plane is in 50 hours, and the scale shows a horrible 135lbs.
Kate Bush used to sing about the Tengboche monastry in Wild Man. Let's hope they do not mistake me for a yeti.
PS I sofar ran 800km this year, but compared to the lovely Aye Ell 50km in one days, it sounds silly. Whatever I'm still bragging about it
The schoolmaster of Darjeeling said he saw you by the Tengboche Monastery.
You were playing in the snow. You were banging on the doors. You got up on the roof, Roof of the World.
You were pulling up the rhodedendrons. Loping down the mountain.
They want to know you. They will hunt you down, then they will kill you.
Run away, run away, run away...
While crossing the Lhakpa-La something jumped down from the rocks.
In the remote Garo Hills by Dipu Marak we found footprints in the snow.
We found your footprints in the snow. We brushed them all away...
From the Sherpas of Annapurna to the Rinpoche of Qinghai.
Shepherds from Mount Kailash to Himal Pradesh found footprints in the snow.
You’re not a langur monkey nor a big brown bear – You’re the Wild Man.
They say they saw you drowned near the Rongbuk Glacier.
They want to hunt you down. You’re not an animal.
The Lamas say you’re not an animal.

And you should brag about it! 800 km in a year is really good. Far more than most people, that is for sure.
