Fracture to be united in by regis boileau
THIS EARTH FRACTURE ON WHICH MEN DECIDED, HUNDREDS YEARS AGO, TO BUILD THEIR BEDS AND ALTARS AND TO MEDITATE ON OUR HUMAN CONDITION, THIS IS A PLACE FOR WHICH I CAN'T SEE AN END AT ITS POETIC WEALTH AND PHILOSOPHICAL POTENTIAL. THIS MONASTERY (PHUKTAL, ZANSKAR, HIMALAYAS, 4067 M, 13343 FT) HAS A POWER ALMOST UNBEARABLE SINCE SO EXHILARATING. HOWEVER, IT'S HARD TO RENDER ON A PHOTO ALL THE STRENGTHS OF THIS LOCATION, TO DO IT JUSTICE. AS MUCH AS YOU TRY, SOMETHING IS MISSING ON THE PRINT: THE VERTIGO DOWNHILL, THE CLIFF UPHILL, THE POWER OF THE FAITH, THE INSUFFERABLE CLIMATE, ALTITUDE, THE OPPRESSIVE ISOLATION. THIS IS ONE OF MY BEST ATTEMPT. AS A MATTER OF INTEREST, I'VE SLEPT, AS A GUEST, IN ONE OF THE HOUSES ON THE RIGHT. ..................................................................
