From 2009 to 2014, I waited.
I waited to get to Nepal, because then, things would settle down for a bit. In Nepal, I said, I’d be able to finally (finally!) rest in that perfect peace of knowing that life was at an even keel. My heart wouldn’t be burdened by a years’-long timeline, or a to-do list that spanned continents and oceans.
Finally, we would be still.
