In the height of my worries tonight, that simple reminder came to me again: no mud, no lotus.This city has been baked in summer heat for nearly two weeks. Then suddenly—tonight—the rain came. Heavy rain. Not for long, but just enough. The smell of grass and trees rose up like a song, and I couldn’t … Continue reading No mud No lotus

Full Marathon
Maybe I'm delirious at the moment, but I'm thinking of trying a full marathon! 42,195 kilometers! It's insane! And for what exactly?! But... I'm thinking about it... Karin Sabrina
