From Ves­sel to Ves­sel – Gen­tle and Sim­ple

An aha moment at Cheri Monastery: rainwater trickling quietly from vessel to vessel.

The sim­ple solu­tion reveals itself after the steep climb up to Cheri Monastery (Cha­gri Dor­je­den): for fif­teen years we’ve lived with an unsat­is­fy­ing over­flow solu­tion for rain­wa­ter after thun­der­storms, and here the very same prob­lem is solved so sim­ply, so log­i­cal­ly — and, what’s more, almost med­i­ta­tive­ly. The qui­et trick­le of water, spilling from one ves­sel into the next — this is exact­ly how we’ll car­ry this learn­ing from Bhutan home with us, a last­ing aha-moment made real.

Our ideas and texts are born in lively dialogues - while hiking, over a cup of coffee, during a break - or with a simple question. Inspiration can be found everywhere - it is a matter of putting it into words and sharing it.
