These red ants are found in the Gadchiroli district of western India. They are ground and eaten as chutney with food; apparently, they’re yummy. I never tried!

Horizon — Tenzin Tsundue

Tenzin is a Tibetan freedom fighter, writer, and activist who combines unwavering dedication and fervor with a calm and serenity rarely found in people pushing the boundaries of authority through activism. I’m grateful to have had the opportunity to meet him, and even though that was more than four years ago, I still draw lessons from that meeting, especially in times of volatility.

From home you have reached
the Horizon here.
From here to another
here you go.

From there to the next
next to the next
horizon to horizon
every step is a horizon.

Count the steps
and keep the number.

Pick the white pebbles
and the funny strange leaves.
Mark the curves
and cliffs around
for you may need
to come home again.
