There’s no need to pretend Kharnak’s nomadic lifestyle is a romantic portrait of the ‘tradition way of life’. Behind every photo of me holding a cute baby goat is the hardworking, determined, tough and adaptive shepherd keeping the flock alive and the whole family milking for multiple hours each day. From the older households who tried settle in the city and returned, to the younger one who now bear the responsibility to look after the community monastery or the new-ishly initiated plantation experiment, there are challenges, uncertainties, commitment, hope and dreams. I am grateful for crossing path with the community, and once again, inspired to live more intentionally. As always, my God is telling/teaching me a lot through this trip. Thank you, Kharnak 🙏🏼
