In 2014, after walking solo in the Himalaya’s for 30 days, I found myself at the banks of the river Ganges at nightfall. Thousands of pilgrims had gathered to the water’s edge, where they lit candles on plates made of leaves, and sent them floating downstream. As I watched, the sun went down and the stars shone out. I found the cosmos mirrored in the waters about me, and so was born the River of Stars blog which explores the relationship between the inner and outer worlds.
