Such a great article! Thank you, @yoganarchista.
At first I just got curious about the hitchhiking adventures, taking me back to when I would go hitching just for adventure's sake, not knowing where I'd end up or how long I'd have to wait, if I'd get rained on...
But then I saw your awesome photos! (Honestly, pigeons have always reminded me of hip-hop kids hanging out on street corners, doing poor attempts at break-dance moves and free style rap, but mostly just trying to be cool.) What I liked most about your article is your approach to the Dalai Lama and the organized part of his faith. I know, paying money for blessings??? I mean, c'mon! The way I see the world, just that fact that you wrote about it on Steemit should secure a nice big blessing for you, don't you think? In any case, it did secure a follow and upvote!
