Kadisha (Classic Print)

Gorkhi-Terelj National Park, Mongolia: As the sun rises over the unending pastureland surrounding us, I get up and exit the warmth of the yurt and see Kadisha with her cows a short distance away. Within seconds, my naked hands feel as if I plunged them into icy water. It's a frosty morning, and the crunch of the frozen grass underfoot is the only distraction from the biting cold.

Kadisha works diligently, coaxing milk from the cow's udder with practiced ease, while the cow's calf watches on, its big brown eyes fixed on the intruder stealing his breakfast. I can't help but feel a twinge of guilt at the thought of taking away from the calf's nourishment... But Kadisha doesn't seem to share my concern. Instead, she greets me with a warm smile, as if she can sense my apprehension and is telling me, “Don’t be silly.” 

Back inside the cozy yurt, she hands me a bowl of steaming tea, its rich, salty aroma filling my senses. I put it to my lips... The warmth spreads through my body, driving away the chill of the morning as well as any lingering guilt.
