	Windblown Clouds by Thomas K. Shor
		While Mount Pantokrator, on the Island of Corfu in Greece, might be a high mountain whose peak is shrouded in mystery, it will always remain a solitary peak, one to be scaled from any angle, never far from the sea.
		It is a great mountain, both conspicuous for its height and for its bareness above lush lowlands.
		First upon a mountaintop in Greece - the birth place of Western civilization - and then in the high peaks of the Indian Himalayas, he attempts to penetrate the barriers that inhibit our understanding of each philosophy.
