Above all, my fondest memories are waking Maa up to coffee and jazz (Dave Brubeck’s Take Five) in the cool fall mornings, walking around the country side, and visiting local farmer markets and local provinces of Ferney and Gex. I did not know till now when I am living with Maa that what an amazing and skilled farmer she is, and therefore could not fathm the depths of her delight as she observed the cows, livestock, and farms of the countryside.
For such times, to feel at home in a land far away, I am grateful. I am grateful for Yannick Auffret and his lovely family in whose farm I made a home and whose love and natural beauty kept my soul warm through some very difficult and testing times.
Dear Brother ,
You are a special person who need time.
When you are with this time in your hands you are doing special moments for lifetime to everybody , in particular … me 😀😀😀
I can still small the mist feel the dew on grass under my feet and above all how bit reminded me of childhood when I visited Mukteswar!! I remeber fondly those walks with you around the country side and I would pick those delicious apples and pears! It was amazing to see the corn harvesting…almost seemed like magic! And how we landed up at that dairy and saw the milking etc. The farmers market and how you found out that nursery for I lived plants where i saw for the first time the insectivorous plants and the fright on your face when you put your finger around the drosera plant and it closed its flap! How you took me on that long drive in that mini but so strong car to the see tha alps….the food there the people the air-gliding…how you did things around me keeping in mind what gave me happiness! And i remeber so well the lively family you were living with and gifts the children got me! Loved to go and sit around their fishery! It was allbso wonderful! Out trip to Geneva the jettah the rose garden…i remeber allnof it so well! I am so grateful that God blessed me with a son like you ….always so caring! Love you son!
