My dear friend, gave me this book, from his recently departed father’s collection. To read on the plane, on my way to meet my wife in Malaysia. After being apart for a month.
11hr flight, I’m sitting between two other men. Wanting to cry out loud, sobbing between them. (As they slept)? As I read this book.
On our trip in Malaysia and Indonesia. We went to buddhist temples, Tamil Hindu caves, joined a service in a mosque. At night, I read Siddhartha to my wife.
Tomorrow I will give the book to my friend Robert. A generous soul, who has survived cancer, and a stroke. Who is flying to Portugal, for a long visit, with an old friend.
The highlight of our just finished trip. The day before returning home.
Two little giggling girls ran up to me. Took the back of my hand and pressed it to their cheek and forehead. Then ran off to their home. A few minutes later, a storm drove us into a doorway. Where we were invited in for tea, with a charming young woman. Who told us of her home on a remote island.
There is nothing like walking, in a strange land. With joy in your heart.
