For the day never really begins without looking at them..i'd live without a day of sunshine..
We were at a village this time, a sleepy one at that, where the mosquitoes too, it seemed - when they sat on human skin - took a straw - a flavor and some barbeque and then sucked bloody whiskey.
Everybody had extra hours, clocks too had time off, as the seconds slowed down, yawned and ticked away.
The cows grazing on the lush green field ..reminding me of heavens.. It was a silent lullaby drowning me into a fragrant sleep..
"And i would turn a hundred and seventee years old here" said Ag -numbers had recently become her passion and there had to be a math behind it. One that was not meant for dreamy Saturday mornings..
Lil had slept reading a book, she opened her eyes and continued reading - sleep was just a necessary distraction - Sophie's world was wat she was reading - "who am i, papa" she asked - i smiled back
"you must know where to look..."
"Look witheeeennnn " added Agnes
Lil tapped the book and dived back into Sophie's world - looking for answers..
Basis a "finding roots" initiative, parents and kids of the school had found themselves in a village.
While the others complained about the lack of electricity, the women of my house were searching for constellations in the night sky...
While they clicked pictures of the indigenous, the girls spoke to them - sharing a way of life.
"Why do we need cities pa, when the village way is so nourishing?' Lil asked on our final night - as we took one last walk down the village road -
" Humans Lil don't know where to stop, where to call it a day and see what has been accomplished. We dont have to do whatever we can.."
"It is our choices, far more than our abilities that decide who we truly are.. So my dear Lily, you are the choices you make"..quoting Dumbledore
She grabbed my hand and continued to gaze the stars..
Agnes..a few steps ahead..was in a Marley mood ..
" my feet is my only carriage..
so I've got to push on through.. "
Said she to the glowing night.
