Today I’ve finished a new canvas- garden terrace. It is a contemporary landscape in just all the colors of late summer on the terrace in our garden. Small garden statue of a girl is silently watching colorful display of all the bushes, trees and flowers in the warm sun rays. How often have I sited here, quietly observing the clouds flying over the horizont and watching the butterflies and black birds, each year remembering the colors and noises from a year ago….and always dreaming about the summer that is going to come one day………
“Let me tell you the meaning of the sacred and alluring garden that blooms in the heart of the desert and produces the food of life. The garden for which you are currently heading is nowhere and everywhere except in the camps. It is another name for the only place where you belong, Michaels, where you do not feel homeless. It is off every map, no road leads to it that is merely a road, and only you know the way.”
― J M Coetzee, Life And Times Of Michael K
