It's about 7:30PM in the evening and I'm getting my daily dose of Deutsch. Lukas's cell rings. The only word I can understand in the short conversation is "Mutti". Lukas says: "Mutti died ~20 mins ago. Would you like to go there?" But of course!! How can it even be anything else. Lukas's Sister & Brother-in-law are picking us up in 15 mins.
As I put on my jacket, my mind takes a trip down the memory lane to the first time I met Mutti (as Lukas's Mother is lovingly called)
She was coming out of a Ship: dressed in hiking attire - trekking poles in hand, sporty sunglasses perched atop her nose.
Is she really 88 years old? I wouldn't put her a day over 60.
I quietly wonder how i will be if i survive upto that ripe age.
She's my instant Hero...

It's a rare beautiful Blue Sky day and I find myself driving up the steep single road of Bürgenstock to St Jost. I have been drawn to Kirchentürme (Church spires) across Europe especially those from really old Churches.
And just a few of them are my favourites - where i have found myself totally engulfed by Silence.. a Silence so deep, it penetrates into the depths of the Heart & Soul. When there's no more mind -- the normal racing thoughts suddenly grind to a complete halt and you blend in with the Silence and all you do is Observe and let the quiet dose of energy do it's magic...
Here's my attempt to paint a glimpse of these Kirchen (Churches).

I spy with my li'l eye a Bit of Blue... Whoa... BLUE SKY!!! After a week of grey skies, sub zero temperatures, round the clock rain & snowfall.. I'd forgotten what Joy the sight of Blue could bring -- not just to the eyes but straight to the Soul.
I happily skip over to get my cell & capture the beautiful sunrise (the sun still playing hide and seek) but the golden hue spreading on the clouds gives it away. Today is going to be a very Special Day.. I can feel it.. the goosebumps don't lie!! Or is it because I'm standing in the balcony in just my PJs.. I toss away the cold thoughts & allow myself to feel the magic of the spreading light and let it brighten my Day.
