Memories can be so comforting at times, taking you back to a time when you were safe , lived in a safe haven and the world was as prefect as can be. Last evening we all traveled back in time ..me, lessie, lali , bulun. It was like going back on a time machine....to a world when make believe was real. Lessie believed that the house helper was a gangster.....and lali believed that their neighbor actually had treasures buried....pots of gold!!!! We all had our own imaginary world...we surrounded ourselves with characters who bordered on fantasy..Looking back it's a shame we grew up..grew old and older.......I never could relive vicariously again...I will always hear the bird calling out saying "I'll never be young again...."
Heidi lived in Alps with her Alms uncle - I read this story in a book that was called The Big Big Story Book and it had a compilation of amazing stories that were my first foray into the world of English story books. Recently on a long flight I watched the movie much to delight of the young steward who was our attendant that night. My first glimpse of the Alps was from our flight ...the dawn breaking to spread the orange hues over the snowy terrain...looked mesmerizing even to someone who is not too fond of the mountains. Switzerland was beautiful, with its manicured terrain and flowers like pretty maids all in a row, picture perfect setting and breathtaking, like a touch me not porcelain beauty. Coming from my "elo melo" city I wondered how people managed to keep a country so organized , I have trouble keeping my room in ship shape...... No, I would not like to live there ......it's too distant and too cold ,but what I will carry in my heart is the awesome time .......
