We eat beauty. We drink it by the clear cold glass-full of water.
This evening we consumed it by the bite-sized dosa-and-peanut-n-coconut-chutney mouthfulls - with soft hot idlis as chasers. Very stuffed we were at the end. And then some 44% cocoa dark chocolate while we read Character Sketches as a family - reclining in a big bed. How amazing this life that we have to live. How precious the moments of it.
And all around us a blaze of colour blesses our eyes. And waits to be transcribed, transposed and illuminated.
Earlier in the evening Enoch finished this study in colour and abstract form. "Send it to Stefan uncle by email" he chortled. I decided to go one up and put it up this way.
It is just one of the colourful studies Enoch has done in his note-book - along with his school studies. As a conscientious 1st standard student he is no stranger to home-work. But what a joy to see the colourful pictures punctuating the pages of pencil-writing that Enoch has already worked through this year.
Speaking of our amazingly artistic - and art-promoting brother, Stefan and Neeru (and Ashish and baby Anjali) are about to go to the US for a development tour - they will be meeting with current and potential partners for their Art for Change foundation.
One of the highlights of the upcoming tour is a series of lectures and interactions with students and donors at our alma mater of Taylor University. Another event is the Limner Society's 9th annual art gathering - this time in Orlando, Florida. Finally - Stefan and Neeru and kids will have the joy of being with Mum and Dad at our brother Upendra's wedding to Sathya in New York on October 24th.
Do write to seicher@fh.org if you would like to meet up with them.
