Patti and I together share this most special moment and this most special memory.
As the two of us, at ages 83 and 79, enter the 'end game' of life, the poignancy of such a Memorial reaches deep into our hearts and souls. We are at the stage of life when we are losing friends around us, so this Memorial is not some distant concept to be concerned about many years from now, this Memorial touches us in the here and now.
It is located in front of a very small church in Royal Oak, Michigan, where we own the home I was born into and grew up in. It is but a few blocks from us. The small church is in the home of a former High School classmate. So the small church is really personal to me.
Think about, treasure the below words. Hold those you love very close to your heart, we never know when we will lose them.
Much Love..
Patti and Cap
Yes, I know, some of you have seen this most special photo over on babakaps.net.
Patti and I saw this scene as we entered a meeting here in Royal Oak Michigan.
I get emotional just publishing it again here on Blogspot.
Love from Patti and Cap
Yesterday in my Post titled .. 'THE MESSAGE TO ME OF THE CALLA LILIES' ..
I shared some thoughts and philosophies about all of the 'dangers' that exist here in India and how 'having to be fully present' seems to activate within me an awareness that I do not seem to have in the United States with the intensity that I have here in India.
I told Patti that here in India within one day .. sometimes several times within one hour or even within a few minutes .. I face more life-and-death possibilities than I face in a year in the States.
On my twenty (20) minute walk down-the-hill from my Internet Cafe to my Raahat Inn .. countless times trucks and buses and cars and motorcycles BLAST past me within literally 12-inches or less!
IF you don't think that I need to 'be fully present' when the below bus is BEARING DOWN UPON ME! You had better guess-again! This bus is ON MY-shoulder-of-the-roadway and I had best be on-my-toes or I die! Got it? Sudden death (mine!) is inches-away! And YES! He IS blowing his 'air-horn' at me as IF 'what am I doing on HIS road'!
What's that 'Zilla? What-on-earth am I doing taking the above photo! This is why I need your 'ZILLA - CANE .. I can NOT afford to lose-my-balance Ol' Chum! I did NOT have my 'ZILLA-CANE when I took the above photo. IF I had I could NOT have taken the above photo!
So I brought 'yesterday' with me here into this Post.
In this Post I thought that I was 'only' going to show you some photos of some cakes. I have already shown you several of the below photos over at Dot Net.
And Suddenly The Light Went On In My Brain!
This is NOT 'just' about the cakes any more than the Calla Lily photos are just about some beautiful flowers. I had to be 'fully present' to even SEE the Calla Lilies!
And suddenly SEEING the cake photos brought-me-up-short!
NO! This is NOT about some pretty cakes!
This is ABOUT PURE AND SIMPLE LOVE!
The first two cakes you have seen.
The below cake was baked at Daily Bread in Pondicherry.
The below cake was baked at Hot Breads in Pondicherry.
And now feast your eyes on The Cake that turned on the light in my brain.
The below cake was baked at Hot Breads in Pondicherry.
Go ahead! Feel some tears for the LOVE above and below!
The magnitude of the LOVE shown in the above cakes is beyond me to put into words.
The LOVE that the person or the family ordering the cakes has for some one.
The LOVE of the team that actually prepared and baked and decorated the cakes.
I refuse to be cynical .. I KNOW it's a business BUT just feel the LOVE.
The below books to-show-to-others speaks of LOVE! Should you wish to be cynical all-you-can-see is commercialism.
"Oh God of Abraham?" .. "This one I really got right!"
WITH LOVE .. Cap ..
Please continue on down to my next Post about OUR Calla Lilies.
