Much to un-think here, @ a 3 hour drive from Bangalore city, into tiny growing town.

At Kuppam’s local market, one or two women are speaking fluent English, their eyes are warm. I meet a beautiful lady at the Railways- she mans a 2ft iron wheel that lifts railway-cross gate. There is no time to take her picture…..
want to wish her a Happy New Year like we wished some others, but Railway lady in blue sari is busy; she turns to give me another look, then surprises us with a wide smile, white teeth and laughing eyes. The woman must be somewhere around 3o, 40? I send a small hand-wave. She waves back, laughing like a school girl.
On our next visit to Kuppam, we simply must get a pic with her.
Good holidays are also those when you’ve no time for a good photograph?

That lovely Gate is under repair. There were lesser sheep this time at Kuppam: no it’s not a farm for animals, just us humans+ cuddly paws.

She’s an Eye Doc in this town, border to three south Indian states. Li loves the precious simple life here with a faithful househelp and furry princess.







“No, they’re not ..!” is her horror response
to my Q.”What if they just want a kiss, and will turn into your Prince? “
Li loves her Prince of Peace best.





And did you know Pigeon can be trained to recognize every alphabet?
Tina’s mom is our second daughter Kitsy:) Tina herself was hatched here (also mothered by Kit, so). Complicated!
All this in our little garden which will be busy this season. Phew!
Wishing 2020 Vision for us all.

nothing missing, nothing broken.
And if there is ‘missing- broken’, may each fit in a whole new way, causing Peace beyond belief.
Selah: meaning, Pause calmly & think of that.
What amazing pictures, the gates are so welcoming. The Lord is my Shepherd. Wow, I love all the contrasting colors in your photographs. I am not the only one who loves to take photos of doors. Thank you. Love š Joni

You have such a beautiful way of expressing Life through your photography and poetic language! Truly, it captures the essence of God’s Spirit as it inspires you. I wish we all could be in God’s Presence continuously, but even our fleeting moments of inspiration can grow cold and distant if not constantly kept renewed every day. Please, continue to be inspired. And continue to live in God, as what we all should, now and always. Blessings to all. Amen.

Let us never, EVER mind others as much as ourselves when it comes to our relationship towards God! I wish I could put nice emoji’s here, but I haven’t learnt how to do that yet. Believe it or NOT, I’m still trying to learn how to use the device called the “I Phone”! Oh well, even the Cavemen/women eventually ‘evolved’, so to speak! I am getting ‘on track/up to speed’ with everything; but it just takes time for this 110 year old man. May you continue to receive all that God/Love/Life has to offer you. God bless us ALL as well.
