nature tuning


A day filled with rain followed by non-stop sneezing.  All of nature’s miracles growing around here have no solution except for whiskey.  But that’s a last resort.  One it makes me vomit bile.  Second, the referee strongly opposes her parents indulging in any vice so I try to respect the displeasure she gives her mother after sipping a 4oz glass of beer  or father’s occasional cheroot. 
Playing the children’s version of Uno with ridiculously complicated rules with new and uninspiring symbols they expect us to accept and it feels to have thirty more extra cards because of new cards with the lame symbols.  So, let’s revise the game. 
Today, Krishna’s birthday, my first tika, marigolds on my head, and pieces of apple. A sunset ripples clouds through the valley.   Maya and Suraksha head to the Pashaputani Temple in Pokhara, stay overnight, Laxman and I play Uno until we’re too tired to play correctly, and that is a day.  The following morning, the sun rises, another day to tune with nature.
