Home for now... Solitude farm.. Auroville

When was the last time you went up to the terrace and just stood there looking at sun set..
See the moon beaming with it's white light..
All the 25 people in that small terrace with so much love and respect for the evening we shared.. all sat together, switched off the artificial lights and took the sunset in and sat there is silence for a while...

Krishna started reading Fukuoka book on one straw revolution... he goes on reading about existence, farming, meaning, purpose, consciousness and all about life being a farmer and living..
I was in awe listening to people talk about things which I always thought to myself or read about.. I was telling myself, do all of these people who are in this terrace came all the way from different places of the world to the same reason why I came too? I can't explain how much hope that gives me.. it tells me I am not alone . I knew none of them, not even one single soul, yet we all spent all our afternoon and evening in the farm picking the vegetables and we ended up making a big salad which we ate for dinner..

On the terrace, after the sun set, after our reading and discussion about farming and Life.. everyone was at peace and just lied down there with nothing but trees surrounding us.. I lied down too , I looked at the sky..

Up on the sky , we saw stars... So many stars shining so bright and sending their sparkle right back to us.. like we gathered down in the farm, they have gathered to meet us today knowing we would come to the terrace and would end up looking at them and share our night with each other...
