A personal note from Sylvia

In the depths of Bali rainforests, it seemed that every memory that ever was came flooding into my conscious mind. A mix of numbness and joy, of touchable and untouchable, speak-able and unspeakable.

A close by, unseen gecko called, a frog croaked, and I the human…was filled with emotion as the wonderfulness of life spoke so loudly in the multi layered forest’s height and depth, colour and texture, movement and sound, sunshine and rain, rainbows and stars …the vibrant spirit of nature’s jungle. I breathed to experience another moment of ‘heaven on earth’.

Soon I would walk my firstborn, across the manicured lawn to marry her lover and become wife and husband. Memories, as though flicking through the pages of a photo album…and now our little family has again grown…a new son-in-law, his children and families now entwined through love.

Rich blessings of love to you.
