Friday Morning Sky Colours

What delicate shades of silver blue/grey/pink/oranges in the sky... all of which I can see through the branches of the big cottonwood tree and a few pines just outside the bedroom window.. It's a rise and savour the morning colours kind of time of the day.. I love these still hours when the house is still asleep.. I have just a couple of weeks more here to enjoy these spectacular Seattle sky colours.. I've persuaded Nondi about preponing our tickets back to India.. I think it's important for us to go back while Ma is feeling and doing good. The long flight from here to India takes a toll on even younger and healthier people, at Ma's age, along with her chronic health problems, it just gets that much tougher.. Of course Nondi is sad about having to let Ma go (she has always been Ma's pet, favourite child).. and Ma too is sad about leaving Nondi and especially Neil.. grandson and grandmother have such a beautiful bond between each other.. And I know Raphy, who treats Ma so tenderly.. makes her morning tea for her and that kind of stuff.. will also miss her.. and me.. we discuss so many things with each other.. And my heart is breaking about Lucy.. I know I will never see her again..

But, I guess one has to be practical and do what has to be done..

So, Bangalore skies, here I come..  (trying not to think morbid thoughts about Flight 370 :/ )
