Out of Life - Growing, Naturally ...

A friend of mine some time ago told me a personal story which I find more than completely worth to share. It was about a journey her mother made at quite a high age.

My friend's mother, my friend and some other friend went visiting the place they had lived in Morocco before they had to leave due to political reasons. It was the mother's deep wish to once again see that place she had lived and grew up.

The mother was very quiet throughout the journey, and soaked up all the impressions. The house they had lived in had been located at the end of a little street leading upwards, and the little company went there to find it.

At a point, the mother became even more quiet, just resting completely in herself.

A little smile played over her face as she voiced:

'Oh, how petty these stairs are, in fact.

When I was a child, and I remember this well, I always had to take very high levels of effort to get up to the house and the stairs used to look so high!'


Thank you & bises, A.! 
Thanks too to your mom, for sharing this more than precious finding.
We are growing, naturally, anyway. Sometimes, we still have to find that out somehow. Enjoy a nice holy day, every one, yours, Lyn
