“Without peace, all other dreams vanish and are reduced to ashes.” Jawaharlal Nehru

The date is looming.

Flights and hotel have been booked.

I await with mild apprehension – stressing to an nth degree about the trip.

Spreading my father’s ashes in his requested place – the time is coming.

Practical issues loom – transport of a box of ashes, how much do I pack, etc, etc.

Other issues like emotion, and closure dance at the periphery. It’s difficult to describe what this means. It happens to us all – we all die.
