VP and Nirmala planted this custard apple sapling in 2013 when they visited us first time. During their recent visit the tree appeared taller than themselves. We had a few fruits from it for two years now in a row.
It has been our custom to request visitors who come to our cottage to plant saplings in the garden. So we have an opportunity of keeping their memories when we walk through the garden! In fact few have come back to greet us and watch the sapling grow!
Humans thrive on symbols and signs!
Watch a sapling grow into a tree, is a transforming experience because, it symbolises the inner growth, all of us are called to be aware of and stay attuned to!
