Description
“The man was quite a loafer. He did not have any work to do, but had lots of hobbies.
He used to pour earth into little wooden moulds and decorate them with oyster-shells. From a distance it looked like a hazy picture with a flight of birds in it; or like an uneven field with cattle grazing; or maybe like an undulating hilly landscape with a stream or a hikers’ path running across it.
His folks used to rebuke him. Sometimes he also thought that he would give up all these crazy ideas. But craziness refused to leave him alone.”

Excellent story telling 🙂
@Dipanwita Thank you!
Took a deep breadth after listening to this and sat still for a while doing nothing 🙂
I think we have forgotten how to do that…loved it.
As one Mr. Eliot said “Where is the life we have lost in living”
My mom loved the story 🙂
