JUNE <strong>2022</strong> | 19<br />
Darjeeling Dawn<br />
At age 5, I began my formal education<br />
in a small Boarding School for Boys up<br />
in the Himalayas of India.... this was<br />
an unforgettable chapter, a “Magic Moment”,<br />
that lasted for a period of months in my young,<br />
ever-interesting <strong>and</strong> challenging life!<br />
There were about 10 Boarders (no daypupils)<br />
at the School.... I clearly remember<br />
some of the well-ordered routines of our daily<br />
life, including meals <strong>and</strong> evening “relax time”<br />
before bed.<br />
Before breakfast, weather permitting, I would<br />
often go out into the School Grounds (really<br />
the spacious garden of what had once been a<br />
private residence) to look around, explore, <strong>and</strong><br />
be ready for breakfast <strong>and</strong> the day ahead.<br />
One morning I entered an enclosed tenniscourt<br />
in the Grounds <strong>and</strong> walked around it, not<br />
thinking about anything in particular, when<br />
my attention was drawn to something moving<br />
on the blaze court-surface just in front of me....<br />
bending down to investigate, I was amazed<br />
to see a number of little, round, particles of<br />
earth being pushed up to the surface to form a<br />
miniature ‘hill’ !<br />
As if this wasn’t “magic” enough there<br />
suddenly broke out of the top of the ‘hill’ a<br />
small, glistening ‘blob’ that began to twist <strong>and</strong><br />
turn, to free itself from the ‘hill’.... it was an<br />
earth-worm.... <strong>and</strong> a “Magic Moment”!<br />
Nothing daunted, I reached forward,<br />
grabbed the worm’s head <strong>and</strong> tried to yank it<br />
out of the ‘hill’.<br />
But the worm stubbornly resisted my<br />
yanking, NOT by sliding out of my grip but<br />
by allowing me to stretch its body further <strong>and</strong><br />
further out of the ‘hill’.... how long was this<br />
worm, I wondered?!<br />
I let go, straightened up, turned away <strong>and</strong><br />
there, in the far distance, I was confronted by<br />
a high mountain peak, beyond a range of dark<br />
mountains.... a brilliantly-white peak against<br />
the background of a crystal-clear sky.<br />
I was looking at the Peak of Mount Everest....<br />
<strong>and</strong> it was another, unforgettable “Magic<br />
Moment”!<br />
