For Anjali
If we had waited, Anjali
You would never have come.
Angel of our deliverance.
And so we drove
A long, long way
Through dusty tracks
Asking directions to your Home.
We chose you
From a parched garden
Of sickly flowers
Where love was thinly
Spread
Like a blob of butter
Over a giant piece of bread
What else could the poor Sisters do?
You are part village
Part city.
Your whitewash exterior
Hiding lasting pastel shades.
Warm as city roads
In summer
Open as a field
Full of wild flowers,
And as vulnerable.
Be careful child
Of our chosen dreams

I read this poem years ago, and at that time, I thought it was the nicest of all your works. And that opinion still holds. Now I have a space I can revisit to read it again and again at my liking.

Dear George,
back in 1966 already I had the great pleasure to detect what an exceptionally gifted poet you are… and I am the most avid reader of all your writings ever since.
Congratulation to your website – the best my ‘Apple Mac’ can offer me from now on: “An apple a day plus George the Menace keeps the doctor away”!
Looking forward to seeing you, Thecla and Anjali in Paris soon!!!
Love, Klaudia

Love is the source of everything good and beautiful. It is the source of our long and strong relationship despite barriers of time and distance.
