Thank you Andreas.
There has not been a day, since the news, that something didn't spark a memory of him.
Just yesterday, I was looking at the new plants in my garden, and saw the name of the watermelon I had just planted: Moon and Stars
It reminded me of a song:
As years went by the boy grew high and the village looked on in awe
They'd never seen anything like the boy with the moon and star before.
And people would ride from far and wide just to seek the word he spread
I'll tell you everything I've learned
and Love is all...
he said.
As I mentioned before, I will never forget him.
ps. My current avatar is a tribute to him. I read the book, when I was quite young. Probably when I was 13 or 14. All I remember from the story, was that the main character understood things so much more than anyone else, that there was no word on Earth to describe such a level of understanding. A perfect description of Arild, in my humble opinion.
pps. I do not thank you for the story of the fungi, as my friends and I were sitting on the beach about a month ago, when a young man walked by, with a bag full of them. We all jumped up, and went searching in the adjacent forest. I discovered six, in the first 5 minutes. No one else found any.
hmmm... On the other hand... Thank you.
As next year, I will say; "Thank you Arild!", when I find more, as he will always be, by my side.
