a fortune teller…

anuradhapura sri lanka aynaku travel illustration

Sitting on the ancient stony ground at dusk, I was contemplating Anuradhapura’s stunning monuments, surrounded by the solemn umbrage of trees, the silence of the cold stone, and the serenity of the sheltering sky. A man came and sat, his eyes wide open firmly looking at me. Suddenly he raised, took me by my right wrist politely, and said:
“The shape of your wrist is like mine: they both are the cobra’s shape”.
“What you do you mean?” I replied. And he:”Let me tell about your future life.”
Since my deep attitude has always been living the very moment, here and know, no matter what will be tomorrow, I declined politely his scaring offer and waited, sitting and watching that ancient city which was a model of planning in its days.

Illustration Friday’s topic is: fortune

Molto bello ricorda Serendib e la sua atmosfera incantata fino agli anni ottanta. Ho incontrato Carlito ancora in buona forma che avvisato da qualcuno si e’ visto nel tuo blog e gli e’ molto piaciuto. Ha detto che vorrebbe il tuo indirizzo postale per mandarti un pezzo di marmo di Romblon!! Cheers

Ha! I couldn’t resist such an offer! But you are right, besides, it would be boring to know what will happen to us ;)

Beautiful illo, as always, my sweet friend.

I put a candle on, I was born in 1950, so Cat Stevens was a great musician for me.
