Françoise and Roger on the plateau above Cahors on a very hot day
Love changes everything:
Hands and faces,
Earth and sky,
Love,
Love changes everything:
How you live and
How you die"
~Andrew Lloyd Webber
(see the whole song YouTube)
This was a day when I had a lot of contact with Françoise and Roger, and they turned out to be guardian angels. I had met them the previous evening in the convent at Vaylats where we shared the evening meal together. After lunch this day, I ran out of water in the unexpected heat. Somehow or other it seems that we met a local who discovered we were low on water... he returned and gave my angels some water. They ran in the heat to catch up to me to share the water...cold fresh water.... Their kindness in giving me the water was every bit as restorative as the water itself.
I never saw Françoise and Roger again after this act of kindness: I would love to know how they got on, and if they reached Santiago...
