Baba, my deepest sympathy to this great lost. I never knew him, but
when I visited his page I marveled at his creative ingenuity. One
wonders what goes on in the minds of great artists. He seemed great
comfortable with nature and his surrounding, and as you aptly describes
he was one with mother nature.
So to Etu you are gone
the reality you create lives on
splattered in the walls of that thatched mud house
the mask that is etched on the tree stem
the creative spirit that surrounds the art village
always will be a reminder where you stand tall
you have a legacy we will remember as your call.
May God grant him eternal rest.
Rene
