Forty years ago today...

I just found an old photo of three friends of mine that was taken just forty years ago today. The friends were Gerard Bouvier, Jean-Pierre Chatellard and Marcel Grivel-Delillaz. We had just begun a winter season in Mount Buller, Australia, to teach skiing, the sun was shinning, the snow had just arrived to and was “flexing” the local gum trees. One could say it was the “good old days” but I would call it a good moment in time. Unbeknown to us, we're manufacturing great memories and wonderful moments everyday.

If we knew it, we'd probably pay more attention to the process and would always make sure that every step we take, every decision we make is working towards weaving a fabric of wonderful time that keep on regenerating itself. When I looked at the picture and emailed it to these three friends, I though how lucky we were to mostly have had a wonderful life and still be full participants in it. I simply wished these three guys forty more years of the same...
