Mahatma would not require much physical space in this house, nor many furnishings. He would have a quiet studio in the back of our pear orchard.
All day, and all night cloven hoofed goats would come out of the Argansia spinosa trees and wonder in and out of his studio.
We’d cook him some dhal and eat together enjoying long comfortable silences on the rooftops overlooking the mountain peaks of Toubkal with our esteemed houseguest, in awe of his grace, we'd listen to the wind.
